INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
The number of teenagers giving birth each year is
staggering. In fact of the slight more than 10% of young mothers are teenagers.
Nigerian birth rate for adolescent is one of the highest in the world and the prevalence
among female adolescent in Nigeria of sexually transmitted infection including
HIV is climbing rapidly. In an effect to reduce her high pregnancy rate by
teenagers including other problems, Nigerians developed a national reproduction
health policy in the year 2000 that focuses on preventing risk sexual behaviour
during adolescent (national Population Commission) Nigeria demographic and
health survey 2004, Abuja Nigeria Commission 2006.
While sexual knowledge is higher among young people
put of school sexual experience while in school pay prompt students to acquire
sexual knowledge and to move out of school. In Nigeria, pregnancy and
motherhood mark the end of school attendance and by 16 years, 21% female adolescent are either pregnant or
have given birth. Teenagers face daily pressure from peers, they are expose to
influence of TV movies, the music industry and internet etc unfortunately young
ones are too inexperienced to handle the consequences of pregnancy.
1.2 STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEMS
This research work is to look into the causes of
teenage pregnancy among female students and its effect. Millions of children
return from school to an empty house because both parents are of the working
class, which makes many teenagers less parents. Dysfunction families have set
the stage for pregnancy. Many parents feel that their young ones will be taught
sex education in school while the schools have failed to meet that demand. So
good foundation of sex education both in school and at home, there is also the
powerful influence of the media because teenager usually spend more likely to
practice these behaviours in real life and have multiple sexual partners. In
our computer age, children do not need to have computer in their homes before
using one, the use of computer have increased in many country including Nigeria
and sexual materials of all kinds are easily accessible through the internet.
Unsupervised internet use may expose teenagers to pornographic and sex chart
room, some teenagers are willing to accept sex if they are paid and some adult
encourage teenage sex by deliberately taking advantages of their being poor.
Most parents fail to understand their children and
do not have a close relationship with their children as a result, find it
difficult to confide matters to their parents.
1.3 PURPOSE OF
THE STUDY
School age girls who are become pregnant come from
all socio-economic classes, all race, and all part of the country. The main aim
of this project therefore is designed to help many youth face dilemma of unwed
parenthood as well as practical suggestions for adolescents in avoiding the
pitfalls of being pregnant and becoming parents suddenly.

our moral society.

available to all at the appropriate time become next in priority.
1.6 SCOPE AND
LIMITATIONS
The study has weakness of limitation that may
affect its result or interpretation. Non-random selection of participants in
some schools may have resulted in a sample that did not present the population
of secondary school students in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area in Edo State.
Furthermore, although Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area I the country students
differ and their sexual behaviour and family differ and the study collected
data from adolescents. In schools, where less than third of those that attend
the schools are adolescents the result cannot be generalized to all adolescents
nationwide. Finally, the study was strenuous, time consuming and there was lack
of finance for transportation as a result of high cost of petroleum product and
bad roads.
