It is the desire of every teenager to be treated with respect as a young adult, but due to distractions in the society, teenagers might not behave as they should.Therefore, they might be seen as being irresponsible.
This notion can lead to more havoc that will create a long line of neglection by adults forcing the teenager to making wrong decisions.
As the young people's person, I have decided to profer solutions to the challenges that they face.
I will tackle issues on regularly:
- Self-discovery
- Communication with parents and friends
- Career choice
- Choice of school
- Sex &
- Social networking
I was @ one of the leading secondary schools in Nigeria, to encourage the students and a young lady walked up to me.She said, she was in a fix on deciding whether to start A levels before graduating from secondary school.She felt that she will be behind her mates if she travels after graduating from school,because she will have to do Alevels for 2years in the Uk, before entering the university.Therefore, she thinks her mate will be ahead of her by 2years. I advised her appropriately and she was happy.
This is just an example of what young people face and they don't really discuss it with their parents, teachers and guardians, due to so many factors.
I implore you to encourage every teenager to add me on any of these social networks( Facebook,twitter,bbm).I would be very pleased to attend to their issues.
The child you know today, might be the president tomorrow.Therefore, invest in a child.

Reaching Out
Everyday, I think on how to make the lives of people better.I know I cannot influence everyone, neither can I be everywhere, but I know that by sharing this message with you,lives will be touched positively.
A young lady told me how she has been battling with masturbation since childhood.She said that, a female friend of hers used to teach her when they were young.
She knows that masturbation is wrong, but she can't just stop.She is trying to move onto the next level of her, but she is facing challenges and she thinks that God is using the challenges to punish her for masturbating.
She could not talk to her mum, because her mum is always shouting and she is not close to her elder sister.
Our parents trained us the best way they could at that time, but to some of us, the training was too harsh.We could not interact freely with our parents.We looked for refuge outside, either in books, music, movies, alcohol, cigarettes, cocaine, clubbing, sex, etc. At the end of the day, we could not wait to leave the house.
This has led some of us into making wrong decisions that we regret today.You need to be careful not to make the same mistake your parents made.
Therefore:
- Discover your self
- Stand for what is right
- Don't be pressurized into making any decision especially in marriage (think carefully)
- Make up your mind to learn on how to be a good parent ( read books,attend seminars on parenting, etc)
- Speak positive words to your children
- Let them know that you :
A) Love them
B) Believe in them
C) Appreciate them
D) See the best in them
- Create time to spend with your children
- Hug them regularly
- Be proud of them
- Engage them in positive activities such
as reading books, playing games like monopoly,scrabble, etc
Remember that your children will live with you for at least 16years (that is if they don't enter school before the age of 16). Use this period wisely,so you won't regret it.
This should be not to your children alone but also for other younger ones.
