Ten Reasons Why Sex Should Wait Until Marriage

Image
I learned many lessons in my daily dealing with young ones, especially the female ones...they get disturbed everyday by the opposing sex of which they found themselves succumbing to their proposal (toasting) after several days of pressurizing and flattering. But here are some reasons why I think you should avoid sex prior your colorful impending day of joy... Sex is a powerful force that can destroy if not used properly. Like atomic power, sex is the most powerful creative force given to man. When atomic power is used correctly it can create boundless energy; when it is used in the wrong way it destroys life. Sex is the same kind of powerful force. Sex is a gift from God to give us the greatest pleasure, to help in creating a deep companionship with one's spouse and for procreation of the next generation. But if you play with this powerful force outside the bounds of marriage, it destroys you and those close to you. Sexual activity for young people arrests their ps...

6 Ways to Reduce Period Pain

Image
  1. Supplement Yourself Take calcium and magnesium supplements throughout the month, as these nutrients work in concert to aid muscle relaxation. You should aim for a total of about 1000mg of calcium daily, and up to 500mg of magnesium daily.  If you experience loose stools, reduce the dose. (Note: we recommend you use calcium citrate, because it tends to be more easily absorbed into the system than calcium carbonate.) 2. Try a Tea Raspberry leaf is considered to be a mild uterine tonic. Try a cup of raspberry leaf tea each day throughout the month. It is available at Whole Foods by the company Traditional Medicinals.

Pressure by teachers for sex reported in Nigeria's schools

Image
   When Nigeria's education minister faced an audience of 1,000 schoolchildren, she expected to hear complaints of crowded classrooms and lack of equipment. Instead, girl after girl spoke up about being pressured for sex by teachers in exchange for better grades. One girl was just 11 years old. "I was shocked," said the minister, Obiageli Ezekwesili, who has several children herself. "I asked � was it that prevalent? And they all chorused 'yes.' " For years, sexual harassment has been rampant in Nigeria's universities, but until recently very little was done about it. From interviews with officials and 12 female college students, a pattern emerges of women being held back and denied passing grades for rebuffing teachers' advances, and of being advised by other teachers to give in quietly.   The problem has spread into schools, says Ezekwesili, and there are signs the government is finally intervening. Now that harassment eve...

Image
Let us have a look at top 10 disadvantages of early marriages.       10. Lack of Understanding: How can two individuals (got married) understand each other at too young ages? Well, that is quite difficult; the level of understanding is only developed when the boy and girl are too mature to understand the things and their environment. In case, they are not given time for it, they would surely have to face lack of understanding. 9. Difficulties in Dedicating: When the boys at the age of 16 or 17 are burdenized with a wife and he has to work to raise the family, then definitely he would find it to be quite difficult to become a successful life. The same is the situation with a girl of this age group, she would have to run the whole house and manage the things, becoming a fulltime house-wife. That sounds quite complicated for the two to manage and dedicate themselves fully. 8. Lack of Compatibility: Many of the wedding relations get de...

  Love is a pure and sacred feeling. It connects people with unbreakable threads. Being able to love someone and to be loved is a gift of god. Love being a symbol of purity can exist between any two people, be it a mother and a child, two friends or even a boy and a girl. It is a feeling which is voluntary therefore it cannot be imposed upon anyone. It happens on its own. Therefore when you love someone all you have to do is say it with an open heart and don’t fear the response. But what happens in today’s society is that boys are seen to take an initiative most of the time. And this often happens in the case of love that is when it comes to proposal. If you think hard over it doesn’t it seem to be a little unfair? Yes, it does because if you are in love with a guy you should express your feelings just at that moment rather than waiting for him to approach you. In spite of it girls usually keep mum and sit and wait fo...
