Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Actually happens more than we think. CDC says Nearly 1 in 5 births to teen mothers, ages 15 to 19, is a repeat birth. About 183 repeat teen births occur each day in the US.

There have been many speculations as to why this happens and many predict acts such as drug or alcohol abuse or people genuinely wanting a second child. There's definitely a connection.
