Some young parents can get stressed out by pregnancy and early parenting. Some can end up feeling anxious, frustrated, angry or overwhelmed. Sometimes this can even lead to aggression or violence. If you notice your teenager struggling with these feelings, you or your teenager can get help by calling 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732). You can also get online counselling at the 1800RESPECT website.
