"When did you start putting on makeup?" Chisom asked, watching her roommate struggle to apply mascara.

"Lately," Danielle replied, still focused on the mirror.

"I don't know what this is, but you have to stop it," Chisom said, getting out of bed. She slipped into her fluffy pink slippers and walked into the bathroom.

"Are you jealous of me?" Danielle shouted after her.

Chisom burst into laughter.

A few minutes later, she came out, wiping her face with a towel. Standing akimbo, she looked at her roommate, who now resembled a runaway clown.

"Why would I be jealous of you?"

"Then why are you opposing my choice of appearance?" Danielle asked, trying to fix her hair.

"You're changing yourself to fit into that flashy group you joined last week. You're trying to please them, but you're displeasing yourself. In the end, you'll only confuse yourself," Chisom said, climbing back into bed.

Danielle pouted, silently reflecting on what Chisom had just said.

Have you ever found yourself doing things you normally wouldn’t, just to fit in or impress others?

Maybe you’ve compromised your values or changed your appearance — not because you wanted to, but because you were afraid of being left out.

Here’s the truth:

People-pleasers often try to satisfy everyone but end up pleasing no one. The people you're trying so hard to impress may never be satisfied — and worse, they might even see you as fake. At the end of the day, you lose yourself.

So don't live to please people.

Be true to yourself. That’s where real confidence lies.

History: A Guide to the Present and the Future.

The study of the past to understand the present and predict the future is the sole purpose of history. Yet, it is quite unfortunate that many who study history fail to learn its lessons.

Time and time again, century after century, people keep making the same mistakes their forefathers made. They pass down these mistakes—knowingly or unknowingly—to their children, who in turn pass them to the next generation.

Historical mistakes don’t just lie in matters of health; they affect all aspects of life. A society that doesn’t learn from history is bound to keep moving in circles, repeating old patterns and handing them over to future generations.

So, learn from history. Don’t just memorize historical names and dates. Understand the why, the how, and the consequences. History is the study of the past, to understand the present and predict the future.

So do you just know history and not learn the lessons?

"You're pregnant?" Abigail whispered causing several heads to stare at the table where they both sat. The librarian who was few inches away from them gave the hush sign.
“Sorry,” Abigail muttered then lowering her voice she said to Gladys.
"So... who's the father?"

Gladys swallowed hard “That’s the problem. I don’t even know.”
Abigail gave her a disgusted stare “So you were sleeping around?”
“No. Yes. I don’t know,” she answered, her voice shaking.
She lowered her head and began to sob.

“My parents will kill me if they find out. I’m confused. I don’t know what to do.”
Abigail sighed and rubbed her back. “It’s okay, Gladys. Stop crying because crying won’t change anything.”
“So what do I do now?”
Abigail hesitated, then whispered, “Well… you could abort it.”
“That’s absurd,” Gladys replied.
“Well… do what you want. But that’s the only thing I can suggest.”

_______
Out of fear? Or simply looking for a solution Gladys took the advice.

She aborted the baby.

But she ended up with a damaged womb.
A future she didn’t plan and a pain she didn’t pray for.

________
This is fictional story however it’s a reflection of what many girls go through.
They make a mistake—and instead of seeking help, they cover it with another one.

Sexual immorality is still wrong—no matter how glamorous it looks.
No matter how many people normalize it.
No matter how curious you are.
And no, abortion isn’t “freedom”—it’s a deeper wound.

God’s word says:
“Flee youthful lusts…” — 2 Timothy 2:22
