The study adopted a simple percentage survey research design involving 40 teenagers. The researcher questions were divided into two sections, section A contains the respondent’s personal data and section B contains the subject of the study. Simple percentage rate was used to analyze the data collected. The result revealed that the age at which teenagers engaged in sexual intercourse is too early, socioeconomic background, early marriage and traditional gender roles, peer pressure, lack of sex education and non-use of contraceptives during sexual intercourse are causes of teenage pregnancy. Also, that incomplete education, isolation and rejection by parents, mother’s health risk during childbirth and financial handicap were effects of teenage pregnancy. Based on the findings, recommendations were made to federal and state governments to contribute to the efforts to reduce teenage pregnancy by providing stable funding for comprehensive education for female teenagers. Teenagers should be enlightened about the consequence of having sex at an early stage at their lives and parents should stand out best to meet the needs of the teenage child. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Education project topics and materials you might be interested in»The effect of continuous assessment on academic performance of students in school (a case study of Okitipupa local government area of Ondo state)»Strategies for improving low academic performance in English language in secondary schools»The use of extensive reading in promoting communication competence in secondary school»Influence of social media on the performance of secondary school students as perceived by teachers»The effect of overpopulation on the academic performance of students - a case study of Uselu secondary school, Benin City»Effect of drill and practice on the academic achievement of students in English language in junior secondary schools»Factors affecting the effective implementation of continuous assessment in Oredo local government area of Edo state»The problems of primary school education in Kano State»Factors affecting the implementation of universal basic education in some selected primary schools»Effect of school environment on the academic performance of primary school students»Efficacy of mastery learning on retention and performance in identified threshold concepts in chemistry among secondary school students in Kano municipal, Nigeria»Cultism in Nigeria's tertiary institutions - a case study of Lagos state university»Factors associated with the mass failure of students in integrated science in secondary schools»Impact of principal’s leadership style on students’ academic performance in some selected secondary schools of Gwale local government area, Kano state»The impact of language laboratory for effective teaching and learning of oral English in junior secondary school in Aninri local government area
