Children: Our most valuable natural resource.
Me and this lockdown...
I'm annoying to myself on a good day. On a bad day, I'm downright unbearable. I've been having a lot of bad days as of late. I'm sure I'm not the only but, as you probably guessed by now, I like talking about myself a lot. I'd like to keep that in mind as I continue on telling you all the issues I have going on with me right now. Here we go...

You’re Kid is Practicing Unsafe Sex
Whether or not Sex Education (Sex Ed) should be taught in public schools has been a long-standing debate since 1996 in which parents have always had the final say. Parents deem the topic as inappropriate for their children, while schools know they need to teach students about this topic. Although there has been a steady decrease, in teen pregnancies some teens and millennials blame a rise in sexually transmitted diseases teens and young adults on the lack of adequate Sex Education. Before school administrators can decide whether or not to teach Sex Ed in the classroom, parents need to stop babying their kids; the realities students face need to be taken into account, as well as boundaries, need to be set for the extent of the lessons.

Recognition
When I was growing up, I was ignored by my parents almost every day. You see my mother always had friends she would talk to on the phone and when I asked her something she would send me away to go do something. I would feel sad after and probably go cry or just go play with my toys. She would scream at me saying “I’m on the phone Seyi come back later!” Her friends laugh at me on the phone or complain that she should discipline me more, I felt pretty embarrassed hearing her friends tell my mom that, since the thing I wanted to tell her wasn’t that important. In my life, I have not been given that much recognition, especially in schooling environments.

A letter to my boy
From the day you were born, you were always a sweet child, a sensitive boy with a heart of gold. As I write this to you from the other side of the world, I gaze out my window with worry and the pain of not being there with you, and your brothers. An ocean apart while a global pandemic rages on...who would have thought that life would take us to this place in our lives.

My Girl
Sixteen and a half years ago I gave birth to a tiny baby girl. This baby had wreaked havoc on my body just to bring her into the world, and when she arrived I had no idea what just happened. I had a lot of medical issues giving birth to her and though she should have been a c-section delivery, that just wasn't in the cards and my body paid the price.
