SPREAD THE WORD
There comes a time when all children become adults, even your own. It happens fast and it’s sometimes as confusing for them as it is for the parents and teachers around them. And with so much at stake, unplanned pregnancies and STIs, it’s important the message is not just loud and clear, but also understood and accepted. It’s important to not only understand your role in this, but also how they are feeling emotionally, socially and intellectually.
