The document discusses the challenges of teenage pregnancy, including lack of education leading to lack of information about safe sex practices, risks to both mother and child such as premature birth and low birth weight, and long-term complications like lower education levels, income, and job opportunities as well as dependence on others or welfare. It raises questions a teenage mother may have about options like abortion, support from the baby's father, reactions from parents, ability to continue schooling or get a job, maintaining social relationships, and obtaining government assistance.
