As a youth or an adolescence, there's more chances of being involved in social vices. This is usually called youth exuberance. But the truth remains there are still a hundred chances of you not being involved in it. As a learned personnel, I remember I was taught about abstinence; the attitude of abstaining, refraining yourself from an activity, which I know is still found in the dictionary.
Nobody is an island and no one prays to be so. As we mingle as humans, there's this sensitivity of differentiating between good and evil. I know it's very hard to take decisions alone. Your decisions are indirectly or directly influenced by the prospects of the company of friends you hang out with. It's therefore your decision to determine the friends you keep. The fact remains that you know the people you mingle with more than their parent's knows them.
In an interview with the father of a weed baron, the father was asked if he founds out his son was into illicit drug activities what would he do. Confidently he said ' I know my son more than anyone. My son has been trained never to go into any thing illegal or against the law of the land'. The interviewer admitted the courage of the father but didn't stop his question there. He asked the son who was also present at the meeting. 'What is the worst thing you've done and regretted?'. With tears in the son's eyes, he said 'If only God can make me normal and think like everyone I'd be happy'. The father, very happy, thinking his son was mad with his academics started laughing. Then the son continued, "Since I started taking weeds and several other illegal drugs, I hardly think like anyone and my last diagnosis started I'm done with Lung Cancer'. The shocked father stood still for about ten minutes staring at his son. He didn't believe it. The interviewer was so sorry for the father's ignorance.
According to this story, you see that even the parents failed in studying their son. But if a friend was asked that question, we'd have seen a linking statement with that of the victim. You know your friend very well. Be careful not to choose the wrong one. The popular saying that states 'Birds of the same feather flocks together' still remains inevitable. No matter how you claim single man in the lead, you're influenced by their activities. It's either you start talking same way, laugh same way, eat same way, smile same way, carry out your activities same way or even dress same way. Many frames can link you to the friends you keep.
Today, we are gonna talk about ways on which you can live your life without being involved in menaces.
Music: The manner of music you listen to matters a lot. This our generation is a great lover of music so we really need to be careful on the music we listen to. Various kind of bad lifestyle are posed in music of this age; it's either talking about sex, infatuations, drugs, drug abuse, heart break, gangster, loose money making e.t.c. We therefore need to be properly guided on the manner of songs we listen to. There are other kinds of song we can listen to apart from this worldly filled messages they disperse via music. Songs that preaches encouragement, God, agape love, caring about humanity, high self esteem, provides solution to your problems can be substituted for those poor aimless lyrics that only increase the problems in the society.
Drama: This is most popular and interesting genre of literature. The power of seeing is greater than the power is more stronger than hearing. The best way you can make a child learn is by acting out the roles you want to teach. Often times, dramas displayed or acted on the screen encourages all manner of youth menaces.
Some of them preaches them to be normal and unavoidable which is a big lie of this age. Some drama are purely sex filled called pornography. Watching pornography will increase the rate of rape, fornication, bestiality and masturbation wasting future generations. Some comedies have borrowed this risky lifestyle which increases naughtiness among humans. Instead of looking for what will make you perverse, look for morally inclined movies. This moral movies helps in transmitting the right attitude of life. Reaching people most at times is through this means, therefore we need to be careful to choose movies that talks about issues of life and the solutions and other scientific fictional films. These films will improve your level of initiating ideas, improve your morale and make you outstanding among your peers.
Literature books/novels: What you read can either mortify or destroy you. It is therefore wise that one knows what he opens to read. Reading of pornographic, gangster, heart breaking, self centered, intimidating, offensive novels or books can only add to the destructive factors affecting your mentality. it is said that the human brain is likened to a room filled with computers but I say even though the human brain is the largest memory of all time, it should not be stored with articles that destroys both your esteem and way of thinking knowingly or unknowingly. Books is said to be inevitable cause everything you do needs its storage either on soft copy or hard copy. What then should you read that can improve your thinking since its very hard to see those kinds of book in the market?. Books that exposes the evil ideas of the government, books that exposes the wicked life style of a nation towards its citizen either by racism, discrimination, strict policy, dictatorial power and the rest should be read in order to be closer to the affairs happening around us in the state and world. Books like Native son by Richard Wright, Lonely days by Bayo Adebowale, The better you by Joyce Moyes, Faceless by Amma Darko are certified group that actually guarantees these features listed.
Your Company/ The Group You Keep: The manner of friends you keep matters a lot. This is the most influential form of relating. When you are care free of the friends you keep, it'll make you loose to bad vices. You can't allow others pick you as a friend without your permission. If anyone is trying to lure you into being his/her friend and the lifestyle of such a person is suspicious or not legalized or even not pleasing, it remains your right to end the relationship amicably; stating to the second party why you cannot be his/her friend without hurting their feelings to avoid retaliation. Don't you ever be a friend to people that are marked Armed robbers, thieves, squandrels, rebels, wanted by the police, drug barons or even a cultist. The reason why I said that is, there's a greater percentage of you turning us to be like them either by influences or pressures. BE WISE WHILE CHOOSING YOUR FRIENDS!!!!
