Also, social media usage (β = 0.10, t = 2.27) contributed significantly to the prediction of female proneness to pregnancy. Parental support (β = 0.05, t = -1.24), parenting style (β = -0.07, t = -1.80), peer influence (β = 0.07, t = 1.62) and sexuality education (β = 0.06, f= 1.68) did not contribute significantly to female proneness to teenage pregnancy.

All the predictors accounted for 55% of the variance observed in proneness of boys to impregnating girls and 31% of variance observed in proneness of girls to pregnancy. Parental attitude contributed most significantly to the prediction of proneness of boys to impregnating the girls while students' attitude contributed most significantly to the prediction of girls' proneness to pregnancy.
