In the article " Does Father Absence Place Daughters at Special Risk for Early Sexual Activity and Teenage Pregnancy?" written by Bruce J. Ellis, talks about that an absent father creates added stress to the family and can be linked to early sexual activity and teenage pregnancy. This article uses many studies done America and New Zealand to make its argument that the younger a girl is when her father leave the picture the more likely she is to be sexually active at a young age. Ellis states, " adolescent pregnancy rates were approximately  7 times higher in the U.S. sample and 8 times higher in the New Zealand sample among early father-absent girls than among father present girls" (811).
