No visits

Peer pressure

Lessons

“Vitu ambavyo nimejifunza ni shortcut. Ni kitu amabacho sitataka kijirudie katika Maisha yangu. Ni bora nifanye kitu ambacho kimenyooka au niuze hata nyanya lakini kufanya Maisha ya shortcut hapana. Sitokuwa na tamaa ya kitu chechote" said Sandra.

“Swala la madawa ni swala baya sana. Ni kitu ambacho nakijutia. Ni kitu kinahadhiri vijana wengi sana. wanafanya kukosa mambo yao. Mara ya kwanza sikujua hadhari zake lakini ni kitu kibaya sana kwa hivyo nawashauri vijana si kitu cha kufanya wala kutumia nimeona hadhari nyingi sana"
