How does teen pregnancy affect the baby of the teen parent?

Answer 1

for a teenager to get pregnant is bad because most of the time the girl is not responsible enough to take care of the child, and was not responsible enough to make that kind of decision in the first place. if she didnt plan it, she shouldn't have spread her legs for him.whether protected or not there still going to be a possibility.i am a teenage girl. who wanted so badly and nothing more to have a baby. but i realized that my boyfriend isn't able to hold that decision, and neither am i. pregnant teenage girls need alot of money to support both herself and the baby and at a young age,and that's harder than it seems. i wouldn't want to have to have problems with feeding and supporting my baby. or stealing from stores to support the child. and i definitely wouldn't want to give my child up. but those are things you have to think of before getting pregnant. and lots more on top of that.

In 100% of the cases harm is done to their bodies just by getting pregnant. The female body is not fully mature and ready to for pregnancy until age 24. Getting pregnant in the teens does significant harm to a still maturing reproductive system, as well as the immune system. The baby produces an immunal suppression chemical to prevent the body from ejecting the foreign growth taking place inside. At the time of birth, or a miscarriage, the baby has stopped producing this chemical. In a female body that has a still developing immune system, this can cause damage that can affect the rest of their lives, and substantially increasing the chances of developing cancer.

60% drop out of high school and less than 2% have a college degree by the time they are 30. Doing homework with a baby that need attention is not possible. You have to have someone watching them. Not getting to sleep is another thing that makes it hard to concentrate in school and at home.

It affects you & your child because you aren't yet an adult & you probably don't have a stable income & all the things you need to support yourself, let alone a child.. unless you are getting help from your family, or boyfriend/husband. It's hard to raise a child so young.. because it can seem like you're not only cheating yourself but your child of a better life - although you can give them the best over time...

it can affect your education. If you have a baby when you're in high school, you either drop out, or someone has to watch your kids while you are at school. It becomes harder to go to college.. because you have to take care of your kid.. & sometimes.. if you don't have a relationship w/the baby's father, not all guys want to date a girl w/a baby.

It's a hard situation to deal with. & you need alot of support to be able to do your best... For teens to purposely get pregnant while they are so young.. IS a bad decision, but if it happens, it can turn out to change their lives. & make them better people. just depends on the people & the situation..
