What can happen if one gets pregnant before coming of age (before 18)?

When children reach their teenage years, their reproductive organs start developing and finally reach the stage of maturity where fertilization can happen. Although a teenage can get pregnant physically, they are not ready yet mentally, by the levels of knowledge and by their experiences to take care of themselves and their baby during pregnancy. The pregnancy either due to premarital sex or early marriage can lead to various kinds of social sufferings. In addition, the parents and family can also suffer from stigma in the community. If the pregnancy is unwanted and so aborted, even death can happen as the most serious result. Therefore, teenagers should be aware of the dangers of early or teenage pregnancy to be able to avoid them.
