 American Pregnancy Association define teenage pregnancy as pregnancy that occurs for a
woman under the age of 20. We all know that this is normal nowadays, it's getting worst. As
the day passes by, cases of teenage pregnancy increases as the risk of poverty increases too.

grow up in a broken family because their parents are not yet ready with their
responsibilities. All children have the right to have an education but if they are lack of

consequences. Every breath is meaningful. Enjoy your youth but don't destroy your future.
