Will I get AIDS and die?
13.JUL.07
Editor: Young people, how many of us will get AIDS this carnival season? Do you know? Is it me? Is it you?
How many of us will get a STD that is incurable?
Is it me? Is it you?
Well, I hope not me, because I staying away from the drinking/drug use and from promiscuity, which can wreck my life.{{more}}
If my friends doing drugs or having sex, that is their problem, because I going to school and I know better.
You think AIDS easy? Boy! If I get AIDS what will happen to me? I canât buy medicine because neither I nor my family has money. Where will I go? I guess is hospital will pick me up. I donât want to even imagine the sores all over my body, my head, hands, eyes, soles of my feet, blindness, oh my God…This is scary. I canât get AIDS, I am still young. I have my whole life ahead of me.
Let me tell you. I have a choice and I choose to live.
If I go to carnival I will behave myself, not just for me, but for my family, and my country because everyone is affected by my choice, whether it is good or bad. Just think young people, older ones too, think about what you doing. AIDS kills.
Some of us think that condoms will help us be safe because we plan to be promiscuous this carnival season. But condoms break. Do you know who you are having sex with? Does the person have AIDS? No! How do you know? There are some people out there deliberately spreading this virus. Will I be one of his/her targets? Will I get AIDS or other STDs this carnival season? I do not want to throw away a life full of good prospectus and for what? Ten days of fun? My life is worth more.
Casual drinking/using drugs, can lead to drunkenness, which can make a person commit irrational and unforgivable crimes and can lead to jail. Oh Lord! Save me from jail.
Promiscuous sex, can lead to a life of pain for you and others because of the consequences associated with it. Unwanted pregnancies, AIDS and other STDs. Can you handle that?
You know, God knew what He was saying for the Bible says that Sex is for a husband and a wife ONLY. He was protecting me today from all hurt associated with it not being used in the right way. Lots of other people have made mistakes. I donât have to make them too.
Stand up man! You can say No! Who you trying to please? Your friends, your brethren, your buddies? Always do the right even when no one is watching. Youâll be better for it. You might save your own life.
Please think before you act this carnival season and any other time you are about to make any decisions. Remember, it can mean the difference between life and death. Choose life. Live!
