Remember the last girl, the queen who saved me from heartbreak, the girl who was to die for, the one I was afraid to love because of what I encountered in my past, the one who showed me the bright side of life...?
Well she taught me that,
Everyone changes, you just have to give them time
And the right crowd they will change

There comes a point in life where one goes through a lot of stuff at once,
And in my matric year I felt that.
I knew that this was the time for me to plan my future.
Because everyone had their eyes on me,
Family members were waiting to see my exam number on the newspaper.
Pressure causes stress
And if you cannot deal with the pressure
You most likely to give up on whatever you are doing.

Sometimes parents make being in the 12th grade seem like an arranged marriage,
They make it seem like you're not doing this for you but your family's name.
Which may be the reason why most children end up running away from home if their
Names/exam numbers aren't on the newspaper on the day of
The results because they are afraid of facing their parents,
The parents who will tell them how disappointed they are,
How they see the child as a disgrace.
When they should be comforting the child and being there for them,
In every step...not only matric, but every time a child fails, parents should be there for their children. This issue of children finding happiness in the streets should end,
Parents need to listen to their children and know that they are also humans and not robots,
They make mistakes and they must learn.
