This word as wonderful as it sounds causes a lot of trouble in the daily lives of young people around the world. They say if you love someone other things just fall into place effortlessly, some even say you have to have sex with your partner to prove that you love them. Is this true?
In as much as this sounds so wrong, some people actually still believe in such saying thereby abusing the true essence of love, some even tag a sexually transmitted infection a love infection if they got it from someone they love, some say having a child for someone you love outside of marriage shows that you love them (these girls between the age of 13 and 20 years). The most shocking discovery is that some young girls in some southern states in the country believe that when a guy has sex with you with a rubber (condom) he doesn’t love you. What!!!!! Are we thinking alike here?

1. The presence of love in a relationship between two young people does not necessarily evict the presence of all other odds.
2. Sex is not a basis for love and should not be considered as such.
3. Love infection doesn’t exist, so if you are one of those nursing an infection and putting it all on love, I would advise you to get treatment for it as it could someday claim your life and love wouldn’t be there to save you.
4. Having a child at a very young age is very risky, so before you as a young person decide to hide under the umbrella of love to have premarital sex and have a child in the process, you should know that the child you are bringing into the world is innocent and does not deserve any form of suffering you will be putting him/her in.
5. Lastly it is dangerous to have sex without any form of protection, so if you are one of those (especially a young girl) who believe that their partner does not love them if he uses a condom, you are wrong because love has nothing to do with protecting yourself during sexual intercourse and neither will love protect you from sexually transmitted infection or unwanted pregnancies.
Love is a dynamic word that needs to be respected and not abused the way we do these days, it has nothing to do with premarital sex or unwanted pregnancies. The sooner we realize we are wrong in these our beliefs the sooner we will have a country more or less free of sexual and reproductive health issues. So if you fall in any of the categories of young people above please do learn from your mistakes and make a change because its for your good as well as young people all over the country.
