There giving free time , there are many things that one can do. You may engage yourself in those activities that make a positive contribution to someone else’s life. Majority of young people tend to do things that have a negative impact on their life. They tend to go for parties where they end being influenced to abusing drugs. It is, therefore, important for a young person to plan how to use his/her free time in a constructive way. I usually use my free time in a different way from what majority of young people do. I usually take part in sporting activities, community service activities such as planting trees. It is not an easy thing to spend free time in a constructive way, due to peer influence.

Lying

Telling lies is something common among people. Though, it is costly to tell a lie when one is forced to lie. In some circumstances, one is forced to reason that telling lies is right.

Later the person I had lied to realized that I had lied to him. It was costly to earn his trust again. Lies sometimes help us to get what we want but in the long run it is painful. One has to pay for his lies in one point in time. Telling lies makes one a slave by truth set one free.

Children are an important asset that parents possess. It is a duty of every parent to shield his/her children from those things that my harm their lives.

Children should also be shielded from the cultural activities that have negative influence upon their health such as female genital mutilation. Children should also be protected from engaging themselves in crime. Criminal activities impact the relationships between them and other members of the society in a negative way.
