Teen pregnancy is hard for teens, for their parents and for the people around them. When teens get pregnant they get extremely moody and very difficult to deal with. They put a lot of stress upon their parents and the people around them. All the helping out, having to deal with the attitude and moodiness, all the pain the pregnant teen will go through. This can all be prevented, and no one has to stress over it if teens would simply avoid having sexual intercourse or try being more careful.

Teen pregnancy interferes with your education. It interferes with your education because a lot of pain and cramps come along with being pregnant and it’ll make you take days off from school.
