Poor Parenting Skills

Good morning. First of I am from Africa. Poverty ,Religion and culture are different. African people tend to have more children however they live in poverty. Where I come from lack of contraceptive is no excuse. We have state hospitals. I believe that poverty is due to lack of Education. Now this being said how are you able to educate the children. Today I still can’t believe my mother..I told her I had sex she never mentioned contraceptive. I was 16 years old. We were poor. That’s why I’m highly against poor people having children. Was she educated..I don’t know…luckily I learned from that experience. I mean it’s my body my choice.

I still can’t wrap my head around it….African I guess. Not very smart….I remember my mother was always at work..never really there for me…that is also one of the reasons… poor people should not have children…My dad wasn’t really in my life…not that I care anymore…

I also feel sex education should be teached at school from an early age. Not always at home. When you younger you don’t think about the risk. Pregnancy is the last thing on your mind. I believe parents can be selfish. Poor people only think about the now..not the future.

Teenage girls should be educated about contraceptive. In my experience opening up to a parent did not help. Contraceptive should be available at all times in Africa. Not food.

In my experience growing up poor is your parents are barley there for you. Always at work. Not being Educated about contraceptive. Growing up with little adult supervision tends to make you go look for attention at the wrong places. I encourage you g girls who wants to experience sex to first get the contraceptive and wait at least two weeks. Parents are not always right.
