It is unfortunate that "girls born to teen mothers are more likely to become teenage mothers themselves, and boys born to teen mothers have a higher than average rate of being arrested and jailed" (NCBI, NLM, 2011, para 15). Teenage mothers are about 2 years behind their age group in completing their education (NCBI, NLM, 2011). Children of teenage mothers are more likely to drop out of high school and have lower school achievement, have more health problems, be incarcerated during teenage years, face unemployment as a young adult, and give birth as a teenager (CDC, 2012a).
