The ratio of early childhood pregnancies being terminated are very high. For Example; USA(40%), UK(60%), Italy (85%) and so on. (Gyan, 2013, 3(3)) It has become a norm to the entire world. This is more common in the age group of 15-19 year old women. There are effects that comes along with early childhood pregnancy. Such effects are nonspecific and encompass various aspects (Upadhyay & Srivastava, 2016). HEALTH EFFECTS The child (mother) may develop tears during delivery, that is, cervical and vaginal tears.

WAYWARD LIFESTYLE ADDICTION: Alcohol, smoke and other drug substance are being used at a high rate, due to depression. SEXUAL IMMORALITY: It has become the trend of today; prostitution and fornication, as such girls try to find a way to fend for themselves. CHANGE OF STYLE: The girls end up adopting dressing styles that are shameful; the wearing of short, skimpy dresses and shorts, and translucent blouses and tops, since they lost their sense of respect (Smith, Gotman, & Yonkers, 2016). ABORTIONS: Abortions are being committed at will without a care that a developing innocent life is being killed in the process, the most probable cause being the fear of stigma. CONCLUSION Early pregnancies have taken a huge toll on the female gender. The victims have been left traumatized, feeling like outcasts in the society. Victims have ended up developing wanting personalities; anger issues, inhumanity and even adoption of a carefree life. Children should be advised on how to take care of themselves to avoid these many cases of earlier pregnancies. REFERENCES Smith, M. V., Gotman, N., & Yonkers, K. A. (2016).
