SINGAPORE – Despite her mother’s vehement objections and her former partner’s indifference to her pregnancy, Sarah dropped out of school at Secondary 3 and became a mum at the age of 15.
Sarah (not her real name), whose baby daughter is now 11 months old, said: “I considered abortion at first, but when I saw my baby on the ultrasound, I felt a very strong connection to her.”
The 16-year-old added: “I feel the baby is innocent. I wanted to step up and take responsibility for the mistake I made.”
