Correct Peer pressure to begin sexual activity is a contributing factor towards
teenage pregnancy. Limited access to contraceptive devices and lack of
accurate information about how to use these devices are also factors. Lack
of appropriate role models, desire to alleviate or escape the present
situation at home, along with feelings of invincibility, also contribute to
teenage pregnancy.
Incorrect Low self-esteem and the consequent inability to set limits on sexual
activity places the adolescent at risk for teen pregnancy. Ambivalence
towards sexuality, and not planning intercourse, are more likely to result in
teen pregnancy.
