Stereotypes affected them at school and they felt it was necessary to abandon their studies. Pregnant teenagers are often the subject of criticism. The stereotypes come from politicians using teenage pregnancy to shame them. Teen mothers felt the best option was to go to an alternative school because they did not think they would graduate if they continued to attend their school.
