IANNAH’S HOUSE

IANNAH: Mommy pwede ba ako sumama mag swimming sa mga kaklase ko:

YESHIA: Naku anak tigilan mo ako sa mga gala gala na y an ha! Ang dami pang
gagawin dito sa bahay, tulungan mo muna ako at ikaw muna ang magbantay sa
tindahan.

IANNAH: Palagi na lang ako hindi nakakasama sa kanila, naiinggit na ako sa mga
lakad nila.

LYAN: Kung gusto mo gumala ng gumala tumigil ka na sa pag aaral mo. Ang
babata niyo pa gusto niyo kayo na ang masunod. May panahon para diyan sa mga
lakad na ganyan.

IANNAH: (padabog na pumasok sa kuwarto at tinawagan sa phone si Jeero)

Jeero magtanan na lang tayo nagsasawa na ako sa mga sermon at
paghihigpit nila mommy at daddy.

JEERO: Ako din, lagi na lang napapagalitan. Lagi ako kino compare sa kapatid ko
na masipag mag aral at ako daw puro laro at paglalakwatsa lang ang ginagawa.
Buti pa nga umalis na tayo para maging malaya na tayo sa mga gusto natin gawin.

(Jeero at Iannah nagtanan at ng umuwi sa bahay nila Jeero)

JHEA: Naku Kyle andito na sila Jeero at Iannah. Anong ginawa niyong 2, saan
kayo nagpunta? Galit nag alit ang parents mo Iannah. Sobrang bata niyo pa para
isipin ang ganyan.

KYLE: maupo kayo mga anak. Wala na kaming magagawa andiyan nayan. Pero
sana inisip niyo ang mga consequences na mangyayari sa ginawa niyo na yan.
Paano kung mabuntis ka agad Iannah, sobrang bata niyo pa. Kaya niyo na bang
maging magulang.

JEERO: Daddy, Mommy….buntis nap o si Iannah. Ano po gagawin namin?

JHEA: Yan na nga ang kinakatakot ko, hindi kayo nakinig sa mga payo namin.
Unahin ang pag aaral, wag mag lakwatsa at makipagrelasyon ng maaga. Ano pa
magagawa natin andiyan na yan. Ang tanong paano tatanggapin ng magulang mo
yan Iannah.

NARRATOR: Wala na ngang nagawa ang pamilya ng bawat isa kundi tanggapin
ang sitwasyon nila Jeero at Iannah. At sa galit ng pamilya ni Iannah ay hindi sila
tinanggap sa bahay. Pero nagbigay ng tulong pero hindi kalakihan dahil may mga
nag aaral pang kapatid sa college si Iannah

Pagod na din ako.

Narrator:((KRISTEN)
Teenagers may not be emotionally mature enough to handle the challenges of
marriage and parenthood. This can lead to stress, anxiety, and relationship issues.

Here are the Other consequencess about early marriage and early pregnancies are:
1.Increased Likelihood of Divorce: Early marriages have a higher risk of ending in
divorce. Lack of maturity, financial stress, and the strain of parenting at a young
age contribute to the vulnerability of the marriage.

2. Impact on Child Development: Children born to teenage parents may face

challenges in terms of emotional and cognitive development. Young parents may
struggle with parenting skills, impacting the overall well-being of the child.
3. Social Stigma: Teenage parents often face societal judgment and stigma, which
can affect their self-esteem and mental health. This can lead to feelings of shame
and isolation.

4. Limited Personal Growth: Early marriage and parenting may limit a teenager's
opportunities for personal growth and self-discovery. It can be challenging to
pursue personal goals and aspirations while managing the responsibilities of a
family.

It's important to note that while these consequences are common, individual
experiences can vary, and support systems, access to resources, and personal
resilience can play crucial roles in mitigating some of these challenges. Providing
comprehensive sex education and support systems can contribute to helping
teenagers make informed choices and navigate the complexities of relationships
and family planning.
