“…The adolescent enters motherhood with the consequent family and social stigmatization, implicit feelings of guilt, shame, low self-esteem and a certain impossibility of feelings, emotions, decisions and positive evaluations (Salinas, 2019). This usually happens because early motherhood is often determined by limited family support (Álvarez et al, 2015;Amar et al, 2013;Pesce et al, 2005), the absence or violent intervention of the father in the home; aspects that hinder the formation of adolescent self-regulation (Artuch et al, 2017), poverty, marginalization, low educational level, family violence and sexual ignorance (Arias & Rivera, 2021;Catacora, 2011). In contrast, some authors have identified some protective factors for early motherhood, such as good interpersonal communication, high self-esteem, having an elaborated and internalized life project, having a well-established internal locus of control, an elaborated sense of life, assistance to school and a high level of resilience (Páramo, 2011).…”
