12. Stagnation or Increase in Teen Birth Rates: The
progress made in reducing teen birth rates could stall or
reverse. This is a concern especially in areas where access
to reproductive health services and comprehensive sex
education is limited.
Health Risks: Teen mothers and their babies face higher
health risks, including low birth weight and high infant
mortality rates.
Socioeconomic Impact: Teen pregnancy can have long-
lasting socioeconomic effects on teen parents and their
children, including lower educational attainment and
higher rates of poverty.
Intergenerational Cycle: There is a risk of perpetuating
an intergenerational cycle of teen pregnancy, especially if
young mothers do not receive the support they need to
break the cycle.

14. A Sippy Cup Drive is a simple way
to raise awareness that teen
parents are in our midst and need
our help.
Each participant receives a sippy
cup to bring home and:
1. collect extra coins
2. pray for a teen family
3. write the teen family an
encouraging note
It’s a simple way to make a
difference.
