In my opinion Teenage pregnancy is not a major global issue. But it could become a major/big global issue if more and more teenagers keep getting pregnant at a young age. If teenagers waited until they were older they wouldn't have to worry about becoming pregnant. Teenagers shouldn't be proud of becoming pregnant at a young age, but that doesn't mean they should be punished and constantly reminded about it. Some people would say that having a teenage pregnancy ruins your life, and it can, but not always. If a teenager worked part time as a baby sitter or watched a child minding facility they would have a better understanding of how much work, attention and care children need; rather than keeping the baby and not being able to take care of it properley. If you didn't want to keep and raise the baby but also didn't want to get an abortion you could give your baby up for adoption. Giving up your baby isn't a bad thing, it means your child would have a better chance of growing up, and would have (a) parent(s) that could handle looking after a child properley. Teenage pregnancy could stress the young girl and maybe her boyfriend out. They might not have enough money or space for a baby. I'm sure their family and maybe some friends would help buy essentials, toys or clothes for the baby. The teenagers could also leave school after the baby is born to look after and spend more time with it.
