Guarding your virginity

 

UmmuKulsum Abubakar Ibrahim

It is a sacrosanct fact that every woman desires a peaceful and prosperous life without regrets, sadness, or sorrow.

To earn people's respect, one needs to practice self-discipline, self-restraint, commitment, and resilience. Above all, respect is reciprocal.

As someone determined to succeed in life, I take it upon myself to be committed and resilient in pursuing my goals. To achieve that, I guard my modesty jealously and avoid indulging in any act capable of tarnishing my future, bringing shame to my family, or jeopardizing my prospects of attaining higher positions in life.

Unfortunately, some women face serious setbacks in their pursuit of higher positions due to their past immoral acts.

It is disheartening to see some women take their modesty for granted, selling it for a pittance. I wonder why some female students, despite their parents' efforts to provide them with basic needs and wants, indulge in immoral activities that they consider as civilized.

Many parents make sacrifices to ensure their daughters have a bright future, but sometimes, the children fail to protect their virginity, pride, and modesty.

To sisters who sell their virginity and pride for materialism, have you ever thought about the negative consequences? Have you considered your future and that of your family because you are a potential mother?

My sister, life is a gradual process, and everything has its time. Why not exercise patience and wait for the right time and the right person who will own you legitimately?

Sister, guard your modesty to avoid regret later in life. The time is now; protect your virginity and do not lose it for anything until the right time and the right person.
