The other day, my husband was sharing with me the news of a 20-year-old boy who strangled, dismembered and buried a 19-year-old girl in a shallow grave for ritual purposes after collecting N400,000 (Nigerian naira) from her parents. Horrendous stories like this and many more alike repeatedly cover the front pages of our newspapers, blogs and social media feeds.  Some of us (adults) read this news and just sigh and continue with our lives, not realizing that if we shut our mouth from speaking against these vices and also keep flooding the social media space (where teenagers are) with the truth, warning them about the dangers of living such destructive life, in order to curb this mayhem, our children may not be entirely safe.  You may be training your teenagers well, but how about the teenagers they mix with in school, in the neighborhood, church and other public places? This is why you must not only look out for your child, but seek the good of every teenager around you. &q
