Children born to teens have less supportive and stimulating environments, poorer health, lower cognitive development, and worse educational outcomes.

While not impossible, it is especially challenging for teenage parents to develop bonds with their children. A high percent of them were themselves children of teenage parents and have never experienced appropriate parenting. – Jane Fonda
