Abstract: Teen pregnancy is becoming more and more of a problem in the Philippines, and several factors, including a woman's financial situation, her level of scholastic achievement, and her social network, influence her likelihood of becoming a mother. In the provinces of Dipolog and Dapitan, a study was conducted to evaluate the psychological health of 120 pregnant young mothers who were also enrolled in school. Throughout the study, the individuals demonstrated positive mental and emotional well-being in spite of the difficulties they faced. Their parents, teachers, and medical experts provided them with moderate aid. They received this aid. On the other hand, sociocultural, economic, and physical variables mostly determined the amount of aid. These elements served as the support's cornerstone. The report emphasizes that to help pregnant teenagers overcome these obstacles, parents and teachers must provide them with material, emotional, and physical support. The purpose of this study was to assist pregnant teenagers in resolving these issues.
