"When teenage girls fall pregnant, many report facing stigma from teachers and
peers at their own school. What’s less well known, however, is that the stigma
often continues at the school their child attends, and often long after the
mother has aged out of her teen years.
A growing body of research, including my own interviews with women who were
teens when they had their first child, reveals it’s not uncommon for these
parents (and their children) to face exclusion by other parents, or unkind
comments from educators.
By better understanding the experiences of teen mums and their children, we can
challenge stigma and ensure more equitable access to education."
