Unplanned Pregnancies of Teens The effects that you get for being a teen and getting pregnant has its fault. The consequences of an unplanned pregnancy go beyond just the effects of the teen. It also has a lot to do with the teen, the boyfriend, the family, and the baby. I speculate that both parents will go through physical, emotional, and psychological problems. For example, the show Teen Mom has a big impact on how teens are effected when they are pregnant.

A father can often feel a lot of stress and confusion when trying to change into a teen to a young adult. Fathers usually have to be the ones to make the money and go to work for a while, meaning focusing less on an education. Also, teens often suffer from
