¨It´s not okay to be a teen mum and not know what you can offer your child¨ Kate actress insists to girls

Heavily expectant actress, Catherine Kamau became a mom at the tender age of 19 and it is not her wish to see another girl go through what she underwent, when she has a chance to help.

Speaking to girls at Kariokor Social Hall couple of weeks ago, Kate urged the girls to focus and not joke around with boys.

Society´s standards have been set so high, and no one´s experience will ever match the other´s. Kate addressed:

You look at the likes of Kylie Jenner on social media and the way they slay with the kids and think these kids are dolls. At some point, I was encouraging you that you´ll be okay. But I realized things turned out good for me cause both of my parents were working and supported my child. I came to realize all of us are not the same.

The beauty reiterated that even though hers was successful, it has never been the right thing to do. She cautions:

It´s not okay to be a teen mum and bring a child into this world, not knowing what you can offer them. Because you are a child. A boy that is in form two or one is wasting your time. Unlike us, your generation is different and things are moving so fast.

The beauty´s reasoning being:

The reason why I don´t want you to get pregnant is that if you get the pregnancy, you become responsible for someone else. Then, you become a burden to your parents.

Experience

Narrating her story, the soon-to-be mother of 2 explained that having a kid meant she had to forgo school to bring them up.

Meanwhile, her boyfriend had since taken off, leaving Kate a teen mom, unaware of what was awaiting her.

I finished high school well, then I went to Kampala to study. Two months later, I came back with a baby degree. My mum was disappointed because she had sacrificed everything. When I first told her, she was crushed. She didn´t understand. I dropped out and raised the baby and of course, the boyfriend ran away. So I was in depression. I cried every day for a whole year.

Fortunate enough, 3 years later, she returned to school and that is when her act at popular ¨Mother-in-Law¨ show made her the brand she is today.
