It makes it nearly impossible, not saying it can’t be done, cos it can….. but it’s more than likely that single teenage mommy will never attend a higher education b/c they simply cannot afford it and have to work….. maybe when the kid grows up then the teen could continue education, but I’m not a teen and I have 2 kids and can afford, but my time won’t allow it…. my husband travels for work so he’s never around long enough for me to go back to school…. i don’t need too, but I’d like to someday get a masters…..now I can’t though…. and I’m a parent who’s extremely stable…. so a teen is gonna have it really hard…..

Risk Factors. Although it is not inevitable, some life circumstances place girls at higher risk of becoming teen mothers. These include poverty, poor school performance, growing up in a single parent household, having a mother who was an adolescent mother, or having a sister who has become pregnant.

Teenage pregnancies have become a public health issue because of their observed negative effects on perinatal outcomes and long-term morbidity. The association of young maternal age and long-term morbidity is usually confounded, however, by the high prevalence of poverty, low level of education, and single marital status among teenage mothers.

Being a parent limits the ability to continue studying cutting the chance of getting a well paid job to support your family and improving finances.
