Sexual Education

Last night I got the chance of talking with a friend of mine about pregnancy in children, and we both had the same point of view about the topic. We think that many girls and boys of my generation face a poor knowledge about the topic. School usually teach us about HIV or common diseases you can get. But school is not there when you need some one to talk or to ask doubt that you have. So we came to a conclusion that nothing is better than having an open conversation with your parents, because they are the one that will never let that something bad happen to you. They are the ones that haver already passed trough you age and can give you tips so you can go to the right direction. I usually talk with my mom about girls of my age who are pregnant and girls that already have babies. I found this really sad because some of them where friends of mine and I think having babies in such an early age disturbes everything on your life(plans). Not because of bringin the baby to life I mean because you will have to drop school and where is your future? You may have sometime to start working to you can give your child something to eat or sometimes where to sleep! I invite all of you before of doing somenthing to talk to some one mayba friend, an aunt, some one in church and of course your parents. Think what can a children do with another children? At your age you are nos capable of mainanting anothers life. Abstinence is good everything has it's own time.

A mature decision. A step to been an adult

e

One week ago I meet 2 girls from a little invasion here in Hermosillo. The name of one of the girls was Lucia and the other one Estefanía. Lucia has 15 years old and Estefanía is one year older than Lucia, and both are pregnant.
The problem of pregnancy in early young girls or teenager pregnancy is a very common issue all over the world. But I have never met someone that was going through that. A lot of the underage girls decide to abort the baby because they can take the responsibility of a person in their hands. Others decide to give the little baby on adoption and the ones that are a little more mature, decide to keep them and try to give them the best life that they can.
I talked to them and they old me that the baby that they were carrying out was for a bad decision that they took. But they said that they had no regrets because they were going to give birth to a precious person in the world.
Even though their parents aren’t helping them a lot with they pregnancy, both Lucia and Estefanía are helping each other. Lucia is working at an “abarrotes” near her house and Estefanía is working as a housecleaner on downtown.
In a way I feel sad for that girls, they wasted a lot of they fun times on they teenager but in the other hand I respect them and feel proud of them because they decide to keep the babies.

Sexual Education

Is it really amazing to see how this generation, my generation, is sexually educated, or much better.. uneducated. I have some friends of mine about sixteen, seventeen and eighteen years old who are pregnant or have already had a baby. Isn’t this impersonating!? They are still teenagers and they are living a life that does not correspond to them just because they committed a mistake. These kinds of mistakes are usually because kids are not being well informed about the sexual relations and their consequences within being a young.

Parents play a very important role in this topic. Me, for example, I have an extremely good communication with my mom and my daddy, and because of this, I am aware of a lot of things that kids who don’t talk with their parents completely ignore. Especially my mom is who gives me advice and alerts me of everything. I am neither afraid nor ashamed of talking with my parents about sex or topics related to sex. I consider this very useful because being well informed, especially by parents who have already passed through adolescence, helps us to avoid becoming pregnant after a sexual relation or think two times before doing the sexual act.
It is very disappointing looking to friends of your age who have a baby. Why? Well.. because they use to drop school and leave friends, hobbies, likes, etc apart, start working and stuff in order to take care of another human being. It is an enormous responsibility for adolescents because there is too much in danger.

I beg you my friends.. think about it twice and consider having an open communication with your parents. Abstinence is not that bad!
