There was a hype again going on in the online forum in Hong Kong about a 14 year old blogging about her pregnancy and posting her pregnant photo on her blog. I was trying to find the blog but obviously, it must have been deleted or something. When you have a 14 year old daughter, it is really worrying to read this kind of news going around....And not so long ago, a 13 year old boy from UK became the world's youngest father! The news became coverpage news and had many people around the world including me thinking if the world has gone crazy. Why the hell did the newspaper even have to publish this kind of news? I am sure some younsters out there will be thinking that they want to win that boy to be the next youngest father or something. The media is creating this teenage pregnancy problem into a kind of trend like fashion...
I think it all started when Japan produced this drama about this junior high school girl who got pregnant with her boyfriend's child. "14-sai no Haha" which literally mean "14-year-old mother" showed how this young girl struggled with the fact of her pregnacy and then decided to keep her baby and even raise the child by herself. I think it was a true-story made into drama with all the usual dramatic elements added in to capture audiences. Many viewers were touched by the courage of the young girl and her maternal love for her child....
Now, we have this 14 year old pregnant girl in Hong Kong openly expressing her feelings about her pregnancy on her blog. *sigh*
