THE MALE CHILD ALSO NEED ATTENTION

Being a male child doesn’t mean I should be left out,
I also pass through different stages/development in life,
Being a male child does not mean I can automatically stand alone in this world without support,
I also need a bit of guidance as well. As the male child, nothings stops me from going astray,
Sex education,abstinence,good behaviour,
I deserve to be more enlightened about it as well,
Not only the female child can be abused,
I can also be a victim of assault and molestation,
Not only the female child can be stigmatised or can pass through trauma,
I’m also human.
Yes! I know one I will grow to be d breadwinner and leader of a family,
Never assume I know it all,
I shouldn’t be left all alone.
I can also be influenced into the bad and immoral behaviours of the society.
Do not assume I am strong enough and more attention should be on the female child.
Assumptions kills and lead one astray,
Being a male doesn’t mean I am strong enough,
I do have lot of weaknesses,
I should not be neglected,
Making decisions without guidance isn’t as easy as it seems.
Being a male child doesn’t make me deserve less attention,
There should be equal attention between the male and female child.
We both need attention at home,school and society at large.
NB:THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MALE AND FEMALE CHILD IS THAT THE MALE CHILD,TEND TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO HIDE THEIR WEAKNESS UNLIKE THE FEMALE CHILD.
