Twin evils of drug abuse and child marriages

Marvelous Manikai

Streets are now full of destroyed futures, shattered dreams and lost hopes.

Our generation, ama 2000, has been practicing incongruous activities.

Abuse of drugs like dombo or mutoriro has become widespread.

As a result, teen pregnancies have also shot up. It is painful to see young girls heavily pregnant.

Please, hear me out my peers; being disciplined and honourable doesn’t hurt.

Drug abuse is not a solution to any challenges you might be facing.

As for child marriages, there is no need to rush into it as it is not an achievement.

Study hard and build yourself first before thinking of marriage.
