Not the end of the world…

“Well is not something that I did want but it happen and wah I can do? I can’t throw away me daughter. I have to support her and just hope that everything work out. Fuh me is not the end of the world. She can still make it in this life.”

The words of a mother who had just found out that her soon to be 17-year-old daughter was pregnant. Now this is a mother who was also pregnant as a teenager. Seven children later, she was not prepared for her first grandchild.

I have known her for many years and I wanted to have a discussion with her about her teenage daughter becoming pregnant.
