The gp video we watched today was....realistic, yet heart-wrenching. For a moment, I really felt lucky because unlike those teenage girls in Kenya(Africa) shown in the video who were fighting a dilemma between free sex and hopes of surviving.

You know what? While Singaporeans adults enjoy the education on birth control, advices on family planning and the range of well-thought out government policies, at the other landmass of the globe, things seem to be on the other extreme. Situations that rob people of their pride and conscience, just to get the things they want.

Where the majority of the population lives in squatters and the muddy, rubbish-dump-like areas are the playgrounds of kids there, people in Kenya mostly live in poverty.

In order to ensure the survival of herself or her family, many teenage girls stood at street to sell their bodies. Sometimes, it was just out to get only a meal. That was already bad enough, but some of the desperate men there even raised the probability that the girls will be given more money in return if they agreed to sex without taking preventive measures!

I was terribly disgusted by that, I meant the men's thoughts. Precisely because of all this undesirable culture, many of the adults are diagnosed with HIV positive. Many girls who get pregnant at 18 or 19 years old resort to abortion; by the time they reached the hospital for the necessary procedures, many of them are already bleeding! At times, I can't help to think that human-creator is unfair. Why is it that these women have to suffer from all these physical and mental struggle? Stooping their pride low just to get money to put bread on tables.

Life's really unfair sometimes.

Whilst watching the documentary video today, I was kinda affected and emotions just got haywired in my mind. I felt like crying for them, no idea why...but it seemed the scenes just got the emotional me out...

Nonetheless, Cherish life:)
