My mom is a lover of animals. She likes to keep them around ranging from dogs, chickens to any kind-of animals that can be kept as pets.
We have some set of chickens and just like it is in humans, animals can tell their seniors from their juniors. There is this chick that is about 3 weeks old, it is very stubborn or do I say it has a very strong will to live?. The chick is bullied by all the other chickens but the oldest, a cock, shows no mercy. It will bite the chick to the extent that the hair on it falls off leaving just bare skin.
At a point I was scared the chick has some sort of disease or something but that wasn't the case. When it's time for the chickens to be fed, they will all bully the chick, but it will still try to get the little food it can get.
So finally the day of freedom came. The cock was killed and used to make sweet stew (lol) and that was when the hair on the chick started to grow. All the other chickens were not so much of a bully.
Lessons learnt
In life most times we are faced with challenges and each time you keep at it with no positive result. You get depressed, you try again, same no effectual result. Those challenges are bullies and will not last long just like the cock. A day of freedom will come and just the way the chick survived the harsh weather conditions without hair on its skin, if you hold on a little longer, you will break through. The chick became stronger, the challenges will make you stronger and stronger till you can scale through. Life is a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up. It doesn't get easier, we get stronger.

TEENAGE PREGNANCY (DEBATEABLE POST).
Sex is a choice between two consenting adults and when I see teenage girls moving around with protruding stomachs, I wonder; how did this happen?, how did the baby get there?……WiFi, Bluetooth, flashshare or rather xender?. Somebody please answer (lol). Now Sarcasm aside, this is a much more bigger issue than I thought.
For a whole week I kept seeing different teenage girls with pregnancy. My thought is how are they feeling?. And then I give kudos to their parents for allowing them keep their babies since I am not a fan of abortion. Sometimes trying to correct one mistake (abortion) could be costlier than accepting it (keeping your baby).
I read an article sometimes back which said that research shows that women who give birth after the age of 25 have greater chances of living long when compared to women who give birth before the age of 25. I don’t want to concern myself with the health risk, the shame the teenagers have to live with, the way society reacts to teenage pregnancy, how it affects the lives of the teenagers and finally how their parents have to cope with it because the result is not always a friendly one.
My concern is where did it go wrong, who did not do their home works well; parents, teachers, religion or lack of it, over protectiveness or lack of it, too much of civilization or lack of it, unlimited access to the internet or lack of it, lack of sex education or too much of it (for our teenagers who like to experiment) or should the male involved know better?
I stand to be corrected, I believe the male or rather men involved are of a higher age and should know better. Most times they are adults. So is sex with a teenager rape since they are not adults (I don’t believe they have the choice of consenting or not) or sex.
