Girls are at greater risk of unplanned pregnancies as they seek their identity through validation through relationships. It is not uncommon for individuals at this stage to be vulnerable and seek self-seeking relationships in search of validation and identity. When one does not have a good sense of their identity, they seek their relevance from significant others particularly the opposite sex. Vicky, seeking identity and validation had this to say; “I always struggled with my identity, never felt loved at home, therefore chose love in all the wrong places, in search of filling a void in ME. Press on and live a fruitful life in the knowledge that God loves you, knows you by name and is cheering you on.
