This document discusses teen pregnancy and why it is judged in society. It notes that pregnancy rates have declined since the 1940s but teen sex and STDs have increased, impacting education and future prospects. While teen parents may feel closer to their child, poverty and lack of education are common challenges. Causes of teen pregnancy include rape, unprotected sex, relationship issues, peer pressure, and lack of sexual education. Examples are given of a pregnancy pact between girls in 2008 and a teen mother's response to an anti-pregnancy campaign in 2013. The document ends with questions about opinions on teen pregnancy and how awareness can be spread.

Teen pregnancies are extremely common, with over 550,000 of pregnancies among teens each year. The majority of these teen pregnancies are unplanned. Learn about the must-know teen pregnancy facts by visiting Adoptions With Love: http://adoptionswithlove.org/birth-parents/teen-pregnancy-facts
Teenagers are at risk of a range of adverse pregnancy outcomes, particularly preterm birth.
The reasons for this are complex and reflect a combination of adverse socioeconomic pressures and gynaecological and biological immaturity.
The obstetrician providing care for women in this age group should be aware of the potential challenges.
Studies have shown that delaying adolescent births could significantly lower population growth rates, potentially generating broad economic and social benefits, in addition to improving the health of adolescents.
A national target should be set to decrease the incidence of teenage pregnancy in our country .
Obstetricians should have a major role in such health education.
