A Lesson to remember for the Youth
Yesterday is my birthday right? And I'm already 21 years old. They said that it's already okay to have a Husband and or partner at this age because you're already an adult at this age but it depends to your decision. So, I wrote this article because of this Reasons:
Because of my Family, They already said that it's okay for me to start to build my own family already at this age and;
Because I also started to think about my Future. (It's bothering me if I want to do next Lol)
On this Article it is also my Entry for @meitanteikudo 's prompt
Because yesterday after my birthday celebration was done, I was scrolling in my Facebook news feed when I saw this clip.
Actually, I already saw and watch this before and I re-watched it again yesterday because I don't really remember what happened in that Movie since it's been a long time since I last watch this.
So the title of this movie is Jenny, Juno. It's a 2005 South Korean Movie Film and it is really good to watch for some youth because it has a lesson. Why? Because the movie is about the two 15 year old couple student.
At the young age, the girl was got pregnant and then they decided to keep the baby even if they are still studying.
How Did it Make you Feel?
While watching this yesterday, I feel mixed emotions. Because, I'm already 21 years old and they are 15 years old in that movie. At first, I'm nakikilig because the guy is so handsome and I always say 'Hope all' because the guy is so brave-No, they are both mature enough to face the result of what they did. They fight their parents and they are against in abortion or killing the baby and they still continue to study even if they already had a Child.
While in the reality, we can't have a guy like that who can do everything just so to help her partner to face the battle at the young age, After he make his partner pregnant they will run right? And as you know, when someone get pregnant at the young age, they will do the abortion or after they Give birth, they will do the adoption like giving to others the child and make it as a business.
Another thing that I feel while watching this is I can't do what the girl did when she found out that she is pregnant. I was like "Girl, At the young age you become mature? Wow!" because I can't do that..i can't imagine my life when I was on her shoes at that young age and when I was 15 , I can't bare seeing some young girls who carrying a child at the young age. Like seeing them look miserable because of the path that they choose, They stop studying and decided to work and face the poor life living and another thing that I realize that the girl is Lucky because her parents and the boy's parents are Rich so it's okay for them even if they can have a child and continue to study. While in reality, we can't do that because we are poor. Only some rich people can do that. Maybe, yes, some young people and their parents decided to keep it because the baby is a blessing. How about the other young people who are a coward? And their parents who are 'sulsol' sa mga anak na gawin ang mali. So that they can still continue their future.
How did It affect you?
At this age, Since I'm already 21 years old while watching this movie, a thoughts comes to my Mind. Some questions like: "Are you ready to have your own family?", "What do you plan to do next?", "How can you start your own life since you need to become independent already?", Etc. I can't stop thinking some questions like that because when we are getting older, we are at the stage of Planning for our future and since I'm not studying, I don't have a work, and I'm just here writing right?
I also want to know my plans to my life since It's been awhile since I started to take some notes for my self and all of what on that lists is failed.
Anyway, I think I can't-I still can't have a baby and build my own family. I'm not ready yet because I'm not still successful, I can't imagine my life if I will have a Baby at this age or on next year because I can't provide the things that my baby needs. I don't have a savings, I don't have my own house yet, and I still on the stage of enjoying my life as a single and I'm scared in marriage and it was though to take care of a baby right? Gatas pa ngalang mahal na, diba? Nagmamahalan pa ang bilihin, I'm still a palamunin to our family too and then I will add another palamunin? Nah. I don't like that to happen.
So that, I decided to save some money until I become 25 years old. I still have a lot of dreams that I want to achieve and I'm still early for that. So my answer when my Auncles and Aunt's said that it's okay to had a own Family my answer is "No, I'm not ready yet. I'm still young and I want to help my Mom first." Which is true because I don't like to become a burden for her anymore. I like to fulfill the dreams that she want first before my own Happiness. Because as a Daughter, It's my duty to help my Mom who give her best and raised me. So Marriage, is not in my Lists for now.
For now, I will focus to enjoy my life as a single because I have a lot of things that I want to do first like traveling, I want to travel around the world and I want to experience the things that I dreamed. I will focus on my Mom, i will do everything for her first, I want to make her proud that even if I did not finish my study, I can still help her to build our dream house. As for Marriage, I will plan for that if I will become financially stable because I don't like my children to experience what I experience. Like living in the poor situation. I want to save some money for their school tuitions and for their needs in the future.
Would you recommend it?
Yes! I recommend this Movie for some youth here. So that they can learn their lessons about the situation of getting pregnant at the early age. Because while watching this kind of movie, actually, when I was high school, My Teacher in Health Education is always advice us to not get pregnant early which is true because when I watch the documentary na pinanuod niya samin about Getting pregnant early, I can fell the pain, the suffering of being a Parent at early age and I can't look myself if ako yung nasa situation ng mga batang 'yon.
In being in a relationship at our early age, I can say na, it's not a sin. Hindi yon bawal guys it is part of enjoyment our youth life however, we should think wisely in making our decision and always listen to what your parents say na 'Kapag bawal mag boyfriend' Bawal talaga and don't say na hinihigpitan ng parents mo yung mga yan. Pinagbabawalan ka nila because they are worried to your future And I can tell that you are blessed and lucky to have a parents like that because they care. How about to other youth na walang pake yung mga anak nila sakanila, What happened to those young people around na nagbulakbol? Diba?
I can also say that I'm proud of my self that even if I don't finish my study, I still become a good daughter despite of what I did before like just enjoying my youth but never disobey what my Parents always say about being in a relationship. Because, I live in a life with a lot of chains on my neck before but then, I realize that it is all for my own good and future which is I am blessed because here I am now, hindi ako napabilang sa mga babaeng maagang nag-asawa but I'm not against to their life ha, it's their choice to do that. I'm just proud because I surpass the early age and I'm already 21 years old and I'm happy and contented.
And Of course, I am thankful to my parents-To my Grandparents and to my Mom because they raised me so well. If not because of them being strictful to me, maybe I am not the person right now who you know or you will never know about me. I also what to say
to myself and to you as well because we surpassed the battle of being a immature to our parents, we not become a wild daughter, and not beinh mapusok and maharot sa mga naging boyfriend natin lol.
So Guys, I write this article because I just want to write my thoughts about getting pregnant at early age and about my future. Well, I'm not against to what you wanted to do to your life. I just want to give some lessons to some youth and I know that you already know about this. Don't hate me okay?
I'm sorry if this article is so very a serious topic and it's not funny like my previous articles because I just want to talk with you about Future. So how about you, What are your plans?
