The Role of Parents in Preventing Hiv / Aids Among Adolescents Taiwo Dele-osibanjo

Nowadays, We See The Level Of Moral Decadence In The Society Is Increasing At An Alarming Rate. It's Easy As The Custom Of So Many Is To Blame This Menace On The Government Of The Day, But If We Observe Critically, We Will See That Majority Of These Vices Are Permitted In The Lives Of Adolescents Right From The First Institution The Child Comes In Contact With I.e. The Home. The Same Is Applicable To The Hiv/aids Disease Which Spreads Like A Wildfire Particularly Amongst The Adolescents, Right From The High School Age. Sex Is No Longer An Activity Reserved For Married Couples, It Is Now A Pleasurable Venture So To Say, Embarked On Particularly The Young Ones Below The Marriageable Age. This Menace Had Cut Short Many Promising Lives, And Short-lived Many Dreams. I Call On All Parents To Model Out Good Lifestyles For The Younger Generation To Emulate. The Practice Of Teaching Sex Education To The Younger Generation Should Not Be Relegated To The Background, Rather It Should Be Embraced By All And Sundry. Let Us Pass A Befitting Legacy To Tomorrow's Future Leaders. Only Then Can We Live Worthy And Beneficial Lives.
