Dear counselor, I live with my hubby’s sister who is in her form six vacation. She is 18 years old, well behaved and respectful. Last month she told me she wanted to talk to me about something but was shy to do so. So I gave her time.
Dear counselor,
I live with my hubby’s sister who is in her form six vacation. She is 18 years old, well behaved and respectful. Last month she told me she wanted to talk to me about something but was shy to do so. So I gave her time.
Recently, I asked her about it when we were alone. She said she needed guidance and that she wanted to start family planning because she has a boyfriend (who is the same age) that she loves.
The boy however seems to be the one pressuring her because I believe she is a virgin. She seems so naïve about this stuff and I know it is not right for her to get into something like this at her age. But I understand teenage love all too well and fear that she might do something stupid because she doesn’t want to lose the guy.
She asked me not to tell her brother. How can I go about this?
Susan
