Are pregnant teens more or less likely to finish

[maybe a little]

college, are there any statistics on this, where? I can't find statistics anywhere online.

From my experience as a teen parent and knowing teen parents. I think it's a 50/50 chance. Some girls feel now that they have a excuse not to be doing school.I myself.. after having my child, I went back to school.. upgrading a couple courses and will be doing Nursing next year. It's just determination.

Less likely, but that's not to say that they all drop out. It makes a lot even more determined to get qualifications to support their child. I'm 16 and I gave birth to my first two weeks ago, and although I'm definitely going back to school for the first time in my life I've thought about quitting. I just don't want my baby to be brought up by someone else and I'm up all night with her so I'm exhausted during the day. But I know that in the long run it's best for me to go back.

The likelihood is very slim. Less than 3 percent of teen mothers finish college, or go back later to get a degree.Teen pregnancy hurts the mother in many ways:http://www.teenpregnancy.org/whycare/sowhat.asp
