Teenage pregnancy is a relevant problem nowadays. This problem exists in every part of the world. It is possible to say that the rates of teenage pregnancy slightly depend on economic situation in the country. Every year millions of young women get pregnant because of thoughtless behavior and poor knowledge about the consequences of the unprotected sex. Many experts think that the best method to prevent teenage pregnancy is to provide young people with information about contraception. Moreover, it is reasonable to provide teenagers with free condoms, because many young people do not want to spend money on contraception. Nevertheless, people wonder whether access to condoms can prevent teenage pregnancy and whether this method is effective.
In some cultures, teenage pregnancy is a norm. When we speak about Muslim cultures and feudal European society, we can say that teenage pregnancy was a norm, because women got married in a very young age. The length of human life was short; no wonder, people got married early. With the run of time, this tradition disappeared. Nowadays, early sexual activity is popular among the absolute number of teenagers. Consequently, the risk of pregnancy is very high. Very often, young people report about cases of unpredicted pregnancy. The main reason is poor knowledge about sex and contraception.
