    Introduction

    Pregnancy at a young age is a huge problem that negatively impacts individuals' and communities'
    physical, social, and financial well-being worldwide. Despite many studies on teenage pregnancy, there is
    still a lack of consensus on the causes, consequences, and effective interventions to address this issue. As
    a result, this study aims to investigate and better understand the lived experiences of students in high
    school who become pregnant at a young age. (WHO, 2023)

    The importance of the study cannot be overstated because it sheds light on the experiences of
    senior high school students who become pregnant, which research generally ignores. These factors include
    the participants' experiences, views, and attitudes concerning sexuality and contraception. This study's
    findings could be used in developing appropriate treatments to minimize the number of adolescent
    pregnancies and increase the health and well-being of students in secondary schools.

    The research is essential for several other reasons, including the fact that it adds to the existing
    body of knowledge regarding the problem of teen pregnancy. Research studies on adolescent pregnancy
    frequently focus on the general population, ignoring the perspectives of specific groups like students in
    secondary schools. This study will contribute to the development of particular solutions that can be used to
    address the problem as well as provide a more in-depth understanding of the issue itself.

    The results of this research may have significant repercussions for the community as a whole,
    especially for children and parents enrolled in secondary schools, as well as educators and decision-
    makers. This study may result in the creation of initiatives that aim to improve sexual health education for
    secondary school students and increase their access to contraceptives. The social and economic
    problems, such as poverty and a lack of education, that contribute to teen pregnancy could also be
    addressed through the initiatives.

    In addition, the research has the potential to assist in the fight against the stigma and
    discrimination that teenage pregnancy suffers in today's culture. The study may lead to a greater
    understanding of the struggles of adolescent pregnancy.

    Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, many teenagers become pregnant because of a lack of sex
    education. This study will provide insights into the lived experience of teenage pregnancy and inform policy
    and practice to improve maternal and child health outcomes. It also provides an in-depth understanding of
    the struggles of untimely pregnancy among adolescents.

    Moreover, this research aimed to investigate the personal experiences of senior high school
    students who have been pregnant and to comprehend the elements that lead to the prevalence of teen
    pregnancy. The study's findings could be utilized to develop appropriate treatments to reduce the number
    of teenage pregnancies among students enrolled in SHS and promote the students' health and well-being.
    The study can contribute to a better understanding of the problem of untimely pregnancy experienced
    among adolescents.

    According to the Guidance Office of Agusan National High School's Senior High Department, (34
    students) in different strands have experienced an untimely pregnancy.
