ABOUT A MALEZHEN CHOOKATAYONCHITTIKANEMANUELA

SYNOPSIS

This story board has been designed to raise awareness about teenage pregnancy. It is about a young guy who acts cool to fit in; however, the constant burden of physical abuse by the elder brother keeps coming back through flashbacks…

There is only one distraction, which is social media. Through social media, he meets a girl that for a time being manages to take his mind of his family problems. Indeed as an immature teenager, who doesn’t think about consequences of his actions, he takes advantage of every opportunity, not realising that he is the father of an un-born baby.
