Teenage pregnancy

in life •  8 years ago 

Hi @drlindathenurse I totally agree with you that we should teach our kids not to have sex before marriage. Circumstances in communities sometimes do not allow this. For the Zulu community here in South Africa it is important for a girl to have a child before marriage so that she has someone to look after her and the child. Frightening with the amount of jobless people walking around here.

Ghana also had a "try before you buy" marriage policy, but the girl had every expectation that if she delivered a healthy child, the boy would marry her and help support the child. Although that has problems of its own, it is quite different from casual sex with multiple partners in which pregnancy is an unwanted outcome.

I'll follow you...
