ABSTINENCE.

Regardless of how important it is to do good that we humans have knowledge and capabilities of, the world now prefers people who do bad things than those who do good things. sometimes they tag people who tell truths as wicked people because the world we live in now can’t stand hearing the truths. Friends tell you to loosen up and stop taking things too serious, its good to enjoy life but there is a limit to every enjoyment. When you overdo it you kill yourself.

Abstinence is one of the gifts we possess as humans, Abstinence is a self-enforced restraint from indulging in bodily activities that are widely experienced as giving pleasure. Most frequently, the term refers to sexual abstinence, or abstinence from alcohol, drugs, or food.

Let us discuss SEXUAL ABSTINENCE

Sex is good, but it is created for married couples.

there is a reason it is created for married couples and the purpose of pleasures and reproduction.

The world is wild, many humans have already lost their ability to abstain from bad things e.g premarital sex ( which is a sin biblically). Many of us are guilty of this but regardless of our mistakes, we can learn to abstain from premarital sex in other to avoid unwanted pregnancy, STDs, career killers, Abortions etc. Abstaining from sex can seem to be hard initially but as days goes the body adapts to the abstinence which in turns saves you from unexpected sexual related tragedies. As a person, your Virginity is your pride.

Alcohol and drugs usage among youths now is like a pandemic that is ravagely eating up and destroying the lives of many youths. Many youths believe if they don’t use alcohol and drugs they are not yet complete as a youth or seen as one, the continued usage of alcohol and drugs leads to addictions and addictions leads to deaths mostly. Avoid bad friends because peer pressures from them can lead you to do bad things, they can influence your behaviours, they can lead you to destruction. it is better to be alone doing good things than having friends that can lead you to an early grave. Avoid it.
