The rate of teenage girls giving birth during the KCPE exams period is alarming. This is not unique to 2018 but it is repeated every year. The big question is on whether there exists a relationship between examinations period and teenage girls giving birth which is not yet established. The issue and the hype created every year about girls giving birth during exams period is only that there is high publicity and heavy media presence around the time.
Summary
Several people have that one thing they did or still do after seeing it or reading it in a material somewhere. The company we keep also influences us in several ways including what we read.
Unfortunately, in the current era of technology, most parents do not have much control over what children read on the internet and across social media. Parents however, should take an initiative to try and control the company and the materials their children get exposed to.

The struggle was real. Our hope was cut short by a teenage pregnancy.
This motivated me to write to my dear little sisters to ensure none of them falls into the same trap. I thought and still believe that putting the story in writing would help me reach more girls worldwide.
To Celebrate the International Day of the Girl Child on 11/10/2018, Dear Little Sister Foundation is giving out 5 free
copies of the Dear Little Sister Book and a Back to School Shopping Voucher worth sh.2000 to a High School Girl from any County in Kenya.
