hi guys listen up we have this very
serious problem that we should talk
about and should be disgusting it is all
about teenage pregnancy here in the
Philippines well I have a friend of mine
who is suffering a very very serious
problem just like what I said and she is
getting laid board a few months from now
and based on the website I've searched
earlier from the PFA the government the
pH did you know that one in ten young
Filipino woman aged 1519
if already a mother are pregnant with
first job it is final results from that
2013 national demographic and hurt
survey so I think we should discuss this
for us to be alert and we can be aware
because this problem is very concerning
um how about the general opinion about
these features now that I think about it
his sister was actually pregnant with
her first dog first son like she was
about my usual as well I think that her
experience without its variable
we didn't actually know until it was six
to seven months and her baby bump is
really big already when I first saw her
I was really I wasn't shocked I thought
that maybe she was just getting fat or
maybe she was not getting like she's
she's huge on every activity that's very
real to say but it was very
it's very weird to see someone that is
so young and then she's actually
pregnant she's she's already she's
already going on with this think that
should be something that we have to
go on when you're a lot a little bit
older you're not what we're still
studying so it's very it's again it's a
really alarming situation that most of
the people here are
going to empower Bucky then you know I
about English pregnancy
I do
because my class my sister's classmate
majority stopped studying because she
got Saarland man I'm not sure what age
is but
because she's one of the she's one of
our rules in there and then
like it was just a big surprise that you
got pregnant so early
okay since I've heard two experiences
from the two of you I think and I have
this legend running through my head
who should we blame about this issue
how about the Jamaica
[Music]
[Music]
from the parents okay so on your side we
should blame the parents from this issue
how about it
well
our only
after much lobbying by
and to be good
you know it is also because they are not
aware of you know sex education that's
why the area they are being peer
pressure attendant irritation actually
we can never blame those who are
suffering some teenage pregnancy because
maybe it is because of an abuse maybe
they are raped
maybe they were just they were just
course they were just forced to do that
that's why it now they are already
suffering from teenage pregnancy because
it may be also because of peer pressure
peer pressure is another major cause of
sexual abuse and a fan and a female's
may be pressured or forced by older male
partner and you know some teenagers
nowadays already have a partner you just
young age okay um based on the stories
of extent that you've told
I think Jamaica I've just said that it
is our parents that uses both in issue
and JD just told us that it is our
church our religion that's that is also
involved and finally that Hawk told us
that it is caused by peer pressure
how about you ask me what can you say
about this issue
Robert the majority of the ferrets are
on supporting the financial needs of the
child but they want to know our sex
education of the children
see
me
then their needs
in the future I mean the
for them to alert you know because you
know here I have some strategies
strategies and tips for helping high
school or teenaged students to prevent
pregnancy okay so we so right now we are
going to discuss how we prevent how we
can present okay so we're leaving them
it's and strategy so number one they
should have sex in their house which
means sex education because if a if your
is your son or daughter doesn't know
anything about sex education they would
be curious they would confuse themselves
that it was something that's why they're
going to maybe look at the internet try
it by themselves that's why right now
maybe that we are our country now is
suffering from a big number of teenage
pregnancies because they're not
explained about our sex education and
also they should be teach that they
should respect with themselves because
if they doesn't respect themselves they
wouldn't let other they wouldn't stop
others telling them anything
and also they should lay out the
consequences they should tell them that
if you do this those things there are
bad consequences and you will totally
regret it and some is here everything
here is discussed of the options
well don't make a sex a taboo subject
okay have fun isn't that is some of the
useful tips and strategies for us to
prevent teenage pregnancy of how about
each other
to actually say that having like a kid a
having a child when you're well you're
still developing as a teenager as a girl
it would actually give
diseases as well here but for the kid
and for yourself as well
I need me offer you there could also be
here your kid good grow up with some
you call that
probably sickness yes sir that's all II
do have on the season there lever door
blood and everything else
again you're still developing and so
it's awesome this so is the child
okay just like what I've heard from each
one of you poverty
Parenthood or the guide from our parents
the religion the peer pressure ignorance
and ignorance here are some of the
things that we should link the Chi we
should really blame about the teenage
pregnancy but
yeah can you tell us we should be really
blame about this
I think that those people that engage in
this kind of act would probably have a
consent
I'm not talking about the people that
were abused or forced into doing this
kind of action I'm talking about the
people that are curious about this since
they were engaging the folks at this
kind of action so they should probably
know the consequences that they would
would face if it were to happen to them
that way it is really is
sex education must be known by early
teenagers because here written here the
much less common among girls younger
than 16 so maybe when they do starts
studying like there were 13 years old
teenagers nowadays are openly minded
like even though they were just 12 years
old they already know a lot of things
about the world that's why maybe when
they do reach the stage of being a
teenager they should be taught the sex
education okay so what comes up to my
mind is that I remember one of the
sayings that is popular among Filipinos
that that's a holy what is easy
yes it really is true we can never
regret something in the first place we
should know the consequence to each and
everything that we will do yes because
if you know the consequences we won't
even do that women may be scared
really yes this action these happenings
really do have a big influence or a bad
influence to us
for both sides actually for the look for
the girl and the boy for the boy since
they were their family would have to
sustain or for the essentials that we
before the pregnancy and for the labor
as well and for the girl they would have
to care for the girl for the child and
for the woman in pregnancy
[Music]
happen
[Music]
yes
[Music]
I think it is what so-called abortion
[Music]
and I think abortion can cos can be the
cause of death of one's own
and it really is scary you know just
talking about abortion here really is
not a good thing so maybe if they do
suffer from that they should be strong
and accept what they have done
okay septic consequences
now we students should be should join
forces for us to fight poverty for us to
fight teenage pregnancy rather
there is
everything
very
[Music]
they do cigars a mild guys
operate to stop
Oh
the hands of the teachers
the region will be
our sex education solutions
[Music]
okay with all that being said we should
now I think the secretary said earlier
join forces to fight teenage pregnancy
now can you please help me and say to
each one of teenage and to our to the
Millennials that we should fight the
teenage pregnancy okay now let's go Stan
[Music]
