During the folk history of El Salvador it is well known that girls between the ages of 12-17 years get pregnant, sometimes live together with a man or become single mothers and then they have to work and raise their child or children at the same time. Only in year 2014, a research by the CONNA( onsejo Nacional de la Niñez y la Adolescencia) Found that 23,573 girls were pregnant and living with a man, married or in informal union because of pregnancy, this research specifies that the ages of these girls are between 12-17. This is alarming considering the population of the country. This situation is the result of the lack of education this people has. Since the majority of the country lives under the line of poverty, this people have the mentality that children will give them chances of getting out of their situation, although, sometimes pregnancy might also happen because of sexual abuse and the indaquate laws we have when it comes to abortion and birth control. This situation is without any doubt deplorable and shows what a lack of morality, culture and education our country has, from the goverment to the poorest ones, this country has a lot to change. No doubt we have this kind of situation as part of our folk history, lack of education explains it all.
