It's also an abuse.

Since I began this move against the abuse of the girl child, I have been exposed to so many situations of people both the 'hear say' and the real ones I have come across. In all, I have to understand that abuse is a predominant issue in our society and if not checked our children are done for it.

Abuse isn't just the physical penetration, we also have:

Verbal abuse

Physical abuse

Emotional abuse.

But I want to concentrate on the emotional abuse and please you will help me to deduce if this is also abuse.

I heard the story of Joy and I became weak to the darkened heart of men.

Joy had lost her dad since she was 8yrs, and since her mum has been the one helping her and two siblings with finances and home affairs. Her mum was a petty trader who sells fruits. Sometimes when she comes home from school, she helps her mum to hawk her fruits. On some occasions, she met with the bad men but she was able to overcome them. She loves her mum so much that she vowed she was going to make her mum proud of her no matter what.

Not long things became very difficult for them, they were no much profits coming from the petty business. The fruits were spoiling day by day and each time her mum sees this, she begins to cry. But one thing she has loved about her mum is that she was a dedicated Christian. And so most nights she cries to God for help.

Not long, the husband of the widow began changing their circumstances. Seeing that her mother prayed and things began to change, she decided to be serious with her God. She joined the teenage choir and became dedicated, she has never had missed any rehearsal.

Not long, her dedication began to win the admiration of Christian parents and teenagers were ad iced to make such a person their friends.

Sorry I forgot, Joy is a young teenager of 16yrs, with a touch of smartness. Her quiet nature makes her so reserve that she easily keeps things to her.

Due to her dedication and calm nature, she began having admirers one of which was her Music Director. He began coming close to her and they became close friends. Sometimes he visits her at home and she visits him to but he had never made any sexual advancement. Not long after she finished her secondary school and waiting for JAMB this her music director began singing words of marriage into her ears. At first, she was proving hard to get but with so much consideration about his personality, she decided to give him a trial. He kept on giving her the attention she wanted.

Not long in her 300level, she heard he was about to get married because he is a prominent person in the church. She asked him but he stylishly denied it, that she should go back and confirm from those that were giving her the gist.

All of a sudden, he sent her an IV, she couldn't believe it...

Pls friends won't you call this abuse. I'm going to continue on this later...
