The Secret
Finally, she summoned all her courage to break the news to you. Mom….i’m …Pregnant. Stare in shock, confused in disbelief. Get angry but simmer down. She is your daughter and a life is at stake.

Natural Response
Seek out the father. Is he a good guy or is he a ‘’dead beat’’

Do not condone
That relationship must be fostered and the parties must begin to think positively. After all you’ll be a grand–ma. But let her know she did wrong. Sex before marriage is fornication… one of the Ten Commandment and a terrible error of degrading moral values, loss of dignity and self-esteem. The pregnancy must however mature.

No abortion
The creator has given the approval for the precious gift of a child. She must begin the process of being a mother. A divine trust so be there for her.

Gift of life- a positive step
Her health is so vital. Clinic is a must. Love, care and peace of mind. The embryo needs these essentials to develop healthily

Branching Out
As a teen, you live to experience life on the outside. Nothing is wrong with that. But you must watch the company you choose. A platonic relationship {no intimacy} is welcome

Wolves in sheep’s clothing
Men will be men. And the male testosterone is a powerful force. Some men are wolves in sheep clothing. Beware! Many guys lust, and see you as a piece of commodity to enjoy and discard.
There is no satisfactory relationship than one of morality. Stay pure. It’s better to love him than to give in. Men admire strong woman. And if you do fall prey to his advances use a condom. A man who loves you will never entertain the thought of forced sex. And will see you for you, for you- a special holistic person. Not a sex symbol.

Patience
I courted for months. I had lots of opportunity to be intimate. I waited until marriage. And we consummated our marriage one month later. Lo and behold, my wife was a virgin.
Promiscuity is on the rise in this fast-paced world.
The sacredness of true love crushed by the raunchy libido
Gone are the days of chivalry. Men are mice.

Most relationships begin by eye contact. The focus on the outward appearance, especially when they look sexy. And these days teens put in a lot. Sometimes not. Sometime too little. So the magnetic attraction is there. You flaunt it; they clamour for it. Patience is a sound virtue. Have the fun but avoid copulation.
It’s tough on a young girl with explosive hormones but let character prevail. Money, gold, power and position will be all gone one day but character will live on for this world and here –after.

But the gentle life is on its way. And the young expectant mom, parents and lover must bond to give all the moral and ancillary support.
Your daughter will be a mother. And no role is more honourable than that. Teenage pregnancy can be difficult and demanding. Prevention is better. But be there when it happens. An innocent life is ‘’kicking’’ in the belly of a sorrowful youth. Let’s all help out in pursuit of the miracle of birth. And welcome a life to this world.
Mom be tolerant and forgiving. It happens.
