Sex Education is Good Education!

In Africa, a good percentage of children manage to have a chance to go school but gain knowledge based on passing exams rather than applying in real life situations.

90% of teenagers and youths in Africa lack basic sex education. This is simply because our parents shy away from being real with us. They end up terming women and men to be bad people.

Well that has a very huge effect on the children as they’re brought up.

They’ll tend to think the opposite sex is hostile and end up making decisions that are gender bias.

Apart from telling the 21st century teenager to abstain, teach them on how they can understand their bodies better and how to behave around the opposite and same sex.

Telling teenagers and youths to abstain these days is next to impossible! So why not educate them on contraceptives?

Why not introduce sex education in the school curriculum?

No, am not talking about that HIV/AIDS unit most of us have done in colleges and universities!

Am talking about real talk where there’s one on one conversation with a group of youngsters, where they can express themselves freely, where they can give ideas on how to tame themselves and how to behave. This shouldn’t be examined, because we all know what we’re capable of doing for exams, yes cramming and doing everything for the sake!

 Offer knowledge on faithfulness and use of contraceptives rather than just

abstinence. Let’s ensure girls and boys are aware of their bodies, they’ll know what’s happening to them whenever and how to control their feelings and emotions when associating with different genders.

Not that people shouldn’t abstain, but that’s what we’re told all the time and it hardly works, so let’s ensure we inform everyone about everything essential!

Let’s ensure that even the small kids, are aware of these things! We might consider them as children but they know much than we expect. In these generation,children have access to almost everything! There’s no way you’ll control what they view or do, but you can take the initiative of being the better person by ensuring you teach them on the rights and wrongs. What they should adopt and what they shouldn’t. What they should desire and what they shouldn’t.

When I was in primary, the only thing the female teachers used to teach us was the use of sanitary towels! Boys and girls would be separated and all we talked about was how to use sanitary towels, well I have no idea what the boys were being told, but I think the teachers would have gone further and educate us on some basic things that we need to know. I mean, being a girl isn’t about menstration alone, they’d have made us more bold on how to report sexual cases and how to handle ourselves.

Some male teachers at times take advantage and do random things to girls and they don’t understand.

 There’s this weird handshake some males do and it’s not interesting at all. It’s annoying and irritating! Please if you do that to females, stop as from now.

In the radio today, I heard how girls under the age of 16 were being sexually abused by  close relatives and friends and I was disappointed that these still happens in 2017! I mean what does a 12 year old have to attract you?

It’s just a baby, so innocent and probably not aware of anything you’re trying to do to her, and the worse part is that, the ralatives, especially fathers, are the ones abusing their own children, in the name of Jesus, why would someone do that?

Your own flesh and blood, where do you get the courage to do that?

That’s the most inhuman thing someone can do. And I was wondering, if someone can do that to his own child, how about other people’s children?

Won’t they just kill them?

Let’s ensure that our surroundings get better than worse!

Yes, we’re human beings, we’re supposed to be evolving and getting better, but we’re acting like animals!

What happens if this continues forever?

Will children be giving their parents grandchildren or other children?

Dear Mothers,please educate your sons and husbands to be friendly to their daughters, sisters and other females. Let them respect them and the females to respect males are well.

 Ensure they’re aware of the evils in the society and how to deal with them, and protect themselves from such.

Parents should just get over it and be open minded, speaking about sex doesn’t make you immoral or anything, it’s for the love of your children and the future generations to come.

Be that change that the society needs.

Be that parent that your children will always give you a thumbs up for proper upbringing.

Be that sibling that your other siblings are proud of.

Be that friend that your friends are happy to associate with because you tell them the truth.

Let’s ensure the world doesn’t sum up to unwanted pregnancies,  and STD’s.

Start with your siblings at home, give them some basic sex education you know. Make them aware of their bodies and their surroundings.

Customer Care Doesn’t Care!

Each and everyday, we associate with different people in different angles of life. And most are the times we expect the best treatment!

Especially when you’re new to an institution, company, hotel or even the hospital.

The first people we always run to are those at the customer care desk.

We expect them to be polite and ready to help but this isn’t the  case always.

I’ve had a couple of bad days with the customer care.

There’s this time I wanted to close an account with a certain bank somewhere in Nairobi town. I walked into the banking hall and I was directed to the customer care desk for assistance. I asked for the process to follow up and close the account and I was handed a document to fill in.

I couldn’t fill the form, well apart from my name and date since I don’t recognize with financial terms.

Not being familiar with financial terms, I asked almost everything, but the lady didn’t seem to be very happy with me asking for assistance. I mean it’s your work, why can’t you kindly help out?

She gave me bad eyes and siezed me as if I was a retard, she kept on exclaiming “Gosh” and in my mind am like “What the hell”

I mean if it wasn’t for the customers, she would have been unemployed, so why wouldn’t she serve me politely?

