TEEN MOM SERIES 1 - MEET BEAUTY QUEEN DEBRA LOUW

Hello I am Debra Louw . I am 17 . I fell pregnant at the age of 16 and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Khai Mahalia Louw. We get thought that babies before marriage is wrong and I won't lie i was against teenage pregnancy until it actually happened to me.

It hit me hard that i had to grow up now and actually work on myself to not only be a good mom but to be a great role model , cause obviously i don't want my daughter be depressed over these categories we're being put in but to know herself & her worth & that non of this should phase her.

I grew up without a father which was very tough cause everybody needs that love from both parents. Even though my mom played both roles we all know a father does things a little different then a mom in one way or another but my mom is my hero and I thank her for all that i am today and i want to inspire my daughter the way my mom inspired/s me.

And also to other teen moms out there don't be ashamed cause no-one got you the way you child does , your baby is for you and you is for your baby, that love don't fade.

We at African Teen Vogue love you and your beautiful daughter and keep winning Queen 👸💘 .

"Meet Sultana Nazif"

My name is Sultana Nazif, I am 17 years old. I was born in December (best month of the year) I loveee reading books and am also a planner I always like to be organised. The apps on my phone are arranged from darker colours to lighter colours. I am studying to become an Engineer InshaAllah. I have six younger siblings I hate when things don’t go my way and i like being in control. I try my best to be nice to everyone I also love listening to music I am so Indecisive 😂. I think African teenagers nowadays are very diverse with their sense of style and fashion statements, both girls and boys!

Do you and stay true to you because there are gonna be haters anyway🤪

What Do Older Generations Misunderstand About Teenagers Today?

What stereotypes about teenagers do the adults you know seem to hold? How does the media portray people your age — and what, in your opinion, do they get wrong? What do you wish you could explain to adults in general to dispel some of these beliefs? In “ Taking Away the Phones Won’t Solve Our Teenagers’ Problems ,” a psychology professor writes about rising levels of anxiety and stress: Teenagers are struggling with anxiety more than any other problem, and perhaps more than ever before. There’s a good chance that it is anxiety that is driving teenagers (and the rest of us) to escape into screens as a way to flee fears. Across most types of anxiety runs a common thread — difficulty coping with feelings of uncertainty: something today’s teenagers have more than their fair share of. They have uncertain economic lives: Unlike previous generations, they can anticipate a worse economic future than their parents. They’ve also grown up with uncertain truths and unre

"Meet Beauty Queen Imani Shagari"

I’m Imani Shagari , a student reading Architecture and I’m one of twenty other children. Coming from a big family has shown me how important supporting other people can be to their growth. I constantly live by the quote “Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.” It motivates me to help and support people without feeling afraid or threatened by their growth. Instead it helps me to see the best in people and that everyone has their own gifts , we just need each other to help show those gifts. As a young black girl, I would encourage other girls just like me to love themselves and also believe that they are beautiful without the beauty standards set up by society and social media.
