Straight<br />
Talk<br />
with P.E.A<br />
Hello P.E.A; I am an SHS Graduate, all my<br />
friends have boyfriends and I feel left out.<br />
They keep laughing at me for still being a<br />
virgin, and call me funny names, the pressure<br />
to get a boyfriend is too much, what should<br />
I do? #GLADYS<br />
Hello Gladys, it’s quite an interesting<br />
thing that your friend’s laugh at and scorn<br />
your honor. Its however neither surprising<br />
nor uncommon. The fact that all your<br />
friends have boyfriends doesn’t mean you<br />
should get one too. You do not need a boy<br />
to complete you or make you fit in. Maybe<br />
you’re trying to fit into the wrong crowd.<br />
First of all, you need to define yourself for<br />
you. Who are you? What have you got in<br />
you? What are your potentials? What’s your<br />
future like? And therefore; what are your<br />
standards? Your standards, based on the<br />
Word of God, must not be compromised<br />
for anyone or anything. You are beautiful,<br />
special and very unique as a person.<br />
You don’t need to be anyone’s girlfriend<br />
to fit in, you just need to be you. That’s<br />
completeness… That’s perfection.<br />
Hello P.E.A I am a guy of 17 years,<br />
unfortunately I have become addicted to<br />
porn, a day doesn’t go by, that I do not<br />
watch, I masturbate all the time, what can<br />
I do to stop? I need to stop this. Because I<br />
am aware it will not help me. Also it does<br />
not please God. And I really want to please<br />
Him. #RICHARD<br />
Heya! Richiee dear, I think your desire<br />
to please God with your life at this age is very<br />
remarkable. However, as you may very well<br />
know, desire does not always culminate in<br />
results, it requires deliberate action. What do<br />
you need to do to stop? Simple- JUST STOP!!!<br />
Watching porn is not a passive, but rather an<br />
active deed. So just stop. Don’t do it. Anytime<br />
you feel the strong desire to watch porn and<br />
masturbate, HOLD YOURSELF IN!!! Also,<br />
one way to get rid of old habits is by replacing<br />
them with good ones. Get yourself involved<br />
in positive activities that would enhance your<br />
potentials. You should also begin to regulate your<br />
thoughts. Culture your mind to navigate away<br />
from thoughts that would arouse a desire for<br />
porn in you. The more you do this, the less the<br />
desire for the wrong things will become and you<br />
will overcome that addiction. More so, as you<br />
pray in the Spirit, your spirit will be edified and<br />
you’ll subdue the negative tendencies of the body.<br />
Be strong. You’ve got this.<br />
Hello P.E.A; I am a lady of 18 years of age and<br />
recently completed SHS. I recently found out<br />
my best friend was going out with a married<br />
man. This man showers her with gifts and a lot<br />
of money. She has financial challenges at home.<br />
However I do not think that is reason enough for<br />
her actions. I have tried talking to her severally,<br />
but to no avail. Of late she avoids me totally<br />
saying she doesn’t want me to “preach” to her.<br />
Her attitude has changed considerably. And I feel<br />
like I am losing her, and yet I am to do something<br />
to help her. Please help me out here. I am at my<br />
wits end. #ALBERTA<br />
First of all, Alberta, take a deep breath,<br />
