Recently I met a young girl who narrated her experience with me.
She left for the higher institution and fell among bad friends
who engage in pre-marital sex, she confess that she began as a
small innocent little girl in her local church. No sooner than
she attained the age of puberty the problem of sex sets in with
even her male age group or men fit to be her father.
Most of our teenagers today are beautiful and admirable, but
with the loose ideas about illicit sex today, this is slowly and
steadily destroying them, I have also seen instances where a
teen girl fell a victim to sampling by her classmates and adults
and how I met an unwelcoming sight- piles of contraceptives, in
her school bag, this even make it more unbearable, what idea of
illicit sex do we have among our teenagers. This is the age of
sex promiscuity, perversion and pills and I have no guarantee
that the society is doing anything to even help the situation.
Walking on any of our streets in the cities as today, you can
hardly walk from one end of the street to another without you
see signs of immorality. Our fashion experts daily create show
that encourages it, in fact fashionable creations are made to
hold and entice their victims, through the literature, magazine
they patronize, film they watch and many more tempting
television programmes that they feed their eyes and mind with.
A visit to major schools will shock you on how sexual
experimentation, exploration and promiscuity have become the
trend. Thank God for Godly parents who will never stop praying
for their children and telling their daughters and sons not to
be part of it.
Charity, they say begins at home, this is the period for parents
to be directly in charge of the upbringing of their children, it
requires them educating, and instilling discipline, leaving the
upbringing of their children to house-helps, nannies, or even to
the society is a disaster. Importantly they should leave by
examples, as a good role models for them.
How can we re-state the law of sex to these teenagers’
communities, knowing fully well the stage of puberty is the most
challenging period in their life time? You can be a source of
help to them even if you aren’t a parent now, but as a brother
and sister that they can confined in. Don’t say there is nothing
you can do to help the situation; there are things you can do to
save them.
I understand that teenagers that have parents with low
educational requirement or achievement, or those that are
product of broken homes are at a higher risk of sexual
promiscuity, but I have also seen people in this category that
have become icons, all because they did not allow their
predicament to pull them down, So what am say is that, whether
you are a product of a broken home, or raised by a single
parent, you can decide not to be a party to illicit sex.
Another issue of discuss is that most teenagers are negatively
influence by the peer groups, social norms and the pressure to
have sex. Everybody should be a facilitator, proper education
and information and counseling is necessary to supplement
parental responsibilities and there is a need for follow up
I believe that lack of communication is inevitably compromises
this problem; at Lola foundation we are committed to bridge the
gap. we are not reluctant to discuss sexuality and other
important issues openly, because we have realized that the
consequence of not properly educating the teenagers will only
make them to find answers to sex-related questions on their own
from contaminated sources that are likely to give them wrong
answers. Learning the truth about sex is much better than
learning false info from peers.
while growing up, I noted that the road was not easy since
youthful problems kept coming my way but my mother was always on
the lookout so that when peer pressure is taking the upper hand
in my life, she could knelt and prayed with me until I was
recovered. Let this also be the testimony of those teenagers who
are already given up to base mind. @ LOLAFOUNDATION
