Unreasonable laws

We live in a country whereby we are governed by laws, as South African citizens we have to be law abiding citizens. Laws are created to maintain order in a country and as such they are supposed to cater for the needs and well-being of the citizens. They are a guide to us on how to behave in a country. It does not matter what we believe or what we deem to be the way of doing things as long as it is against the constitution we get punished for it in our courts of law.

There was a new law which was added to the children's act, it was established in 2016 and it stipulates the following: " No person may refuse to sell condoms to a child over the age of 12 years with condoms on request where such condoms are distributed or free of charge."

This law is unreasonable as it encourages 13 year olds to engage in sexual intercourse and they are even allowed to abort if it happens that they become pregnant. What is being taught to these kids? Are they being taught that it is okay to not be responsible? That it is okay to kill innocent souls through abortion? This law is killing the country and I hope the government realises that before it is too late.

    I think this is a good thing because children of today are already engaged in sexual intercourse and this is only for their protection

    As twisted and messed up as this sounds, I think it is the right thing to do.What other option do we have ?Watch as our little sisters become pregnant and have their lives ruined in the name of ''stopping'' them? They are too far gone , all we can do is at least try and protect them in anyway we can.What I don't agree with is abortion , nothing can ever be reason enough to kill an innocent child.

All about myself

Image
I'm a 20 year old female who is named Sithasolwazi meaning source of knowledge. I grew up in Zwelitsha at King Williams Town with my grandparents, aunts and other siblings. My mother worked as a Math teacher in Cape Town. Growing up was never easy it had it's ups and downs. Despite the challenges my childhood was a great one because I was never spoilt like other kids were, if I did wrong I would suffer the consequences through a punishment or a beating and if I achieved something everyone would be happy for me. My family is the best thing that has ever happened to me because I am who I am today because of them. If it wasn't for them I don't know if I would have been the young woman i am today who has values and takes pride in her self. This is just an introduction about myself you'll know more about me as you visit the blog. XX. Much love.

The value of a parent

We often don't know the importance of someone in our lives until we lose them. I don't know what causes that but I guess it's negligence or maybe not realising something's value. Parents play a very crucial role in our lives because they mould us and build us into who we are. It angers me seeing parents treated like trash by their children. Stealing from parents, beating their parents and even having the audacity to backchat or even shout at their parents. We tend to not know the value of parents in our lives. We grumble when they punish us yet they are disciplining us not punishing us out of hatred but instead out of love. Let's learn to respect our parents and treat them like the kings and queens they are because one day we'll lose them and regret the way we treated them for the rest of our lives.               https://www.health24.com/Lifestyle/Contraception/About-contraception/A-mom-at-12-              ...

Women and children

It is very sad how people take the abuse of women and children for granted. Others even have the audacity to justify their behaviour as abusers speculating that they want the victims to know between right and wrong and they are doing it out of love. How can you claim you love someone when all you do is make them cry and make them beg for forgiveness yet they did nothing wrong? How can you claim you love someone yet their tears give you satisfaction and make you feel like a man? It is shocking how even these victims defend their abusers , they protect them and continue loving them like their lives are dependent on it. Even in the court of law where these victims are supposed to punished they are set free. It is as if men find sanity in abusing women and children and it makes them feel like real and powerful men. But the question is how do these abusers sleep at night knowing that innocent souls are broken because of them? Knowing that what they are doing can kill the person they claim...
