I didn't know that it was possible to be married in a young age. I am sad to learn

that a lot of children are forced to live the life of a grown adult. But I am happy because from now on it is no longer allowed to be married on a young age. I am happy that there are no longer children that will suffer. :)

I feel sad for the childrens that got married at the young age and getting their big responsibilities as family, they get pregnant at the same time. They don't have enough money to buy much necessary things that they need but now, I am very thankful that they made a law that not allowing minor childrens to get married.

Lets me understand more about teenage pregnancy, it shows that early marriage also causes teenage pregnancy and also causes the dropping out of the affected person/child. It also explains very well that not EVERY married minor isnt happy with the marriage because as said by the individual in the documentary she actually chooses to be married at a young age. I felt sadness because there is a big possibility that these people that are going through or is in a process of early marriage is not gonna have a nice or stable future this isnt for everyone since some people that got into an early marriage might have a nice future and thats it.

I feel sad for those children who are forced to get married at such a you age just because of their traditions and culture, and because of that they were not able to do things that they supposedly be doing at their age. But the new law about against child marriage made me happy.

I feel really sad for the kids who got married at a young age, and at first, I really didn't like the chief of the tribe for allowing children to get married and face big problems and responsibilities early in their life, resulting in issues in their education like bullying and discrimination due to their marital or parental status. I'm really happy that the government stopped this and approved the RA 11596 law.

It was really unexpected that there are children at a young age that get married and the worst thing is that someone force them. Some of them literally want to do something good and it is for their own sake but since it's part of their culture, they don't have a choice. RA 11596 really help those people and this teaches us also to think carefully our decisions. In addition to that, ask for a guide from elder people like our parents, guardians and etc.

After watching the documentary, I felt really sad, but at the same time, I learned a lot. I felt sad that, at the ages of 14–19, they are already starting a big family and taking on a lot of responsibilities as parents or as a married couple. I feel bad when some of them stop attending school because they already have families and because in school they are getting bullied. It's just sad that their tribe normalized getting married at a young age. Marriage is not a solution for being bored since, as they said, they only do a few things in their community because it's hard to go to school. They should've worked instead of getting married so that they would have enough money for their daily lives. But now I'm happy because at least child marriage will be stopped, and the children will learn a lot more if they go to school or if their parents teach them. As they say, it's not too late to achieve your dreams.

My thoughts for the documentary was that it has great quality of documenting and has a unique topic. I'm quite sad for the children who experiences early marriage for most of them leads to regret. The roots of this early marriage that was presented in the video were boredom, location and cultures of their tribes. I would say that this child marriage is quite unacceptable because of its causes and for me, they need to stop this because even though we must respect the traditions and cultures of the tribe, they must atleast respect their own boundaries and limitations. I'm glad for the implementation of the Republic Act 11596 because there will only be a few children that will experience being married at a young age.

After watching this documentary I feel very sad to those teenage that got pregnant early , and I realized that being pregnant at a young age is causing a chance to die .

In conclusion teenage pregnancy is needed to be prevented by the authority and the people.
