Avoiding abortion on teenage girls



In my country as abortion is concern, it is an illegal act when carried out I try as much as possible to educate the young girls not to go for abortion no matter what.



With the socio political issues in my country each time I come in contact with pregnant young mothers I first of all have some talk with them and asking them how they become pregnant. They will give me their different reasons such as, I was rape, my parents were killed because of the problem at hand and so while struggling with my junior ones, I fall in love with a boy who got me pregnant and has abandoned me and child etc, some even come to me and asked for method of abortion which I have never taught of advising any young mother to go carry out an abortion. 



What I use to advise them is that they should have the baby and after that you go in for family planning and those that are not yet pregnant should go inn too for it. 



I give them talk about abortion which is illegal in Cameroon, biblically wrong, and as a mother I wouldn't want any of them to carry out such act and the only solution to stop them from being mothers at their young age is family planning which will help prevent pregnancy.



Most of these young mothers need a lot of advise and education  because they are ages 12_25 years and are so ignorant. 



I believe this is a way of helping the young ones from not being a young mother at her early age.
