Abstract

The occurrence of pregnancy among teenagers is a growing phenomenon in Romania in recent years, leading it to be placed, as a country, in an undesirable place in this field, following European statistics. 45% of births registered to girls under 15 in the European Union are in Romania, which places it in first place. Through this paper, I tried to identify some answers to the questions regarding the causes that lead to the occurrence of an early pregnancy, respectively the motivation of teenage girls to become mothers, the dynamics of their existence in the context of the appearance of a pregnancy at an early age, the image of these young women in Romanian society.
