Notes
Introduction Many youth and young teenagers are being caught up in the vice of drinking Alcohol and drugs for various reasons more than Adults.Adults who are consuming a lot of it have forgotten their responsibilities especially in the communities. In today’s meeting we look at the reasons for Drinking Alcohol and some facts. However before the new lesson, the rest of the community had to be brought up to speed with the previous lessons before moving ahead. Overview When Lorna arrived the place where she thought she was to meet the community, one man ran to them and told them that they were to meet at a different home. When they reached their there were a few members already waiting and after a few minutes other community members joined them. When the meeting finally started a few volunteers volunteered to take on the review so that the new community members caught up with the rest of the community on the previous lessons. After that review, they looked at Abstinence and the reasons why young teens say yes to sex and the reasons for saying no to sex . Some of the reasons for saying yes were; to prove their love to their partner, reasons like if we don’t have it, we end the relationship, everyone’s doing it , Curiosity, among others. We were also able to look at reasons for saying No like ; to avoid early pregnancies, to avoid early marriages, to finish school, to marry the right person, to avoid STDs, to allow friendship grow, religious values. Family values, family expectation, not ready because they are young among others. They also looked at help for delaying sex however before that Fiona asked Lorna a question that is it true that if one doesn’t have sex they loose their virginity?. Lorna answered that was not true in-fact when you do have sex is when one looses their virginity. Lorna asked if there were any other questions and some of them were shy but she asked them to write them down so Lorna can answer them. Some of the techniques to delay sex were, not moving in the dark, moving with friends and not alone, whenever in an uncomfortable situation one should feel free to walk away, be clear about ones limits, get involved in activities, do not accept free gifts, do not drink alcohol among others. Lorna mentioned to the community members to look for other ways and they will inform her in the next meeting. On the topic of the day , Alcohol and drug Abuse, Lorna started by asking the group if there were any drinkers of Alcohol in the meeting and they shied away. Lorna asked if there were there in the community and they said yes many. Lorna told them we shall be looking at why people drink alcohol, the dangers of drinking alcohol and how it has affected many homes, lives . Some facts Lorna mentioned were; today there more young people drinking alcohol than adults,more of them are involved in accidents because of Alcohol, young people have a higher proportion of water and fat than adults, people are starting to drink at a younger age , Lorna then asked the group what were some of the reasons people drink Alcohol. Flora said to forget problems , another said poverty, another mentioned peer pressure, self confidence, boredom. However as they were still going on, the rain started to pour and everyone had to run to take shelter therefore we stopped there and will pick up later. Conclusion Lorna thanked the community for coming and asked the teens if they have questions on previous topics to come with questions on pieces of paper so that they will start from there. We shall continue with the lesson on Alcohol in the next meeting.
