A Neapolitan grandmother has just been considered the youngest grandmother in Europe. Giulia Elia is, at 29, the happy grandmother of a baby named Lucia. The baby is Anna's child, the teenage daughter of the young grandmother, who gave birth to her first child at the age of 14.
Teen pregnancies are preventable with proper sexual education, but there are always cases in which these measures fail. The young women who decide to continue with their pregnancies and be mothers can be wonderful mothers, but without a doubt they will need a great family and social support to take care of their children with economic and emotional stability and to be able to continue educating themselves.
It is a complicated situation, but with the necessary supports they and their babies can have a full and happy life.
In my environment, I have told it on occasion, there is a mother of twins, who were born when she was 16 years old. With her parents, her current partner, who is not the biological father of the children but they consider him as such since he assumed their care since they were one year old, the young woman has achieved all her dreams and her family is wonderful.
Giula explains that she did not easily admit her daughter's pregnancy, precisely because she knows from her own experience that being such a young mother is very complicated.
I would have wanted another future for my daughter because I know well how difficult it is to be a mother and teenager. Actually the story has been repeated, but I take care of my granddaughter. For me, it's like my second daughter.
It should be noted that Giulia, the youngest grandmother registered in EuropeHe was only 15 years old when his daughter Anna, Lucia's mother, was born. Currently, mother, daughter and granddaughter live together at the family home. The father of the young Lucia, an 18-year-old boy, also settled with them, to take care of her daughter when she left class, although the mother has temporarily left school to take care of the baby at these times that she needs her permanently to his side.
