Adult parents and teen parents differ and they need different information.
Teen parents can really benefit from someone telling them what questions to ask in the beginning as they go through pregnancy, and also, parenting. Mostly pregnancy and giving birth, whether they are going to circumcise, immunize, all of those things, so they know those are decisions that they can make.
Another thing they can benefit from is tips on how to become a successful parent while, simultaneously, being a successful student. The other one is how to assert themselves as parents. Period. They need to be able to make the big decisions like breastfeeding and not to feel insecure about breastfeeding around their friends or family.
The last thing is that teens usually don't have the greatest diets. They could really benefit on lessons on nutrition and how to feed their babies and give them good nutrition for the rest of their lives.
