And if I looked at the lady badly, my mother would check me. These days we don\u2019t have that. And, some parents don\u2019t want to hear anything about their children. But, beside the family support, there should also be community support. Maybe we can come together and talk about the challenges. Some don\u2019t have the family support and single mothers are left to fend for themselves. We need community support groups, but besides the women, the men should also do it, too.

The phenomenon of teenage pregnancy has devastating social and economic costs.
