Teenage life style in Cameroon

in Steem Cameroon2 years ago (edited)

Hello everyone, hope we all doing good. I'm so happy to be back on this platform again. My phone got bad and I was unable to get the keys to my account but thank God I managed to retrieve the keys.
Alot is going on now our days with young people trying to live the western way which makes them pick up certain characteristics which isn't our way or culture in Africa.
Africa is one of the most blessed economy in terms of life style. We had our unique ways which has run from generations to generations but now everything is falling apart because we picking the western culture and creating new life with social media.

Life before now was base on respect and and mora value because of the great and wonderful ways our Parents learnt from our grand parents.
Now our days we the network right at our door steps both parents and children are more involved in social media stuffs then even knowing themselves which this has led to many ills on teenagers.
Almost all of them are involved in at least one social media activities which is the opposite of our culture. Everyday boys getting into scamming which is the leading trend in Young teens, some go far as involving witchcraft powers in it to have quite money.
All are so into creating content in others platforms which they thing going naked is the only way to give dem likes and some are more in to sexual activities for example some do have sex with animals so as to trend.
Due to hard times and the crisis many has drop out of school and picked marriage in very early stages of their life. The high rate of single mothers do increase everyday as time goes by more girls keep giving birth to children because of ignorance and some do it because of money.
The high level of development to contribute to this because more knowledge is been learned.
The high rate of ignorance on family plan also help in early teenage pregnancy which are parenting is not the best because we do not have time for our kids we consider is if the are sick we look at them if not we fine with what ever their are doing

Conclusion

Being a better teenage is one of the hardest things to overcome come but if you can with stand peer pressure you will be find. Let try to learn the best from Western civilisation not the easiest way out.
If our parents are to busy to talk to our let look for some one we trust which can be an example for good living standards and let them bring us in the right and good way in which we pass down to the next generation.
Thanks for reading
