Already, Daria is gaining tremendous interest in Snapchat, Twitter and other social networks as she takes short videos and shares them with the sheer amount of followers she follows. In addition, to further track her, she includes in all her publications the hashtag 'Pregnant at 13', in order to target the users following her with a catchy and familiar link.
Recall that the story of Daria, who lives in the Siberian town of Jeliznogorsk, became the talk of the day in Russia when doctors confirmed that she was indeed pregnant.
Daria's mother, Elena, said: "At first we thought her stomach was sore because of gastric poisoning. But the tests and the positive result she got put us on the market. However, I don't convince her to drop because I fear it will hurt her ability to bring more children into the world later." Meanwhile, the mother is dealing with cancer herself, but says "I am struggling and I will recover from my illness to help Daria raise her child."
