I had a chat with some teenagers of siaya sub county who
fortunately or unfortunately are teenage parents and
what I learnt is there is a lot negligence and pure
ignorance amongst the youths when it comes matters
of sexual reproductive health. For instance on how they
feel as young parents some said that they were proud
since in case of death they won’t be forgotten as their
seeds would carry their torch on wards ……..on why
they never used a condom some talked of being caught
up in the moment while others talked of raw sex being
sweeter…. on why they could not abstain they said it’s
really hard for them to abstain… on whether they were
catering for their children’s needs they said they had
no capacity yet… Really, was God mistaken when he
said procreation was meant for the married? Why
bring an innocent child to this world just to let it
suffer? Has sex become like the air we breathe that we
can’t live without? Why do you give in for five minutes
of pleasure just to regret for the rest of your life? It
is high time that we youths become responsible when it
comes to reproductive health. If you know that you
are not ready to bring a child into this world then
please grab a condom and use it. If you cannot have
protected sex then you abstain until when you married
.let us make pro- responsible choices that we will never
live to regret. The Youth, let us practice abstinence,
condom use and faithfulness for a success in our
reproductive health.
