ashley probably the most in this

audience has known some case in their

Family neighbors known and for whom

they do not know anyone very much I am

part of the statistics of my first

sexual relationship at 17 when

I saw the pregnancy test I realized

that my adolescence ends and I started

my adulthood is good at least not

responsibilities would be that of an adult

and the first was to give the

news my parents their

he will simply gather him in the kitchen

he said he had something to tell him and he

I said I’m pregnant

my dad let go crying and told me

I was very happy because I was a baby

mine but very sad because my life was going

to be very difficult and he was not wrong

my mom just could not believe it

because years ago he had said that

I wanted to be a nun, I insisted

and insisted amnesia them to wait for me

assured that at that time I wanted

have said home

I remember the comments of the people

that they were learning that he was

pregnant the truth they made me

misplaced questions came to

ask if it was really

my first time as if there were some

difference

they also asked me why not

I took the pill the next day

I’m just going to think what that is

I wish I had helped

quite if they had asked me

example how I felt that if I

they could help in something that he planned

do if you wanted to keep the baby in

adoption

those questions did not come and I had to

decide for me alone and I decided to get married

I got married at seven months of pregnancy

in my boyfriend’s house and right there it was

dinner we rent tables and go to the

keyboardist or beer cake and the truth

it looked like a funeral they will see the

faces in this life nobody wanted to be the

girlfriend only me the truth being

sincere

I decided to get married because in addition to being

in love but despite that age you

you know, I really was very afraid

the next step I single word no

had loaded a baby that had not

seen therefore we got married and the

two months was already on her way to be

mother and a cesarean section

I was so nervous that it did not work and

I felt when they opened me and everything

what they touched me the doctors accepted

too much and I fell asleep totally by

so when my daughter was born I did not

I noticed

the recovery was quite heavy my

Face says it all

w recovery when I finally had my

daughter my hands I would like to tell you that

the maternal instinct springs from me

pores and that was love at first sight

but it was not like that

our love was building day to

day to go bathing her watching her laugh and

every night to unveil or cry together

with her until she became my

motivation to never surrender to

the four months was already back to

the university did not want it to happen

time I just wanted to finish for

to be able to generate income and be able to provide

a future to my daughter and me this stage

it was quite difficult for me because in

a six month period I would

I became a wife and the mother

student my father was still paying the

tuition

the grandmother of my daughter took care of it while

I was at school and then after

of three long years where I only give them

I told my friends that he wanted me

run over to be in a coma and power

rest came to the graduation of

again I felt proud of myself and

I could see the light at the end of the road

I consider my case as a case of

success for all the support I had and for

my sense of responsibility and effort

but what about the girls who do not

has the support that youtube

I started thinking and did a search

fast on the internet and I found out that there

scholarships to the scholarship a scholarship from the

Secretary of Public Education

the conacyt scholarship that is

specifically for mothers who are heads of

family and then I said ok get

I was here is an opportunity to

study but then you will see yourself

will have to face the next challenge

what is it to take care of your baby while

you’re in school

As you can see, it is not easy to return to

Studies after a pregnancy do not

planned therefore I dare to give

the recommendations based on what I

I have lived my experience

The first one is for parents who have

children pass

not for a situation like this one

unplanned pregnancy parents remember

that it is not time to punish being

indifferent

total support is required both

economic as moral so they can

meet the new responsibilities and

those that already had as the school

please do not collaborate or be of

agreement with marriage this age of

marriage they think they’re going to have

getting married for these reasons I do not see my

next recommendation is for

parents in general who talk about

sexuality with their children

I think this is a big measure for

avoid these statistics are high

I spoke with them not only above

why not tell them what the

experiences are the sensations that

they have when you see they do not take your hand

for the first time share a little that no

work or that is not a taboo of the

trust does not mean you give them

permission they will never ask you

obviously they also do not give them the

100 percent confidence in

example that you are seeing netflix in the

room while you’re watching TV

or asleep

you do not have to give them easy situations

because if it gets complicated, they’ll see

plan it and probably carry

protection reiterated speak of

sexuality

remember that the school or anyone else

will talk to you as you can

speak to you in fact the secretariat of

public education last year had

a controversy over implementation

of the parents’ sexuality manual

They made protests because they were not

agreement they said it was too much

information for the children that I am going

to give bad ideas

so I think Mexico is not

prepared for sexuality and while

do not be situations like mine

will continue to pass every day my last

recommendation is for young people

are going through this situation

remind them to fight that they plan

ask for help they have the right

do not stop long for

lament because they feel guilty

embarrassed losses do not know how

they came to and the world is not going to

stop with you then fight for

your future is the only way that I

I know they can get their life back

keep studying and of course it comes from

the hand of recommendations do not marry

at that time for those reasons and that

age but for the right reasons

wait for the truth sometimes it ‘s better mother

single for a while that is

divorcing the 23 years old I’m telling you

experience

remember that being wrong is not the worst

what can happen to you or not the worst

you can do and not do anything to

fix

in my case a mistake the

it became the motivation to do

the woman that I am now you in that the

they converted

and
