Birth control, unplanned pregnancies and its consequences
Together today but tomorrow is another story.
Character : 1.79m, slightly overweight male.
Thomas : ( Smiling ) “In another few months i will be in university. My girl friend did better in her STP so she will be unlikely to be in the same university as me. It is ok. We are still young. I love her and she loves me. Our lives are ahead. It doesn’t mean that we will be together forever. In fact our parents don’t expect our lives to intertwine beyond the next few months.
I was a little sad recently. One night we didn’t you know, I was huh..you know …you knowlah. We din’t practice safe sex. We both thought she would get pregnant. We had a talk and decided to stop schooling, look for a job and get married. Now it is obvious she is not pregnant. What a relief hahahhahahahahahahah. Imagine if she was pregnant and we stopped schooling..what a waste of our lives indeed.
We are young still very young. There is still plenty of time for us to lead our lives.”
It is true indeed in the throes of passion, caution is sometimes thrown to the wind and sometimes with dire consequences. Fortunately for this two love birds all they will have left are memories after a few more months. In writing this post, it is not to say I condone such acts before marriage. Looking into Thomas’s eyes and imagining myself as his parent I will feel remorse and sadness if two lives are disrupted for avoidable and unnecessary reasons.
Think before you ‘DO IT’

BB: those things are out of our control de.. haha
sometimes things dont turn out as planned
that would have been a bummer if it really happened.
both might have missed their chances of furthering their education
every thing before they do it, just for the wrong reason.. he he
they had a reprieve
Sometimes I am worry about my students. Most of them are in pairs and I dare not say much in front of them fear that I will not gain trust from them. I tell them that it is ok if they know what are they doing and where is the border. But I don’t encourage this kind of relationship at this stage because you never know what will happen after this stage. One might pursue study at else where and after that, one might stumble into a better candidate… and voila… someone will end up being hurt. I rather advise them to wait till a stable stage preferably when they start working. Sorry with my conservative thinking!
Sometimes I think we r out of touch with the younger generation. We r now the uncool generation. Tell them about eating more salt than rice to them n they will think huh?
…sometimes no time is actually right to get into a relationship, even after working, one partner might suddenly get posted to work far far way from the other…some even separated after marriage! In any case, when one gets into a relationship, trust and commitment must be there…one must be willing to “let go” and see if their partner “returns”…not as easy as it sounds though…just my 2 cents.
sometimes we have to take risks
so simple yet dunwan to take; wear condoms lor! sheesh!
I agreed with Mar. And Wuching is actually right too. A friend of mine in Miri, instead of saying no to early relationship, she is now advising the young one to wear condom and tell them the right way of wearing it.
i am more conservative than that
yah think think think..but sometimes, cannot think also.. hai..
it is never easy
