Teenage Pregnancy

 Teenage Pregnancy

                                                            Teenage pregnancy occurs in females aged between thirteen to twenty years when they engage in unsafe sex with their partners leading to unwanted and unplanned pregnancies. Studies show that teenage boys, as well as older men, have unprotected sex with underage girls and they become pregnant in the process. Most such men don’t end up marrying the girls. Adolescent pregnancy is a widespread social problem caused by a lack of communication between traditional parents and adolescents leading to a lack of sex education. 

                                                The glorification of sex in the media gives adolescents a distorted moral and ethical vision and they fail to understand the consequences of engaging in underage sexual activities. Teenage mothers and children are often socially isolated, and such mothers are forced to drop out of formal; education. They are not accepted by society. most of them earn money by engaging in prostitution to increase the cost of living and reach a higher level quickly. But their purpose is not fulfilled. even the children of prostitutes are not accepted by society due to the mistakes of their parents. A lack of education, low background, overall lack of awareness of sex education, and birth control methods leads to increased teenage pregnancies.
