About Too Young
In Too Young, teen parents from a variety of backgrounds share their stories and – in their own words – offer their candid views about the difficulties they have faced.
Their compelling stories make clear that teen pregnancy is closely linked to a host of other problems for teens and their babies – including welfare dependency, health problems, absent fathers, educational failure, and more.
This new educational video is intended to help educators, community leaders, policymakers, parents, and teens better understand the challenges of teen pregnancy directly from a group of courageous teen parents who know what it means to be too young for pregnancy and parenthood.
