Thinking of you

There are days that pass, Then there are days I can’t go past.

On the busiest of days I think of you, Turmoil of emotions I often go through.
Your deep voice echos in ears,The void in my heart seems to grow a bit more.
From Remembering those beautiful memories we spent..
To the hardtimes we together underwent.
From the never ending conversations we had on the table, To the sacrifices you gave to keep us stable.
By imprinting the wise words you left behind, And bringing the vision you had for me alive.
My beloved Father in Heaven.. I know I will never be able to pay you back..
But this is How I will honour you till I Die.

important period in young people’s sexual and psychosocial development that they receive different information about sex from parents, schools, peers and popular culture.
This information can shape their attitudes and behaviours for good or for ill and affect the risks they take and how they threat others. Understanding their own sexuality and making informed decisions about their behaviours is essential for healthy sexual development into adulthood including the medical information that support sexual health.
Risky behaviours include sexual activity with multiple sexual partners, without the use of contraceptives, and while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Early and risky sexual behaviours can establish unhealthy sexual patterns.
The social consequences of adolescent risky sexual behaviours can be long-lasting and costly to adolescents, their families, and society at large. Research suggests that school-based sex education is an important and effective component in reducing the sexual risk-taking behaviour of adolescents.
Research shows that watching pornography is a real concern for children and should be for parents and society as well. Viewing pornography can affect young people’s sexual attitudes, expectations and practices.
In Australia, 90 per cent of boys and 60 per cent of girls under the age of 18 have seen online porn. What is concerning about viewing pornography is the wrong message of control, pleasure and physical aggression it can give to young people about sexuality.
Postponing sexual intercourse, reducing the number of sexual partners and discussing issues around pornography are conversations that need to occur at home and at school using best practice and in a respectful and caring way.
