Moreover the pressure of getting aware of the fact that the girl is pregnant, she now has to deal with the fact that there is also another life that she has to take care and think of. The girls those who are engaged in unprotected sex most of the times end up in loneliness, confused and needs guidance to manage teenage pregnancy. It has been seen that this is true that for about 34% of the teenage girls in USA get pregnant before the age of 20. While these figures themselves prove that such teenagers do not have enough knowledge and are getting into unprotected sex.
So action should be taken largely from the community to give proper knowledge about preventing pregnancy to the teenage girls.
Still in this modern age there are people who feel embarrassed to talk about sex and its results to their children. Although, it is difficult and natural at the first stage but in the future it will help the teenager not to make a severe fault. If you can educate openly about sex to your child then it will not only stop your child to become pregnant but may also decrease the option of having sex in teenage years. Your educational talk can also teach your girl about the different sexually transmitted illnesses and will make them more careful about sexual engagements.
In general the current youth are showered everywhere by the advertisements and televisions on sexual matters so due to the natural thoughts and the teenage force they make grave mistakes. The youths need to understand the results of early pregnancy and also they must have the information of having sex safely. Though, sometimes it is difficult to make the teenagers understand so the youths must make their choices out of the information given to them.

My daughter is 15 and we just found out is pregnant. The father is 17(?). We don't want him to have any part in this. Do we have any legal stand?

coming from a teenage parent, where the father wants nothing to do with his child, let him be a part of the kids life if he wants.
