Haiti Teen Pregnancy - A Young Woman Gets Pregnant, She had to Quit School Because...

Teen Pregnancy in Haiti

KREYOL: Haiti - Zafè fè Pitit... Gen yon jenn demwazèl 18 ans ki ansent, poutèt sa, li paka ale lekòl ankò... L ap pèdi rès ane lekòl la, li sanlè pa janm ale lekol ankò... QUESTION: Ki mezi ki an plas nen system education Haiti a ki la pou kore yon jenn demwazèl nan ka saa??? Kisa ou panse de sa???

First of all... If I understand her mother's arguments correctly, her pregnant teenager is not allowed to continue her education while she is pregnant. Mom did not specify if it was school rules or if it's her teachers who refused her attendance in the class room.

Marie can go back after her pregnancy, her mother said but not while she is pregnant. That of course means whe will loose the rest of the school hear and next year because she will be nursing.

Second reason: This young woman is being teased by her classmates because she got pregnant. "students came all the way to my house to tease her," her mother told me.

QUESTION: Is there any support system in place in Haiti for a young woman who finds herself pregnant in the middle of a school year?

Let's talk about this... If you have any personal experiences please share...

What do you think about this???
