In Hong Kong a study was conducted with teens that were pregnant. The study was conducted with nine participants and it shows that the pregnant teen would usually approach the boyfriend first regarding the pregnancy. The father of the baby significantly influenced the teen with regards to her pregnancy. In this case, four out of the five chose to have the abortion. The teens stated the decision was because of the bad relationship with the boyfriend (Yuen & Pui-ling 2014). Three of the teens had decided to co-parent with the boyfriend because they had received support from the boyfriend. Only one teen in the study decided to become a single parent. If the teen could not get support from their boyfriend then family advice was sought. In cases where the teen lived with her mother, advice was sought and the teen’s mother would recommend an abortion. The advice was because the teen was too young to be a mother. Teens would also turn to other relatives such as grandmothers, aunts or cousins. In Hong Kong the unmarried teen with a fatherless child faces a social dishonor and judgment unless the teens decide to get married. (Yuen & Pui-ling
