Teenage Preganancy Compare and Contrast !

Many things can cause a teenager to get pregnant. Social issues, poverty, and even gender roles. Depending on where the person lives that can effect them. Many people don’t think about it but a teen who gets pregant is less likely to attend college, not even that but they are less likely to graduate high school or even get a GED. When a non teen parent has a higher chance at graudating. The percent of teens graduating is about 72% to 75%. Says “http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40434437/ns/us_news-life/
Being a teen parent can stop you from doing a lot of thinngs such as going to prom, walking across the stage to get your diploma, and even getting a job. Teen who are pregant or already have a baby are less likely and have to put off prom because of the prices of dresses etc. Also most companies don’t wont want to hire a teen mother because some think they already have enough responsibilities and can’t handle having a job. Then if your not a teen parent you can do all those things suchs as going to prom and finding a job.
