Some adolescents are married, and some are single. Some of them are still living at home with their parents; some are living single rooms or apartment; some live alone and some have found companions-congenial or otherwise; some have children and some do not-most of their children are quite young. Some have moved away from their family home towns and are not near any of their immediate family; others have parents, grandparents, and other family in the immediate community.
