The book addresses adolescent pregnancy as a complex phenomenon primarily characterized by its unwanted nature. The first chapter analyzes the personal, family, and social consequences faced by young women when they assume responsibilities for which they are unprepared, often disrupting their life plans. The second chapter studies the nutritional status of children of adolescent mothers during their first year of life, comparing them with those of adult mothers, and warns that a lack of adequate care and sufficient nutrition can lead to chronic malnutrition and severely affect their growth and development.
