Married in School But Single at Home: How Higher Institution Turns To Couples Environment For Students

I always get surprised whenever I visit Polytechnics, Colleges and Universities. It is like there are becoming nature of which students consider as a miniature counterpart of divine, which now a days turned into places where little girls go to practice ‘Wifely functions’.
This same thing, whenever I visit some boys dormitories, I feel disappointed to find that is now common for a girl to live with a boyfriend or even Cousemate – It is now common for a Boyfriend/Cousemate to give their Girlfriend/Cousemate the popular complement “you look s3xy my Girl” and she would gladly reply with “thank you Honey” with a flirty voice and romantic smile.
Whom her lovers are? A third or fourth year students.
And they are aiming for the next couples of awards at the end of session by departmental Associations. Perhaps, sometimes in the name of social life. So the girls needs to live with them to prepare a progressive motion.
What nonsense! It seems that some girls suddenly lose their senses immediately they gain admission, taking it as their turning point for freedom. I’ve seen that some of them have no sense of caution, honor and dignity. They would sometimes change their wardrobe and acquire a new sets of make up just to look romantic enough for the guys.
Sometimes in months, they would start sleeping around with boys (the boys who collect pocket money from their Uncles or their Parents in particular).
Hey You!
I want you to understand that you were sent to school for a purpose, to obtain a Diploma/Degree not a disease. The Campus called School not a Couple place!
Wake up girl! Do some thinking, your future is greater than the Association awards. You should learn to examine and yet beware of the boys you fall in relationship with.
Don’t give your virginity to a boy who contributes nothing to you. And indeed, don’t take your parent’s efforts for granted.
A word is enough for the wise.
