You need to take care of the baby. That can be very stressful on a teen because it basically takes away from your social life. Between school and taking care of the baby there is basically no time for yourself.

Well hi im DR.Massiah and im gonna try to answer your question to the best of my ability. Teenage pregnancy is very risky that's why parents react in the manner they do when they find out. Young girls between 13-16years intestines are not perfectly strong and can be easily contaminated by a single pregnancy the baby can born very sick or premature or you yourself can get realy sick and even die.

I hope i answered your question

The following covers both teen pregnancy and teen parenting... related but in fact separate topics.

1.) Severely increased stress in all aspects of your life.

2.) Little or no time to complete or continue education.

3.) A few increased risks of medical complications during pregnancy and labor.

4.) Increased risk of post-partum depression.

5.) If you choose to drop out of high school, it will severely limit your career and college options. (Note: This is an OPTION, it is not a REQUIREMENT - you CAN have a child and finish high school and even go on to college. It is NOT easy, it is very challenging, and you have to be very determined and focused to be able to accomplish it, but the rewards are ENDLESS both for yourself and your child).

6.) Limited time and education makes it difficult to afford the things needed to parent a child without relying on some type of financial aid.

7.) If you live in a more rural area, it will likely severely limit the aid services you have nearby (WIC, Salvation Army, welfare, free clothing programs, free clinics, employment services, FreeCycle, schools specifically for pregnant/parenting teens, et cetera).

8.) The less stable you are (financially, mentally, residentially, etc.) the more difficult everything will be (see 1.).

9.) Most people will look at you differently for being a teen parent/parent-to-be, and often in a negative way.

10.) Your childhood will be cut short. You will never truly regain those years of being a mostly-carefree teenager, unless you are willing to sacrifice being a parent for it, which is a whole other mess that I won't get into here.

11.) For those more concerned about their appearance, your body will most likely never look as 'good' as it did before. There are almost always stretch marks - this is usually based more on your genetics than use or nonuse of creams and such. Your breasts will change in many ways, more if you choose to breastfeed it (worth it, though).

12.) You may be completely unable to cope with parenthood if you do not have a very good support system. Some girls' families abandon them at this point in which they are most needed, and very rarely do boyfriends stick around in the lives of their pregnant or parenting teen girlfriend. This factor is different for everyone, but more often than not it ends unfavorably for the mother/(to-be).

At this point in time, these are all I can think of. I request that any addons remain as respectful and unbiased as I tried to be in the above list. Thank you, and to the Asker: I hope that this was helpful.

8,5 billions of taxpayers money goes to this every year.

More low educated women since teen moms don't go to college. Only 1% has graduated from college by the time they are 30. 60% drop out of school.
