The idea
About three-quarters of teen pregnancies are unplanned, and about half of teen mothers finish high school by twenty-two, against about ninety percent of women without a teen birth.

Sons of teen fathers almost twice as likely to become teen fathers themselves.
Where people slip
Teen parenthood is linked to lower education and earnings, though some teens are motivated by parenthood.
