WHAT MUM AND DAD DIDN'T TELL ME

The youth of today face a moral crisis that emanates from the lack of a proper guidance from their parents and role models. While parents give their children and ward all the material care they can afford, they shy away from the core matters that bother around morality and only wish their children grow to be morally upright.

Since most themes about morality sound obscene, they fear that merely discussing such with or even before their young child will make them develop and build wayward ideas and attitudes.

Thus, daily, the youths, as they find their step in life are confronted with the very issues their parents shy away from discussing with them, through various media most of which are outside the control of their parents.

Since these topics are a taboo in their various households, they know do not know where to turn to for clarification where they desire some.

Curiosity, especially over that which is forbidden, being such an uncontrollable impulse, pushes the youth to seek clarification from wrong sources either from people who are ignorant or immoral themselves or through personal physical experimentation.
