The rate of fornication among teenagers is alarming... You will see a girl 13 years old crying and feeling heartbreak. What the hell!
At the age of 13, I was busy with football and games, there was no thought about the opposite gender nor was I close to any female until I was 16 years of age, and I don't mean relationships, just friendship! I started dating when I was 21 years but things are different now, boys below the age of 16 years are already using 11 Pro Max and all in their brains is how to scam others and have many girlfriends they can fornicate with, how rotten the world has become.
It only gets worse, I am not exaggerating this, but some girls started having sex at the age of 9, I have witnessed a case where a mother caught her daughter having sex with their neighbor's son in their apartment, both of them were not yet up to the age of 12, are we going to blame the parents for the children act? or blame the society?
There are a lot of factors to be put into consideration, and to be honest smartphones and the internet are part of the problem leading to this issue, when I was a teenager, phones were not something that could be easily accessed, cos they were scarce and expensive, in my home, it was only my dad using mobile and it was until later she got my mum a phone too and those phones also didn't have internet so even when I took the phones, all I could do was play the snake game.
Things are different now, our children are being exposed to the immoral stuff being displayed on the internet, hardly is there any social media platform without immoral displays, enter Facebook, and you will see content creators talking about sex and whatnot, and the same with TikTok and this is because this is what gives them more views and engagement, children who have access to phones sees these things and act on it! which leads to a high rate of fornication in the country and it will only get worse.
Based on the hive Naija prompt of the week, If my daughter got pregnant while seeking admission into the university... Well I would be furious at first but in the end, she will be forgiven, and in case the boy did not accept the pregnancy, It will be my responsibility to take care of the mother and child but if he is ready to take care of his responsibility, the only option is to speed up the marriage process and for her to go to her husband home...
The solution above only implies if she is above 20 years old, if she is less than that, she can't get married yet so the man would have to wait till she is of age to get married but I won't stop them from communicating with each other for the sake of the baby.
As a parent, my duty is to make sure that my daughter doesn't get impregnated at such a tender age or when she is still pursuing her career by advising and guiding her toward the right path, I won't be that strict to the extent that my children won't be able to have discussions with me...

I support the idea of being open to enable your daughter confide in you. But sometimes, girls just love to do what they want to regardless what they were taught by their parents. Girls can be really complicated you know.
yea you are right, but still we have to do our part and if they don't follow it and got into trouble, we cant disown them... we need to clean up their mess
Omo ni omo mama je nigba gbogbo
Your child will always be your child
you speak fact
I agree with your thoughts and feel it's the best thing you can do for your child. Whatever the reason, you can't leave your child alone to face the terrible situation.
not at all, our children mistakes are to be forgiven...
It's sad seeing how our teenagers of today are living their lives anyhow of which most of their actions backfire. Parents will continue to play their parts consistently. Even if my girl child is 18 years, I will still be guiding her rightly to avoid this kind of story capable of affecting her career.
Your thoughts on the topic is good but you must be sure that the man genuinely love your daughter before talking about marriage with him even if your daughter is of age, because sometimes it's infatuation that push some boys into defiling a girl child and not really because her loves her
this is another word of wisdom from a mother, yea you are right, i need to be sure she will be in good hands before giving her out, but then you know this is also her decision because i cant know a good man from just looking at him, she is the one involve with him and will know him better....
I love your writings dear brother
thanks
