There are many reasons not to have a child at such a young age. Physically, a girl/woman's body isn't fully developed at 15 so if there is a pregnancy problems may result from carrying a baby at such a young age. The ecomomic factors are also against such a young mother. She often quits school to have the baby and this may lead to a lifetime of poverty and under education of which she may never get out of unless she returns to school. More young single mothers are at poverty level than any other group in the United States.
