RESULTS
The participants in the study consisted of 14 adolescents. All the participants said their mothers and sisters or both had a history of becoming pregnant under the age of 18. Most of them had got married because they were not interested in higher education [Table 1]. The author came up with three themes after analyzing the interviews: 1. Psychological reactions including three subthemes of feelings, concerns, and fears; 2. physical reactions including the subthemes of symptoms and feelings; and 3. spiritual reactions including religious beliefs and faith.
