11-Year-Old Got Pregnant

If you watched the latest episode of Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho, you'll be familiarized with the title.

And just like what you read, yes, an 11-year-old girl got pregnant. What did you feel after reading the headline? Shocked, curious, or pitiful? Whatever it is, I also feel it.

In this world full of controversial issues, teenage pregnancy is still on the list. And each of us has a different opinion regarding this topic.

For me, being an 11-year-old girl has still an innocent mind. The one that still running and playing with friends. The one that goes to school to finish elementary. And just like other kids, full of dreams and goals for the future.

But this all changed when I saw this episode online. At that time I realized how this world gets worst. The impossible things before got the chance to become possible this day.

But, maybe you ask, why did she become pregnant? Well, her parents used to work far away from home. And this girl stays at their house alone. Her cousin, who is a boy... Loves to play with her. He always goes to their house. And from the statement of this boy, they're just talking, when suddenly it happens. Anyway, the boy is also a teenager. He's only 13 years old. Shocking right? How come this kid with such an innocent mind does things that are not supposed to do? 😥

What do you think is the reason behind this action? Pornography. The boy admitted that he saw pornography on his cousin's phone. Getting curious how it felt, he did it on his cousin.😕 And that results in being pregnant.

Both of them don't know how to take care of a newborn baby. Which is a big responsibility when it comes materially, physically, and mentally. They are both a student who is not yet graduating from high school. No work to support their child financially, no idea how to become a parent, and still lack knowledge of how to do things on their own.

In this case, their parents have a big role. It's their burden. Both the teenagers are under their decision. So whatever wrong decision they make, parents should handle it without hesitation. But of course, it's their responsibility to take action for giving discipline.

Sadly, some parents are not also a good example. Just like what I read in the comments in tiktok regarding this matter. One woman proudly says that abortion is the key to teenage pregnancy. Do you agree? Well, I am not, and forever will not.

One mistake is enough to handle and adding it is worse than ever. Please be a good example when it comes to making decisions in life. We are all not perfect, but at least set high standards.

In a conclusion, the girl that I mention already gave birth through cesarean. And she's taking care of her baby while doing her modules at home. Her parents help her of course. But her cousin who is the father of the child is not welcome to visit their baby.

Hope this article reminds us all, not to do things that affect everyone around us. Maybe we did some already, but make sure to recover and learn from it. 🥀
