This exploratory study looks at teenagers who have ever been pregnant under the age of 18. The major objectives of this study are to understand the nature of teenage premarital sex and pregnancy, to project the scale of the incidence, and hence to explore the implications in terms of services and policy option. Altogether 25 teenage girls were interviewed. Result of the findings reveal that teenage pregnancy is not a specifically lower-class problem, that the alienation of teenagers' concepts of sex, love and marriage, that pregnant girls delay seeking help for legal reasons and that pregnant girls are ill-informed about contraception in spite of being sexually active. The study shed much light on the myth of teenage pregnancy.
