I am a third year student at university studying Childhood and Youth. I have been asked to do a research project and have chosen to do teenage pregnancy.
I would be very grateful if you could just spare a few minutes of your time to answer the questions but please feel free to leave any questions that you dont want to answer. If you know anyone who has had a teenage pregnancy, please could forward on this message to them. Thank you.
If you dont want anyone here to see your answers, you can private message me. All information will be treated confidentially:
1) How old were you when you first became pregnant?
2) Was your pregnancy planned?
3) How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?
4) Do you feel your pregnancy was due to:
* Lack of sex education
* Felt ready to have a baby
* Pressured to have sex
* Lack of knowledge about contraception
* Alcohol related
* Drug related
* None of these, other reason (please state)
5) Who was the first person you told?
6) How did they support you?
7) Did you get support from anywhere else?
8) What other support did you feel you needed?
9) Did you have any friends in the same situation as you at the same time? If yes, how did they help?
10) What did you find hard about your pregnancy?
11) Did you look after your baby on your own or did you have support?
12) Were you able to continue with your education?
13) What advice would you give to other young girls?
