The future does not often hold great promise for a teenage mother and her child. Two out of three pregnant teenagers drop out of school. With her education cut short, the teenage mother may lack job skills. The income of teen mothers is half that of those who first gave birth in their 20s. The teenage mother may become financially dependent on her family or on welfare.
Teenage marriages have a much greater chance of ending in divorce.
