207/366: Too young and uninformed.
Positive pregnancy test at only 11 years of age. She did not know she was pregnant. She had no idea that missed menses, gradual abdominal enlargement and feeling something move inside her all point to pregnancy. This is why we need to educate the youth about sex, pregnancy and reproductive health. (11.24.11)
Please reblog this. This is an actual experience from PGH.
Also, 18/F, pregnant for the second time; her partner, twice her age. Had an induced abortion at 16; at that time, her partner was thrice her age. When asked what age she was when she first had sex, she couldn’t answer. Not because she couldn’t remember, or was ashamed, but because she didn’t know what sex is.
