These are the stories of three different people.
There was a guy that was hardworking, handsome, focused and successful.He usually hung out, clubbed on weekends, watched football, talked about and played with money and ladies with his friends.He did this regularly as it was normal to him and his friends, he even stated the medical benefit of such things.
He always said, "Guys will be guys", "You can only live your life once" and "Body no be wood".He always said it is the normal way of Life.On the way from the club one night while driving, he was drunk and died in a terrible car accident.
This is another story of a young lady that was badly beaten by her boyfriend and she said, he loves me.She slept with him regularly because she wanted to keep him.She even got pregnant for the same loving boyfriend and he was just not interested anymore.
A girl was raped while she was young, she now had regular sexual urges, she then started masturbating.As she grew older,guys were attracted to her, she started sleeping with them, believing that she was hurting them and who cares she was collecting their money.
Points:
1) Some guys say,it is normal to have sex, drink, smoke and club.
2) Some guys/men believe in beating and abusing women
3) Some girls believe in keeping a guy by having sex with him
4) Some people say girls that get pregnant are not smart
5) Some guys don't take responsibility for pregnancies
6) Rape is quite rampant now and those involved are stigmatised most of the time and they usually don't share their experiences
Questions To Ask Yourself:

3) Do you have Self-confidence?
