When i was a teen, i worried about a lot of things. I was scared not to let go of some part of me, anytime i remember my mother's sound of warning about how being irresponsible would cost me my destiny and my father's voice always echoed, i always respect my old age and stayed back, i watched my mates have fun and i missed lot of that. Most of what our teens become today are what we lid down for them. Our parents don't even have time to chit chat with their kids. Some parents with only female kids over protect the girls. Now, over protection is not what we need. It is not what brings wisdom. Its rare to find a 15yr old virgin today, why? Ask your mother. Ask the society. Ask yourself.
Most parents are still teens in themselves, they have little ideas of what their kids are passing through. Can a 13yr old girl who has slept with 15 different men make the evening news? No! we take a lot of other irrelevant things too serious and destroy our future (teens) along the way all in the name of "putting food on the table"
Its high time parents sat with their kids and gist with them. Do you agree with me that yo can't scold teens of today! Now, do not forget even some kids that have privilege of being very close with their parent fall victim of what is happening, but they would be able to handle it because they are aware. I call this INFOWIS- wisdom can not be applied if you do not have the right information to tackle this situation!
Compare these category of teens with those that don't even know the difference between PENIS and BALLS!
Meanwhile, there is nothing impossible for God to do. Train your children in a Godly way, but do not cage them, you know how a lion feeds when he's been denied of freedom for days? Let them have male friends, let them go see the latest movie, at the same time, motivate them, talk to them, pray with them and pry for them
IT IS NOT EASY LET'S KEEP PRAYING FOR THIS GENERATION! REMEMBER YOUR SWEAT TODAY IS THEIR CAPITAL TOMORROW!!!
