Would you have sex for money to feed your family if they were starving? Answer and explain.
A few days ago, a friend and I got talking, we were talking about the trending news happening (A young new upcoming artist who got killed by the record label he signed into).
The news had it that, their leader was a drug lord ambassador, and for years, it had been his job to maim young boys especially those who got to know what he was into and refused to partake in the dirty deeds.
Funny enough, many of these young boys are aware and have heard so much bad news about him but because Nigeria happened to them and in a quest for wealth or riches, they still decide to get into this only to be caught up in it at the end of the day.
Do, I have to blame them, "Yes" and "No" because the country isn't smiling on many of us who were born into it, and in a quest for survival, they wouldn't mind doing some of the things that they are not proud of.
Even those who are meant to help us, are ready to take advantage of our weakness just because they are at a higher level to help and that has sent many young people into the dangerous street for survival, although that is not a valid reason, but over time, I have learned not to judge people based on those.
Well, since life happened to me at an early age, one of the promises I made to myself was to make sure I did anything within my power to make my family happy and not feel the absence of our father who was apparently the head and the only actually bigger source of our living.
I knew it was going to be difficult for a fifteen years old girl to take up her family responsibility alone but what I was never told was that it was going to be tasking, depressing, and hectic but then, determined to make my family happy and comfortable same way my father would have loved to if he was alive, I had to expand and learn the best way to survive in this world.
Truth is, I learned life the hard way because a few things I didn't know while I was under the coverage of my father who would do anything to make me and my sibling happy, I had to learn it from someone else.
Truth is, many times in the heat of my difficulties, and challenges, I have thought about this option so hard but at the end of the day, my conscience already knows the answer to the question.
So, if I have to have sex for money just to save my starving family, I am not sure I can withstand doing that for money, my conscience can make me fall into depression leading to my death.
