Family Planning

  FAMILY planning is a way of thinking or living adopted voluntarily based on knowledge,attitude and responsible decisions by individuals and couples in order to promote the health and welfare of the family group and thus contribute effectively to the development of a country. Raising a child requires sufficient amount of resources; time,social, financial and environmental. Planning can help assure that these resources are available whenever pregnancy is wanted.
  I think family planning begins at puberty (yea na so I talk am oo)! All of those things we were taught about male and female hormones and physical changes make up the process. Family planning involves our thought patterns which is affected by what we learn to be good or bad. This is why sex education is very important. About 16million girls aged 15-19 and some 1million girls under 15 give birth every year most in low- and middle- income countries. My point here is a this, sex education is a vital part of family planning. Enlightening teenagers about a positive sexual life is the foundation for planning a family. Its not just about the number of kids one should have and how they should be spaced. Its about our thoughts and attitudes and how it affects the family we raise. So if we get our teens and young persons to think right about the family unit, we've actually got them planning. If we can help them develop the right attitude about their sexuality and reproduction, we are securing their future and they would think about family planning in a good light.
SO it's not just about the devices and natural methods we teach individuals and couples, it has to do with listening to our children at home and in school and grooming them to think positively. So what happens to the about 17 million underaged girls with unplanned issues? 

LIFE is so beautiful. Even though there are challenges to be won,every ovum is expectant and hopeful that it will someday become a foetus after a fusion with the other gamete. Reproduction is very beautiful. It is however painful that a lot of persons go through series of troubles in the process of having a child of their own. While some are trouping into our hospitals to learn about the available family planning methods,others would want to gain more knowledge concerning IVF.

They need;
• Our support
• Sex education and family planning
• Counselling encouragement and prayers
• Cases of sexual abuse needs to be addressed also
IN conclusion, whenever I get the opportunity to speak with young girls my age and adolescents, whether victims unwanted pregnancy or not, I let them know that they are the Lord's vessels and should stay pure for his use.
