Lack of control

Many female could become pregnant if she has lack of control on her life or has low expectations regarding her future. In some cases, it has been found that teenage pregnancy is also a result of depression that directs them towards risky sexual activities. Some teenage girls end up in pregnancy due to alcohol or drugs abuse which is the reason behind inadequate use of contraception. According to Mc Kay et al. (2000), most teenage girl that involve in social problem directs them towards risky sexual activity. Adolescents may lack knowledge of, or access to, conventional methods of preventing pregnancy, as they may be too embarrassed or frightened to seek such information. In the United States, according to the 2002 National Surveys of Family Growth, in 2002, sexually active adolescent women wishing to avoid pregnancy were less likely than those of other ages to use contraceptives (18% of 15- to 19-year-olds used no contraceptives, versus 10.7% average for women ages 15 to 44). Among teens in the UK looking for an abortion, a study found that the rate of contraceptive apply was almost the same for teens as for older women. In other cases, contraception is used, but proves to be too little. Inexperienced adolescents may use condoms improperly or forget to take oral contraceptives. Contraceptive failure rates are higher for teenagers, particularly poor ones, than for older users. (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2005).

Actually there are the tips in handling this problem. Teenagers-both males and females - who are sexually active, need easy access to contraceptives and confidential family planning services. Young women who are poor or low-income also need the same opportunities as their more advantaged peers to terminate a pregnancy if they decide that they are not capable of bearing and raising a child.

To conclude, there are three main factors that caused pregnancy among teenagers which is lack of education regarding birth control, inadequate love from family and lack of live. To solve this problem, parents should aware bout their child activity, and give them appropriate information about sex.
