The same way they get pregnant when they are older. Unprotected sex.

The media glorifies premarital sex, and makes it seem fun, when, in reality, it can cause disaster.

Because they're teens?It's not an actual problem, it's been going on since the begining of mankind. You'd think with all the information available to us, and more sexual freedom, we'd be more intelligent, but nah.

We'll Sometime They Try And Fit In With Others And Some Are Getting Pregnant For The Money But Most Of All They Do It In Spite Of There Parents Maybe To Get Away From Homealot Of Teens Don't Realise That Having A Baby At Young Age Is Very Hard And This Is Something That You Just Can't Take Lightly I Was A Very Young Mum When I Had My First Child And I Lost All My Teen Ages The Parting And Stuff And Would Advise Any Teenager On Doing What I Had Enjoy Life To The Max First

Bad parenting isn't the only cause to this. Neglectful parents do play a large role in their children getting pregnant at an early age simply because they aren't communicating with them, or don't care to communicate with them. Some parents think they don't have the right to tell their children to not have sex at an early age if they did it themselves.Just the opposite can happen too. Parents can be very educating and straight forward in this aspect of a parent/child relationship. However, factors like peer pressure and rebellion cause kids to do exactly what they're told NOT to do.Teen pregnancy is definately a problem here in the US. You can try to coax or persuade the juvenille public to do the right thing by giving them useful advice, but it's up to them to decide what they'll do with their lives. Everyone has a mind of their own.
