What is teenage pregnancy?
These numbers echo the findings of the WHO: “Adolescent pregnancies are a global problem that
occurs in high, middle, and low income countries. Around the world, adolescent pregnancies are more
likely to occur in marginalized communities, commonly driven by poverty and lack of education and
employment opportunities,” the report reads.
At any rate, there is one thing that’s undeniably obvious here: that there are still young Filipino
women who are getting pregnant at such a young age. This translates to women who are forced to
either stop their education and raise a child, or in what’s arguably a worse case, find illegitimate
means to terminate their pregnancies.
Factors
Lack of contraception
Adolescents may lack knowledge of, or access to, conventional
methods of preventing pregnancy, as they may be too embarrassed or
frightened to seek such information.
Sexual abuse
also referred to as molestation, is usually undesired sexual
behavior by one person upon another.
Factors
Socioeconomic factors
Teenage pregnancy has been defined predominantly within the
research field and among social agencies as a social problem. Poverty is
associated with increased rates of teenage pregnancy.

Knowledge
Poverty can cause a lot. In cases, it leads to lack of education and surely
results to ignorance. Poverty causes plenty of teenage women involve in
prostitution to earn for their family, or sometimes what teenage women see in
their parents they tend to do the same to.
Freedom
A person has a lot of choices in their entire lifetime. No one can really
force someone to do something unless they want to. They have the will to do
whatever they want to do. Freedom is often blinded because of the bliss of the
moment.

Voluntariness
People always do something for a reason. May it be because of themselves
or for others. No matter the action, if the person agrees to do that action then it is
voluntary. Being to volunteer to such actions might be caused because of the
other said factors.
