The main motive of this study was to review and evaluate literature pertaining to teenage pregnancy and the effects it has on family life. There are many educational programs available to young adults that deal with the benefits of abstinence, availability of contraceptives and HIV/STD consequences or ramifications, yet adolescents continue to become sexually active at a highly alarming rate.
