mothers 15-19 are 2-3 times as likely to die durring child birth as mothers in their 20's. Girls under 15 are 5 times as likely to die. For those of you who may doubt that this information comes from the article "key issues affecting the status of women" by Sadik.

In our society young people are not allowed the chance to be good parents, nor are they socialized to be good parents. In areas where people are expected to mature faster and have families younger, yes people can be good parents at a fairly young age. Regardless of this though, being a teen age mother is almost always bad for a womans autonomy. They have more barriers to their education which contributes to fewer economic oportunities.
