Background of The Study

Teenage pregnancy is one of the biggest and alarming issues nowadays. Teenage pregnancy
can be defined as when a girl ages below 20 becomes pregnant as a result of unprotected
sexual intercourseand because teenagers lack of knowledge about sex education.
According to the 2002 study of Young adult Fertility and Sexuality by the University of
thePhilippines Population Institute (UPPI) and the demographic Research and Development
Foundation,26% of our Filipino youth Nationwide from ages 15 to 25 admitted to having a
premarital sex experience.This leads to the growing number of cases of teenage pregnancy that
most of the Filipino women facingnowadays. Another is the1998 National Demographic and
Health Survey (NDHS) reveals that 3.6 millionof our teenagers got pregnant. In 92% of these
teens, the pregnancy was unplanned and the majority, 78%did not even use contraceptives the
first time they had sex (Singson, 2008)
This research we discuss how do young parents handle their responsibility for their children and
their academic performance
Teen mothers face daily challenges as they struggle to take care of their child and find a way to
be the best parent they can. Because most teen mothers are still attending school or college,
finding the time and financial means to finish their education should be a high priority alongside
raising their child. Learning ways to meet the responsibilities as a teen parent will help them get
on their feet and establish a future for their child.
Education is still an important responsibility of a teen mother . Finishing high school and
pursuing a college education will allow her to be able to financially support her child and
become more independent. Alternative education resources are available that may assist the
teen mother more easily than traditional schooling. Schools that accommodate teen mothers
with daycare and transportation can be utilized as well Post-secondary schools offer many
online classes that allow the mothers to stay home and care for their child while furthering
their education.
Purpose of The Study

them information about the cause and possible effects of teenage pregnancy to their
