So why don’t we just give teenagers condoms?”
“Can we keep assuming that they are just innocent kids who are abstaining until marriage?🤔 The numbers say they are actually having sex, maybe even having more sex than adults,” he added.
Some people who read this post on his social media agreed with him saying people are just living in denial yet they know the truth.
“I totally agree with you. We are leaving in denial that kids are not engaging in sexual activity, if only we could accept the truth and mitigate their risk of getting pregnant or catching HIV, rather than doing damage control. @NaguruC am I right?,” a one Nabukeera Madrine said.
