Maneerat got pregnant with her first child when she was only 17. As a result, she did not complete her education and was pushed into adulthood when she was not ready.

 

Her unplanned pregnancy has changed her life forever. Looking back, there was also mounting pressure that pushed her to this turning point.

My granddaughters high school has been doing a lot more work to give teens realistic practcal valuable information with good diagrams and with good focus on how/when pregnancy occurs. 

 

Talks for girls - F presenter), for boys - M presenter and mixed groups - M&F presenters. All mid/ late twenties, young doctors, med. students and snr. nurses. No eachers from the school.

Granddaughter has menioned, less than 1 minute into the talk 'any questions', and presenter carefuly approaches a student and says 'I think you have a question, what's on your mind? etc., to get the students thinking and talking. In one mixed lesson mixed stduents M&F 2 presenters M&F showed rhe correct way to use a condon.

Three lessons, same presenters talked about:

-Costs/issues/problems of students having babies.

-Boys must provide help, they are equally responsible to tke care of the baby etc.  

-Where to find help and advice. Talking to parents.

-For both boys and girls 'How to say NO'

-Human respect etc. 

Teach the girls about ovulation day... and the boys to respect it when girls say it's the wrong time.
