Anne is a 17-year-old teenager that is pregnant. What challenges will Anne most likely face?
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer would include the following key points:
- Anne is less likely to be married and may face the challenge of raising the baby herself.
- Anne may not have financial or emotional support, thus leading to the possibility of Anne abandoning her own education, and working poorly paying jobs for the rest of her life.
- Anne's physical and mental health may suffer due to the unrelenting stress of motherhood.
- These difficulties can affect Anne's child as well. Children of teenage mothers are more likely to show poor health and poor school performance. Additionally, these children are likely to become teenage mothers themselves, creating a cycle of pregnancy and poverty.
