The diary of a Nigerian teen

Getting Advice

Dear diary,
I know I said I'd ask adults around for advice but I haven't quite figured out who to ask. I would've asked my mum but I don't know how she'd take it. I remember my sisters told me that my mum asked about their boyfriends when they turned 18 and I'm just 16, i don't think she'd even want to hear the word boyfriend from me.
I can't ask my sisters because they might tell my mum, I can't ask my church counselor because she'd definitely see me as a bad girl and my dad is totally out of my options.
I am beginning to think that I don't have anyone to ask for advice except my friends, the ones who know how I feel. People who understand what I'm going through because they are going through the same thing. I don't like any boy yet but I feel like it can happen anytime soon and I want to be prepared when it does.
I have friends I can talk to, Male and female. I think that's my best option. At least they won't judge me and I'm sure they'd understand me better so tommorow morning, I'll text my friends and ask them what they think about me getting a boyfriend.
That's it for today diary, I will write as soon as my friends give me their opinions.

So Temilola didn't go to her parents or sisters because she's worried that they'll think of her as a bad girl. I personally have had worries like that, scared that my family would criticize me or see me in a different light so I just sucked it up and kept my questions to myself.
Temilola has decided to ask her friends, God knows what kind of advice they'll give her 😅😅
