Did you all know that Less than 2% of teen moms earn a college degree by age 30? Roughly 229,715 teens between 15 and 19 became pregnant in 2015. Latinas have the highest teen-pregnancy rate of any group. The birth rate (per 1,000 girls) for white teens in California is nine, compared to a rate of 29 for Latina teens. As I mentioned though, the rates for teen pregnancies in our community is drastically decreasing and I think a large part of this is due to the openness and education that we are sharing as generations go by. In this episode, I go into what it was like to confront my ex's family, being in college with a son, what my schedule looked like, my dreams and wishes as a 20-year old, how I was stigmatized as a teen mom, and I give advice to parents who have teen mom daughters. There is often control because of their age, but I talk about the disservice and identity formation that is occurring.

Since 2007, the teen birth rate has declined by 58% for Latinx, compared with declines of 53% for African Americans and 47% for Caucasians. In this solo episode, I share my personal experience with getting pregnant at age 19 and becoming a single mother during my undergraduate schooling in Santa Barbara, CA. I discuss general and personal mental health effects, cultural beliefs and common mentalities that Latinx teens and their parents experience.  I also explore the barriers to sex education, such as family beliefs, shame, and Catholicism. I provide advice to young girls, parents and therapists. Next time I will continue with my story and talk about the collectivistic views with family postpartum  adjustment and the high status that is achieved with childbearing in the Latinx culture.  Resources: Teen Line https://teenlineonline.org/ : 310-855-4673, or text TEEN to 839863 Birth Control Methods: https://mydoctor.kaiserpermanente.org/ncal/structured-content/#/Health_Topic_Birth_Control_Choosing_a_Method.xml Tool- Find the Right Method That Works for You: https://mydoctor.kaiserpermanente.org/ncal/birthcontrol/#/  Find Various Program for Parents & Teens:  https://www.childwelfare.gov/topics/preventing/promoting/parenting/pregnant-teens/  WIC in CA for Free formula, diapers, healthy food, lactating classes & more: https://wicforfamilies.org/  Statistics were referenced from: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr67/nvsr67_01.pdf Kost K, et al.

In this episode, she talks to us about her realities of identifying as AfroLatinx, and looking more of African descent than Latinx, a struggle often society is too afraid to bring up, but is much too common. There is a saying \"no soy de aqui, ni soy de alla\" that refers to: I'm neither from here, nor there.  She opens up about the discrimination she has faced due to her skin color, and the mental health effects of racism and colorism. We also go into the mentality that the Latinx race must be \"improved\" by dating someone of a lighter skin complexion. She provides us with the unique perspective of the insecurities of being AfroLatinx as a mental health professional. Jersey ends the segment by providing a beautiful message to anyone that is feeling split between two identities.

Este tema se ha solicitado desde que comenzó el podcast, así que me alegro de que se haya ofrecido Renato Pérez a tener esta conversación. Habrá muchos más temas relacionados con la comunidad LGBTQIA+ en otros episodios y futuras temporadas.  El machismo y el identificarse como LGBTQ es un tema importante porque en nuestra cultura, el machismo forma parte de la raíz de la homofobia. El machismo es tóxico y un tipo de masculinidad tradicional que generalmente está influenciado por 4 factores: 1- los hombres no deben ser femeninos; 2- los hombres deben ser respetados y admirados; 3- los hombres nunca deberían mostrar miedo; y 4- los hombres deberían buscar el riesgo y la aventura. Nuestro invitado es Renato Pérez, trabajador social clínico con licencia en Los Ángeles, California.

The academic term for a child translating for a parent is \"language brokering\" so you will hear us refer to that in this segment. We also mentioned that children take on a \"parentified\" role, meaning where a child takes the role and responsibilities of an adult. In this segment, I talked with Lisette Sanchez, about the psychological and emotional effects of parents and children when this cultural value of translating out of necessity is used, such as the tendency of wanting to please parents but also a parent's frustration and shame. We explored how to support young translators and also parents, along with discussing inappropriate settings where children should not be translating.
