Teenage pregnancy is commonly referred to as conception among young women aged 13 to 19. In 2008, there was a lot of media coverage about a 12-year-old boy who impregnated a girl in the United Kingdom. Surprisingly, this case was not as rare as previously thought. Obviously, in 2008, there were four births to fathers aged 13 (ONS, 2008). Many young women have babies every year in the UK. In England alone, more than 7,000 girls under the age of 16 become pregnant each year. Nearly half of teenage girls give birth to bouncing babies. A large proportion of the 7,000 adolescent girls are aged 15 and many of them were even younger (ONS, 2008). The research to be undertaken will delve deeper into the causes and effects of teenage pregnancy in the UK. According to the Daily Mail (2009), Britain has the highest teenage birth rate and abortion rate among Western European countries, although it is the highest. ...... middle of article ......ety for the promotion of Health 125 (5), pp 214.Norman Blaike, (2009) Designing Social Research, 2nd editionOffice of |National Statistics 2008Offredy, M , and Vickers P.
