Young Girl

I have been crazy busy so this is the first time that I have truly had enough time to dedicate to a true post. Yesterday I was having a conversation with my best girl friend, whom resides in Philadelphia. She is a mentor at a local middle school and was telling me about her young mentee, a 14yr old 8th grader, who is also sexually active. My bestie further explained that she first began at 12 with a 16yr old boy. I felt terrible at the point, I truly had no words to describe how much I felt for this child. She is a baby that is confused and believes that being sexually active makes her mature, when in fact it is slowly deteriorating her esteem and encouraging unhealthy dependency of the opposite sex at an early age. A male at 16 is at a completely different level than a girl at 12. That four year age gap between, a teen and pre teen is completely detrimental. My bestie asked me what she should say to her. I gave her this analogy. A women's womb is like a locket, and men hold keys. A man with a master key is perceived as king, but women who opens up with any key is not holding anything sacred. Women, Ladies be great role models. Encourage one another, love one another be examples for the younger generation that are following our behaviors. It is never too late for any child, we can talk to as many people as we can and to ignite the light that rests within all women.
