With teenage pregnancy manifesting in all schools, a lot of focus and support regarding this issue is given to female students (girls), while none is given to male students. Literature will be reviewed during this study as a methodological approach. It is an underlying assumption of this research that the spirit of feminism could be blamed as a motivation for this one-sided focus and support. However, this paper argues that in a proper approach to parenting at any level, it makes no sense to support one victim of teenage pregnancy while there are two victims. Since scholars like Scott and Salvi have scratched the surface of this issue of teenage pregnancy, it is worth African Journal of Gender, Society and Development ISSN: 2634-3614 E-ISSN: 2634-3622 Indexed by IBSS, EBSCO, COPERNICUS, ProQuest, ERIH PLUS, SABINET and J-Gate.
