Teen Parent Facts
95% of teen pregnancies are unintended,
and nearly one-third end in abortion.
1/3 pregnant teens receive inadequate
prenatal care; babies born to young
mothers are more likely to be of low birth
weight.
1/4 of teenage mothers have a second baby
within 2 years of giving birth to their first.
Of the total number of teen pregnancies,
approximately half occur with eighteen or
nineteen year olds.
Many pregnant teens too often have poor
eating habits, and may smoke, drink
alcohol and take drugs, thus increasing
the risk that their babies will be born
with health problems.
Infant mortality rates and infant abuse
(especially shaken baby syndrome) are
significantly higher among teen parents.
Of the top ten disciplinary problems
confronting public school teachers,
pregnancy is third.
One in three mothers drop out of
high school. Teens may not have
developed good parenting skills,
or have social support systems to
help them deal with the stress of
raising an infant.
Pregnancy and parenting are cited as major
reasons females drop out of school.
