Sex can wait…

Dear Killa,

I am 16 and in my first relationship. My boyfriend and I attend the same high school and we are both Christians. He is very cute and quiet. So far, we haven’t even kissed. We both want to take things slow- focus on our school work and do well in our exams. It is our opinion that sex can wait. But two girls in my class have started to pressure my boyfriend. They tell him about all the things they can do to him (sexually) and they bad mouth me. Sometimes when they say these things to my boyfriend, I can see that he is a little curious. He says that I am not to worry, but I am afraid I will lose him if I don’t try to do some of the things they tell my boyfriend about. Please help me.

A We Sey Bleaching?

Dear Killa,

I am a teacher working with high school students and I have been noticing that many of our youth (male and female) are using cake soap on their face. They rub the soap on their face during the break and some of them leave it on all day. It is quite distressing because they don’t seem to understand the ramifications of what they are doing. They just want to be ‘cool’- like it says in the Kartel song. How can we get our young people to see the error of their ways? I am asking celebrity DJs like you to speak out against this issue.

Dear Teacher,

Mi nuh know how dem man yah fi talk bout dem a run di place and how dem a badman! A bleach dem face, and a cream dem hair, inna tight pants. Bun out dem bumboclaat!
