  This is a very serious national issue that needs to be resolved. I know people will use this article as an excuse to make tribal or political remarks but this is a national issue which needs a focused national plan to be implemented. In addition, parents and churches should be working together because when girls become pregnant at this age, it stops a lot of them from continuing their education and it deprives them of a bright future. I hope there will be a conserted effort to reduce this menace.

  Most of these cases are related to the massive influx of Northerns in the Ashanti Region - Kayayee

  Tetteh, now you have aired your tribal grievance but you did not suggest any solutions to this national issue that is plaguing all regions. What ideas do you have to reduce teenage pregnancies nationwide?

  I am an Akan myself but not Ashanti Akan. I know my fellow brothers ASHANTIS would have made a lot noise Be it from another region. Pls ASHANTIS don't be angry, do to others as you would like them to do to you. Simple. Go to Kumasi and see, God forbid if you are from another region and makes the slightest mistake to even speak your dialect, you will be teased like an alien. Pls remove the log in your own eyes before removing the beam in the eyes of others.

  Koo, you have made your point based mainly on tribal issues but have not addressed the issue of teenage pregnancy which is high in all the regions. How can we reduce the increase in teenage pregnancies nationwide?
