The new normal has come with a lot of strict health guidelines that individuals must follow. It is important to understand that Adolescent are more likely to engage themselves in good or abusive relationships during winter. It goes without stating that `prevention is better than cure`.
Imparting knowledge about health relationships can be so helpful to young people in that when the clock of puberty ticks often many try to experiment the taste of life. Research has shown that a good number of girls were impregnated during their time in examination classes. However, where right information is passed on consistently, girls will be able to tighten their defense by avoiding sharp shooters who might torn the net of their dignity and pride. 
Social distancing has become part of our vocabulary and practice. This intervention must be an advantageous stance for the girl child who might be thinking of risking her opportunity to focus on her studies. It is a good measure that will protect her from being bothered by sugar daddies and young boys who may not even contribute anything towards her goals.

In high spirit girls must set and work towards their goals that will break the boundaries of male dominated society in the leadership circle. 
Mentoring boys and young men too on the importance of empowering girls and women must not be concealed. The society must function in a manner were its members experience equal rights and opportunities for all. 
Seeking the right information of how to cope up with emotions from people one can trust is key.
