Alacrimia in Layman's terms is the congenital inability to produce tears.

   Some places in Africa have their norms and beliefs wrapped around age-old, blind superstitions. Especially the rural communities.

   So when a young girl comes from the city to the village, and it is discovered, through a series of unfortunate events, that she won't cry, even when induced, things take a downward spin for her, as she finds herself from Osun State to Kogi State, and then Enugu State.

$The Grey In Black And White {COMPLETED} by Dami_A_Johnson$

The teenage period is usually not always easy. You make mistakes, you learn from them. It's like a moulding phase towards adulthood, which tends to be harder than adults make it sound. Especially in this generation. Growing up in a society where having a psychological condition means you're a freak, abnormal or an attention seeker. Where gender inequality is still seen as normal and right. Where anything other than Heterosexuality means you're possessed or the spawn of the devil. Where showing your emotions as a guy means you're soft and weak, because toxic masculinity isn't seen as a problem. Also, having anything to do that's related to these "atrocities" means you're set for an even bigger social stigma. Being a teenager becomes harder than hard. Just a group of teenagers trying to find a place for themselves in midst of a backward society, realising that life can't be all black and white. Growing in an African home is hard but what's harder is being a Nigerian. O le gán. "It is better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you're not." -André Gide

Puberty by AfricanPrincess105

At night, the older sisters stayed up all night and usually talked about boys. They talked about some things that were not making sense. Their younger sister was just going through the early stages of puberty and would eavesdrop at every conversation. The process for her became hard, a comedy, dramatic and a journey of exploration as well as experimenting. ************* This is a true to life tale, of what most girls experience during the time they hit puberty. The sex education is never just enough and will never be enough but it becomes a complex bunch of curiosity.
