Well, I've realized a few things in my early 20s. Most of us at some point in our lives were practically foolish only to learn through time (as we grow older) and experience. Mine below;

1. At 18, everybody craves for SeX. Some control thier urges till marriage, but the majority loose it along along the way (before marriage).

2. Everyone craves for appreciation and attention.

3. Seduction and flirting is fun, until someone unattractive is doing it to you.

4. With the increasing number of breakups in relationships, I think alot of people jump into it for selfish reasons.

5. If you give in your all in a relationship, you'd end up making the other person emotionally lazy!

6. Religion is man-made.

7. It's easier to find to find a girl/guy to flirt with. But difficult finding a partner to settle down with.

This are some of mine.....what's yours?

Few Things I learned while growing up
1. Most of the Things we where told as kids where nothing but Lies
2. Most of the Things taught In Religion are False
3. Hard work doesn't Guarantee success
4. Once you get some thing you worked for, it it loses value I.e you can't go through the effort and stress you went through the first time to get It again.
5. As An average Nigerian you will never have peace of mind Unless you become wealthy
6. Everything we do Revolves around money Without Money, theres no point in living
7. Life ain't no Fairy Tale once you are dead That's all
8. There is no Happy ever after (never)
9. No matter how Close you are with somebody they must feel jealous anytime you are one step above them
10. Luck Determines everything (hard work +luck=Success Been lazy+Luck=success)
11. We are smarter Than our parents

This four points sums up all i'v gathered..

1) Its not all about HARDWORK you simply have to be SMART cool

2) The world was one unit until religion came and separated us

3) KARMA.....KARMA is a BITCH

4) The pain of loosing, is nothing compared to the pain of not trying...

Trusting in God absolutely is the best decision you can make. Humans will fail but God wouldn't.
Never trust any human when it comes to money and sexual activities.......you'll be shocked what people can do or when money is involved and you'll also be shocked at what some persons are doing as regards their sexual activity

in life u are just on ur journey alone, nobody gives a damn about u. everybody is minding their business. So no need for "look at what my mates are doing" etc.
Also once you succeed, u will see people flocking around u, people that wouldnt have even cared about u wen u were struggling

I know that family is number one. Can't trade mine for anything. My husband, my siblings, my parents..

I am wary of friends, they're full of jealousy. Don't lose your guards around them. For me, I no kukuma get friends. Don't have the energy to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Be prepared for the worst always because life happens. My hubby always calls me a strong woman.

In marriage, love alone is never enough. There will be stormy times that you need a massive strength of character to overcome. Love will only encourage you to start, can't finish the race for you.

Seek validation or endorsement from no one. Satisfy your conscience that you're doing the right thing. Everyone can tell right from wrong, so no excuse.

Be kind to people, a good deed has a way of coming back to find you.

Thank you.

I learnt a lot of things but i will just write down some
1)You can miss an opportunity for not expressing
yourself.
2) Man is the demon we read about in the Bible and Sunday school.
3)Real love only exists between mother and child.
(4) Money is everything, those who says money is not everything are either billionaires or foolish.
(5)Our parents will hid some truth from us because of religion stuffs and we will be affected in the future.
(6) Try to make your woman invest in you with money and sex
(7)Only you can save yourself

Your last statement struck me like lightning, indeed we are smarter but parents of this era will never agree. They still want us to follow their footsteps in achieving success forgetting the fact that change is permanent

Mental health is everything.

Family and personal worries has been a major factor for mental illness within young people. You might conclude that someone is not bright upstairs, not knowing he/she had millions of worries in their head. Some might be in class while their minds are reminiscing on love ones health. Imaging your mom has a fatal internal disease; how will you give your 100 percent to lectures? Mental health is something every country needs to campaign for; young people's future is rusting away.

Family orientation.

Most families today has rendered their children useless (unless miracle happens) they always suggest for their kids. Imaging withdrawing your kids from school just for them to start attending O'level lessons. That's why kids of nowadays will never do well in the tertiary institutions where they find themselves in. Why not allow your child to complete his/her education, what are you rushing?

:[ Even at my young age,
1. Life is nothing. Today u rich or poor, tomorrow we die. And all the wisdom and knowledge acquired fades away.
2. We already have sense organs, so no need for SENSE grin
3. The person you love so so much with your heart, will leave you someday. Either you accept it or not.
4. Grace level differs. Even some unbelievers have more grace than Christians. So pray for higher grace.
5. There's ntn in this world. What we fear most, will surely come and take us away.
6. Life is like yesterday. It won't repeat itself..
7. No one is greater. We all same esp in sight of God.
8. Never depend on anyone but God only.
9. Always love, respect, honour ur parents and do them well. They deserve all the credits.
10. We have a life of our own so use every single day you have wisely. Cos on the last day, you'll give account of it.
Finally, flee from immorality, fornication, adultery. It kills the human soul.

Here are some of the things I have learnt about life.

1. Don't expect people to be good to you because you are good and loving to them.

2. No one cares about you unconditionally except your parent or God.

3. Don't please man because you want their attention or their love.

4. Those who stood by you when u have little to nothing deserves everything once you have everything (Just your parent in most cases)

5. As a Nigerian, never put your hope on the government to give you the basic amenities you want. Instead, be your own government and continually work towards your success on a daily basis
