“When do you think is the right age for marriage or sex?” 

“I think when you are 25 or 26, and I do want a husband in the future to help take care of my baby. I was 16 when I had her, the guy left when he found out I am pregnant. 

I don’t want the same to happen with my daughter in the future, I have many classmates who are like me, we don’t know about safe sex or how it happens. I trusted my boyfriend as he took care of me. I regret it now as I know better, but I’m happy I have her”.
