Teen Pregnancy

When teens get pregnant they don't think of ending up in poverty. Researches have found that "first, it is important to consider poverty as a factor among others in leading to teenage pregnancy. Second, it is essential to consider poverty as an outcome of teenage pregnancy, not only for the pregnant teen, but for the teen father, the child, and other children that may be born to the teen mother subsequently.It has been reported that only  a third of teen mothers achieve a high school diploma and that teen father are apt to finish fewer years of school than men who become fathers when they are older, leaving both parents less equipped than they might be to earn a living. Girls who were born as the result of a teen pregnancy were found to have a 22% greater than average risk of becoming teen mothers."Despite the 40 percent drop in the teen pregnancy rate in America teen pregnancy is still very common especially in lower class areas. children who grow up with teen parents and live in non wealthy classes are more likely to have children in their teens and their children's offspring have the same risk.
