Teenage girls give birth during National Examinations (KCSE)

National Examination in kenya has always been taken as a serious exercise. Candidates started their KCSE. Some teenage girls have so far given birth in different counties during the exercise.

There is this one who got caught up in labour in the exam room. She was rushed to hospital. The girls are still doing their exams as long as one is capable.

For those who are have more complications, the government has assured them that they will still be given the examinations the moment they are fine.

From this, we can guess what the long holiday that was brought about by the pandemic caused. This births are outcome of the long holiday experienced.

The government in conjunction with the Ministry of Education has made sure that all this girls are seating for their examinations. The hospitals where these girls are admitted have isolated a room for the purpose of examinations.

During the long holiday, counties recorded high number of girls who got pregnant. See this. Let’s protect our teenage girls from early pregnancy. See how.

This comes after the government has announced high number of teenagers who have been infected with HIV during the school holidays.

Online classes are back: Schools closed

It’s one week since the closure of schools. Our teenagers must be kept busy to make better use of the energy they have. For those in town, there is no land to till unlike the country side teenagers. No forest to send them to look after cattle. Lockdown locks them just inside the house. It is high time they get enrolled in online classes.

The girls who went missing

The stay at home for school going children has brought a big problem to teenagers’ parents. No matter how much they try to keep them safe, it becomes difficult as most of the time parents are out to make ends meet to better their families.

Teenagers are taking advantage of the situation. They are having enough time to do what they like most.

The worst comes with the use of cellphones which are used to make all the plans. To make it worse, the use of social media where these kids find people who are ready to prey on them. Without their knowledge, they find themselves in awkward situations which sometimes became very difficult to come out of.

Dating sites, nude pictures, drug use and other vices are introduced to them through the social groups. They do it too well that by the end of some chats, the kid is lured to all the evil plans.

I don’t demonize the social media, these phones are used for important communication too, like teachers do communicate through the class WhatsApp groups. Assignments, and online classes are done using the same.

The question is, how and where do we draw the line?

Six teenage girls in Nairobi were not spared either. They had been missing for about a week until yesterday when they were found.

As much as our girls are not innocent, they are still minors and those who are taking advantage on them should be brought to book!

Let’s protect the girl child!
