Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Developmental - Research consistently shows that adolescent mothers struggle when trying to form and maintain stable interpersonal relationships and family life. Many of these teen parents continue their dependence on family members rather than shifting to more independence and autonomy.

Socioeconomic - About half of all teen moms, and over three-fourths of all unmarried teenage mothers, receive welfare within five years of the birth of their first baby; about 80 percent of teen parents eventually depend on welfare for their economic support. Teenage moms are also more likely to drop out of high school than their non-pregnant counterparts.
