In addition to psychosocial problems, in this paper we address the economic, social and family issues that might have arisen through a structured interview of pregnant teenagers living in a foster home in Valencia, where pregnant women or single mothers live who, due to their social and family problems have been forced to leave their homes.We are also interested to know what were the causes that led to a pregnancy at this age and then to go through with it.
