This event was attended by school teachers, the head teacher for educational work, the responsible teacher for educational work, a nurse, and students of grades 10-11 (girls).

Teenage pregnancy is a global phenomenon with well-established causes and significant health, social and economic consequences. Globally, teenage fertility rates have fallen, but the rate of change varies by region. The problem of early pregnancy is relevant because in the modern socio-economic conditions of the country, the number of early pregnancies and births among teenagers increases every year. This is a global trend. Therefore, pregnancy and childbirth at a young age can be dangerous for both the mother and the baby. The negative aspects of early pregnancy include the fact that 70% of teenage pregnancies end in abortion, and another 15% are miscarriages. And only 15% of girls can safely carry babies to term and give birth. Artificial termination of pregnancy cripples both the body and the soul of the girl. All these issues were discussed during the round table.[/vc_column_text]
