Original
Teenage pregnancy is pregnancy in human females under the age of 20 at the time that the pregnancy ends. A pregnancy can take place after the start of the puberty before first menstrual period, but usually occurs after the onset of periods. In well-nourished girls, menarche usually takes place around the age of 12 or 13.

Pregnant teenagers face many of the same obstetrics issues as other women. There are, however, additional medical concerns for mothers aged under 15.[2] For mothers aged 15–19, risks are associated more with socioeconomic factors than with the biological effects of age.[3] Risks of low birth weight, premature labor, anemia, and pre-eclampsia are connected to the biological age itself, as it was observed in teen births even after controlling for other risk factors (such as utilization of antenatal care etc.).[4][5] Every day in developing countries, 20,000 girls under age 18 give birth.[6] This amounts to 7.3 million births a year.[7] And if all pregnancies are included, the number of adolescent pregnancies is much higher.

In developed countries, teenage pregnancies are often associated with social issues, including lower educational levels, higher rates of poverty, and other poorer life outcomes in children of teenage mothers. Teenage pregnancy in developed countries is usually outside of marriage, and carries a social stigma in many communities and cultures.[8] By contrast, teenage parents in developing countries are often married, and their pregnancies welcomed by family and society. However, in these societies, early pregnancy may combine with malnutrition and poor health care to cause medical problems.

Teenage pregnancies appear to be preventable by comprehensive sex education and access to birth control.[9] Abstinence-only sex education does not appear to be effective.[10]

Revised
Teen Pregnancy to me would be around 17 or 18 because that's normally when teens would start having sex and getting pregnant. Some teens may not understand or care about all the responsibilities that come with having a child so young. When your a teen and you have a baby you will start doing adult things so that you can take care of your baby. Once that baby is here then there is nothing to do, I'm not trying to make it sound like babies are bad or its bad to have a baby, I'm just saying that there is a time and place for things like that and while your in high school is not a good time especially if you get very distracted and you know a baby would really mess things up. I know that things happen and sometimes you cant take it back and there is nothing you can change about it. Some teens do end up deciding to get married because of the child, because they want to do what's right and stay together for the baby.