Is it cause am small? Or was it cause I was closing the account? Or do I look broke not to be served like the rest?

Well I let her slide with that one, but I wouldn’t like to see that happen day in day out in our society. We should share the bad experiences we get so as to make others cautious of how they treat others.

It’s not like I couldn’t cause drama and scream at her or give her bad eyes, but I really wonder which College or University she went to. Cause am sure she did a related course, and I bet she wasn’t taught to “Gosh!” at clients!

Another incident happened whereby I lost my Identification Card for the second time. Oh yeah! I know you’re thinking “Gosh she’s careless!” No, am not, the first one I was robbed and the second one I happened to misplace it, well I can’t remember where.

So I went to Huduma Center, queued for the longest time possible since I wanted to use my ID to handle a couple of things, and I also heard it’s a crime to be 18 years and above without an ID.

When it was my turn, I went to the desk where I was to be served, but there’s this lady who wasn’t in my moods, she looked at me and asked, “Why are you here?”, Innocently I replied, “It’s my turn,” Well I wasn’t so kind this time due to the previous experience.

The woman started yapping saying there’s no empty desk bla bla bla, so I stood aside, and when a certain gentleman finished serving another person, I went next. The lady wouldn’t just mind her own business, she still snooped to see what I had come for. She looked at the gentleman who had taken the police abstract form and asked for it.

Then she looked at me and asked, “When did you last apply for an ID?”

“October,” I replied, she got rude and told me I couldn’t get an ID untill 3 months were over, I looked at her with disbelief, wondering what was wrong with her.

The gentleman noticed I wasn’t pleased by her treatment and explained why I coudn’t get a replacement of my ID.

I was shocked and couldn’t understand what ‘Huduma kwa wote’ meant, I mean, that’s their slogan, service to all.

I was so mad, I spoke about it for days and complained alot, I planed on how I would get revenge but seems like I can’t get rude. I had also planed on how I would go scream at the other lady who “goshed” me alot but when I got there I was calm and couldn’t do a thing.

Well I do understand customer care employees don’t get the best treatment at times, but hello! That’s your work, you have to be calm, reserved, smile all the time even when you’re not in the moods, treat everyone equally and do your work accordingly.

I have studied PR, so yes I deal with alot of rude people but hardly do I get rude, I control my anger issues and act fine even when a client is a pain in the throat. If I scream at them, I might get fired, but if they shout at me, I have nothing to lose, since nothing’s personal, am not mixing work and my personal life.

So dear customer care employees, be nice, it doesn’t cost a thing! Treat everyone equally, I mean, even when it’s a young, small person, they still deserve that respect you give others!

Am so sure those ladies wouldn’t treat a CEO somewhere the way they treated me.

Gender biaseness is another thing, just because  am female doesn’t mean am in competition with you, I just came to get served and mind my own business!

Females tend to give other females bad treatment and services, simply because they’re scared they’ll get better than them!

Ladies, we’re better than that! It’s not always about competition!

Think beyond that competition and do your work as expected!

I just wish everyone would treat everyone equally without discrimination but showing them love!

Life’s too short to be all about the competition!

The Face Of Reality!

When I was young, there’s nothing I respected and honored more than being a grown up.

I couldn’t understand how they managed to handle alot of chores and at the same time care for each and every member of the family, friends and other relatives.

To me, grown ups were supernatural beings who didn’t even fart or make  mistakes. I respected and admired their capability to handle almost everything.

When I was a teenager, I got to realize how caring and protective grown ups were, how they ensure you complete your assignments on time, ensure you don’t involve yourself with gangs and cliques around, and also ensure you sing Christmas carols every Christmas and that was never negotiable.

When I finished school and was all grown where I could accompany myself anywhere and everywhere, I got to realize the grown ups I knew back at home are different from the grown ups I don’t recognize with. They tend to pretend to be perfect and condemn everything wrong that others do, they pretend to know it all while there is some basic knowledge they lack.

They’re the loudest in public places to be recognized and be respected. They’re the fastest to judge while they do the same things.

They want to be known as powerful and respectful people, they want to boss other people’s children while they can’t handle their own kids. They want to scream and shout at others but won’t take anyone shouting at them.

They’re quick to curse while they’re the ones on the wrong!

I mean, what happened to the grown ups I grew up knowing?

Was it all up for show?

So that children don’t grow up having a negative perspective of them?

I don’t understand grown ups but they should respect youngsters too!

We do have a say and we deserve to be listened to, our opinion and views matter equally.

Don’t let a grown up out there make you feel like you’re not worth living and being yourself!

Be yourself, and focus only on the positives, ignore the negatives and live life as supposed to!

Nobody can escape adulthood, but it depends which type of an adult you are!
