Because you have no help and you feel like you need a break but you never get one. Teens are also largely unskilled, so any employment they can get pays little. If they don't have relatives to take care of their child, then daycare often costs just as much, or more, than they can make. They also have very little practice with financial skills, emotional maturity, and overcoming selfishness, all of which are essential skills for a single parent.

Where does teen pregnancy happen?

Everywhere - teen pregnancy is simply when a female becomes pregnant between the ages of 13 and 19. However, "teen pregnancy" has become the short-hand version of "single teen mother who accidentally became pregnant outside of marriage" and in the United States is seen as a major social problem. Within this narrower context, teen pregnancy is more likely to occur among populations of non-white females, low income families, single parent households, and households struggling with substance abuse or financial resources. Unfortunately, the single strongest determinant of whether a person will spend their entire life living below the poverty line in the United States is if the person becomes a teen parent (both the male and the female).
