Depends on the parents. Not all are the same and most are actually good parents. During the pregnancy teens don't eat as well as adults and fewer quit smoking and drinking and don't exercise. More babies of teen parents than of adults are born premature. We know that teen pregnancy have a tendency to be inherited so many children of teen parents also become teen parents. They also have a higher risk of ending up in crime. The majority also end up with only one parent.
