Idk man🥴graduates who are not industry employed or who are completely unemployed started a trend that I believe could have given them a chance to be recognised by employers/recruiters BUT you guys with employment, apartments and cars are also hopping in??
Why??
There's a schoolgirl, probably 14/15, who passes by my house every morning and afternoon carrying a little child on her back, along with her schoolbag and the child's nappy bag, she's been doing this since around March this year.
This morning, I noticed the little one is growing and even trying to walk, and doesn't want to be carried, he was screaming whenever the girl tried to carry him. I finally asked if he was hers, and she said he's her younger brother and I asked uphi umama, she said that their mother leaves for work at 4am.
My heart really broke for this little girl 💔. As parents, we need to allow children to be children instead of making them responsible for raising their younger siblings. I sincerely hope their mother finds alternative arrangements next year. A 15-year-old should be focusing on her education and enjoying her childhood, not carrying the responsibilities of a parent.
I understand that life is difficult and many families are struggling, but perhaps we also need to be more mindful about bringing children into the world when we cannot provide for their care.
Listen to the problems of today's youth...
My daughter’s Chinese classmate & best friend (a proper Bedfordview kid, read RICH) got an emergency callout to a private hospital last night to translate for a VIP Chinese patient flown in from Zim on a private jet for a cardio emergency.
I’m eavesdropping on them right and this child is whining. Why? Because sitting there translating was "boring" and it’s "interfering with his holiday rest."
His rate? $200 an hour. He did three hours last night and might have to suffer through another shift today.
Somebody please check on these kids, the trauma of making R11,000 in 3 hours is really taking a toll. 💀😂
It’s genuinely terrifying seeing adults justify age gaps by saying “the age of consent is 16”. It exists so TEENAGERS can have consenting relationships with EACH OTHER, not you, you filthy scum in your 30s.
