"This is my sister, a Form Two student. She has apparently been abusing substances. My mum broke her phone after she spent a night away from home. My cousin, a Form Four student, introduced her to substance abuse. She’s 16 years old. We don’t know where to find her everyone has been trying to guide her, but she ran away from home," read the caption by an anonymous group contributor.

She admitted it was entirely her fault and that her mother had nothing to do with her “embarrassing mistake.”
"Mum, I want to tell you something. I do not know if it is a curse or what. However, I appreciate what you have done for me. I am pregnant. I did not want to get pregnant. I am going away from your life. Mum, please forgive me. I want to go and live in Embu. I promise you will never see me again," she wrote.
She pleaded with her mother to "find somewhere in your heart to forgive me," noting that her situation had involved the police, even though it was not supposed to go that far.
Girl asks mum to keep her pregnancy 'surprise' secret
She also asked her mother to keep the information private, saying she was ashamed of her actions.
"Mum, I need your blessing. I do not know what to do, but I am going away. I do not even know where I am going to stay. Mum, I know you will feel disappointed and ask why I did so, but I am on my knees apologising to you. I am sorry for what I did and I hope this can be our secret.
I do not have much to say but thank you for everything you have done for me. Please find peace in your heart. This will be my last goodbye. I love you, and I am going to find a better life," she concluded.

What to do if teen daughter is pregnant
Details shared by raisingchildren.net indicate that it is perfectly normal for any parent to experience mixed feelings if their teenage daughter gets pregnant.
However, most teens already feel terrible after becoming pregnant, and so abandoning or admonishing them won't help improve the situation.
As a parent or guardian, it is important to listen to them without judgment and understand what they want to do and how they feel about the pregnancy.
Accompany the pregnant girl on her first antenatal visit so that a medical professional can explain to them what they need and what their choices are after getting pregnant.
Thirdly, a teen girl may not know how to keep themselves healthy during pregnancy, and so as a parent, you can guide them on the nutritious foods they should eat health and that of the baby.
Advise them on avoiding alcohol and drugs during the gestation period to ensure the baby is healthy when it is born.
