Teen parents are not set up financially to support a child. Thus they must rely on their family or the community (through taxes that people pay) to support their children for them.

Teen parents will have to make sacrifices in order to take care of a child. Instead of going to college or pursuing their dream career, they will need to immediately find a job to help support their child. Likewise, teen parents will not be able to go out partying with their friends and dating will become very difficult as they must find a babysitter any time they wish to go out.

In many cases, the teen parents are not emotionally mature enough to take care of their children. This can lead to the children being abused (most often through neglect) and the community then has to pay for foster care of the children as well as paying to imprison the teen parents who have become child abusers.

Plus, since contraception is so easy to obtain (and is even offered free by some organizations) and it requires 2 teens behaving irresponsibly (not using contraception) to create a child, most teen parents have shown that they are already irresponsible and the cards are stacked against them.

Fortunately, there are other options including abortion and adoption.
