There has been rampant cases of teenage pregnancies and one may be wondering what might be the problem. In this article I’m about to write, you will be enlightened on the causes.
Causes of teenage pregnancies in recent times.
It is heart breaking how young girls under age of today all of a sudden get pregnancies which they don’t even know who is responsible for. Some of these young girls do it out of negligent but others too do it out of ‘having no one to take care of them’.
First and foremost, we now live in a world of curiosity where young people upon hearing anything wants to try it on their own to see. These girls are not exceptions, they out of curiosity go and have sexual intercourse with boys, sometimes men just to have a feel of how it is. And by so doing end up getting pregnant.
Another worrying cause of teenage pregnancy in recent times is neglect of the children by there parents. Parents of today tend to love their businesses than their children, why do I say this? I say this because parents no longer take notice of when their children go out and when they come in and this gives the children freedom to roam to wherever they deem fit to them and at the end bring pregnancies.
More to the above mentioned points, peer group influence also play a vital role in getting our young girls pregnant in the sense that children learn mostly from their peers and they easily imitate each other so if children are not cautioned not to follow bad friends, they will end up being influenced and unwanted teenage pregnancy will set in.
