Abstract
THIS RESEARCH EXAMINES THE KINDS OF PROBLEMS THESE YOUNG FATHERS ARE LIKELY TO SEEK HELP FOR AND ADDRESSES ITSELF TO THE QUESTION: Is there a difference in the help-seeking behavior of unwed adolescent fathers who reside in different cities? Despite the complexity and diversity of their difficulties, it was clear from the analyses that the young fathers were likely to have emotional as well as concrete needs. Additionally, it was found that the unmarried adolescent fathers in this research were more similar than they were different in their help-seeking behavior.
