She was forced to drop out of school – like her mother before her.Xhute ’s mother also started having children when she wasvery young. She gave birth to Xhute when she was only 16 years old.Without an education, Xhute is vulnerable to repeating her mother ’s fate. She will be less able to find decent work and is more likely to become a teen mother herself.
