Its a shame that many girls do not know how to say no to boys who make sexual advances on
them. Some girls say no yet still use non verbal actions that suggest a “yes.” What do you think
the boy will believe? Boys assume that “noi a half hearted yes’ suid the minister for social and
welfare development. For example, when a girl says ‘I don’t think we should do it! while
looking down atthe floor, eating her fingers or killing an unseen insect, her ‘no’ does not get
across. Why don’t you say ‘no’ while looking directly into the boy’s face? There are some gils
who don not know how to explain themselves when they are asked by boys why they have
refused – they start laughing instead of saying ‘no’ and meaning it. For girs to be valued by
others, they have to value themselves firs. Remember, there are many “hit’ and ‘run’ boys who
are only afler sex. Please say ‘no’ to them, and mean ‘no.” You will be preventing pregnancy,
HIV/AIDS, and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Look out for your future, mean what
you say, if is “yes then say it knowing what you are getting into, and if itis ‘no it must be a
strong ‘No’!
