A GROWING MORAL CHALLENGE AMONG SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
A disturbing incident recently occurred in a secondary school that calls for the urgent attention of parents and society at large.
A female student in SS2 committed an offense that led her teacher to discipline her. During the process, blood was unexpectedly seen dripping from her arm. She was taken to the principal’s office, where she was asked to remove her shirt.
To everyone’s shock, it was discovered that the bleeding came from an implant device lodged in her upper arm.
The implant, medically known as a contraceptive device, is designed to prevent pregnancy during sexual in*******se. Once inserted, it can remain in the body for up to three years.
Upon questioning, the student confessed that she was not the only one carrying the device. A school-wide investigation revealed that at least 40 female students were found with similar implants.
This raises critical questions:
What business does a girl under the age of 17 have with such a device?
How did these secondary school students gain access to it?
What is the role of medical practitioners inserting such devices into minors?
The implications are alarming. If left unchecked, this trend threatens the moral upbringing of children and the future of our society. Parents cannot afford to remain silent.
The Role of Parents and Society
Parents have a divine and moral duty to nurture, monitor, and guide their children. Failure to do so not only leads to societal decay but also carries accountability before God.
Equally concerning is the role of health workers who administer such implants to underage girls. By doing so, they indirectly promote immorality and compromise the values of the younger generation.
Way Forward
Parents must intensify close monitoring of their children, both at home and in school.
Open communication between parents and children on moral, religious, and social issues must be prioritized.
Community leaders, religious leaders, and schools should work together to restore discipline and moral guidance.
Where possible, girls who are of age and have responsible suitors should be encouraged to marry, as marriage helps curb immoral behavior.
What was once thought to be a challenge only among university students is now creeping into secondary schools. This calls for urgent action from parents, schools, health authorities, and society at large. The moral future of our children depends on the decisions we make today.
