Girls, please stop dating older people than you because you want money. Ask your parents for money or anything you need instead of men old enough to be your fathers.
These older men will force you into doing things you wouldn’t ordinarily do because they gave you money. They will buy fancy dresses, expensive phones and expensive jewellery in exchange for your body and other indecent activities. If you say no, you might be exposing yourself to prostitution, stealing for them and even compromising your family values, you don’t want that.
Don’t allow yourself to be controlled and confused by material things of the World that could compromise all your beliefs in the future. You might be forced to sleeping with these older men and who knows what diseases you might be exposing yourself to and even unwanted pregnancy.
When you are a teen mother, school children can be very cruel and judgemental and can make your school life very difficult. Juggling school work and raising your child will be extremely difficult, and that older man will not be there to help you. You will be raising your child alone with so many regrets and living a stressful life, that can’t be great for anyone.
