¨Stop telling young girls it´s okay when they fall pregnant! It is not!¨ Kate actress cries out

Actress Catherine Kamau is on a public rant to ensure young girls are talked out of early teenage pregnancies.

She was a mother at 19, unaware of what was about to unfold but she is here. Grown through it and outgrown it all. Now she has learnt her lessons.

The pregnant actress has come out public to discourage young girls from being lured into early teenage pregnancies because she feels it is still not their time.

Post

In an long online post, she condemns individuals busy advocating for early sexual affairs that eventually lead into pregnancies that weigh down on the young mothers.

Adding that because a young mother succeeded, doesn´t mean, you will too. We are all from diverse backgrounds and things will not always work out the same.

Can we stop telling young girls it´s okay when they fall pregnant ! Because it´s not ! And it´s going to be extremely hard. Just because the person you look up to made it doesn´t mean you will, we are different and we come from different backgrounds.

Kate additionally points out that the minute you hold the little one in your life, that is it. They will grab your focus, energy and resources fully.

The stunning actress reiterated that even when you think that man will stick by you, it will only take a short while before he walks away and leaves you depressed.

Think about your parents who are sacrificing everything for you ????.. If you are already there, please learn from it, and be rest assured your life will never be the same, it´s not about you anymore ! That baby is your life now! If you are thinking about getting pregnant to keep a man who will disgrace you (i promise you) he will in a few months.

What pains her most is, despite the living examples young girls of today have, they still indulge in sexual activities that see them go through a lot of pain and agony. Just because they did not listen.

This Teenage / Early pregnancy epidemic just breaks my heart????… They have so many people to learn from , so much information, The DMs and messages just make me angry sometimes. What is to be Done ? Haven’t we told our stories enough ! Do you agree with my post this morning . THE NARRATIVE HAS TO CHANGE ! ITS NOT OKAY YOUNG QUEEN ! WAIT !!!

Her partying shot is a plea to the current young queens to secure a future first then the rest will follow.

Reactions

Fans and followers, male and female, come out strong to air their own similar sides of the story and cry out to young girls, to just listen.

I wish I read this 2yeard back????.

 

Why not tell Young Men to. Kumea Ndevu Kidogo Sio Kuwa Mwanaume. Kuvaa Longi na Shati na Tai Kubwa still. Haujapita exam ya kuwa a Man.

 

Dont stigmatise and shame the young women let us deal with the men and boys who impregnate them let us train our boys to respect girls understand consent and the consrquences of unintended pregnancies call out men who forces girls to sleep with them for marks jobs rent phones n bundles and let us have cse in schools.

 

Thanks so much for this, I promised myself that I will not go with society age I will walk with my own pace. Society wants you to get married/child at a particular age, and for that stupid reason 90% of my friends (agemates) have kids and they are single mums. They are still struggling to make ends meet. And I still can’t believe that in 2019 the same friends huniangalia zile za “kwani hauzai?”. It’s sickening, imagine some of my close relatives thinks i am barren just because I don’t have a kid yet!! The only reason I went through high school n campus n escaped pregnancy is because I was so cautious not because I am barren. Na mimi hujiambia I will plan to get a kid when I am ready to have one, no accidents, no surprises, may God walk with me ????????

 

Sometimes iwish life gave me a second chance but again kids are a blessing i get angry and annoyed everytimes i see young girls walking around soo happy with belly its not right its wrong i had a kid wen i was so young sometimes naskianga kuchapa mtu kwa barabara ,motherhood is a sacrifice,its hard it takes your energy girls wait there is time for everything take a step at a time.

 

One lady called us a few days back about this. Really felt for her and what responsibilities she has right now. It breaks our ???? to see the pain that most women go through after this. Not knowing the consequences that this has.

I tell my small sisters even marriage itself doesn’t guarantee that having a child you will get 100% support from your hubby;the lady needs to be mentally,physically and financially prepared for a child ama postpartum depression will kick it.
This is so true. It breaks my heart as well. Some of our stories ended well just because of Gods Grace but I know many who have been in my situation for whom the story has been much worse. I wish people knew how much of a responsibility children are and how much they change your life. I always say my son is not a mistake – he is a blessing born of a mistake. But sis – if you’re out there reading this, don’t make a mistake and hope for blessings because it doesn’t always turn out rosy!
This are the words i wish someone told then…aint regreting having my boy whos now 10 yrs…❤️❤️..but its never easy i never enjoyed my youth..i sacrificed my youth life to impress someone who never appreciated anything..i said no to an abusive marriage and here i am now a single mum…i learned from my mistakes..But girls everything has its own time…motherhood aint an easy journey…moreso when you are in it alone
???????????? don’t even remind me of my experience. Wheew
