Erotic scenes in schools: The evil of a generation

In recent years, Some young people (pupils and students) to make people talk about them indulge in obscene practices in places reserved for their academic training. Eroticism is one of those practices that these learners engage in. Behavior that appeals to more than one.

Many colleges and universities have recently been transformed into places of immoral practice. At the origin of this situation, young pupils and students, the majority of whom are adolescents or young people who have recently crossed the threshold of adolescence. By questioning the reasons which push these young people to engage in such a practice which tarnishes their image but also that of the establishments or university institutes welcoming them, we see that for the most part, unconsciousness and mimicry rule them.

These practices do not leave Beninese citizens indifferent, this is the case of Armande P. student in a university institute who, moreover, a few years ago faced these pornographic scenes. For the latter "It is a reality today, pupils and students indulge in erotic scenes in their educational environment and this should alert everyone. Car, it does not respond to any social logic ”. She thinks there are various reasons for this practice, while claiming that many are following it.. "The follow-up", that's also what Marie C thinks. student at the University of Abomey-Calavi. Besides followingism, the latter talks about bad company, naivety and an inordinate desire to talk about oneself. "These young people are oblivious to the actions they are taking and for the most part have no idea of ​​the consequences thereof", says the student of 23 years.

Today, new information and communication technologies expose young people to several facts at an early stage. What leads to them, the desire to reproduce what is seen on the different platforms and therefore obviously the erotic scenes.

Parents are undoubtedly the first educators of these young people. But what can be the influence of these funds when we know that children spend more time in colleges and universities than at home? ? For Théodora N., “We must not blame the parents. At first glance, many of them play their role of educator perfectly but the street and the Ntic at one point take over ". She recalls that "Most of the time these acts are committed during the hours of exposure or failing to read the lessons or rest, learners prefer to watch pornographic films and want to do it too. At the moment, the parents are not there ”. Compared to Theodora, other people find that the family base is a failure. This is the case of Armande P. who affirms that "there is a relaxation which is noticeable at the level of the parents and especially at the level of family education which is no longer a priority for some guardians. Concerned about the responsibilities of the family, parents find it difficult to control what children do at home, in the street and at school ". The imbalance in the influence of guardians is also the reason put forward by Gustave H.. English teacher "The inability of parents to be able to look after the children is the first cause of what is observed. Already at home when a child uses the phone without the parents knowing there is a problem. For others, they no longer even have control over their children's lives and they do what they want. If the game is to change the parents of today must play their role in a different way. Because technological evolution is a force of resistance which repels our values ​​", he explains. The same observation is made with the Beninese journalist and activist Hermione Ligan who wonders "where is the world going?" ? ». To believe it, unconsciousness has become an asset of youth and family education is taking a hit, but you have to see the situation from another angle. Because she said "We are talking about clandestine sexuality among young people for the most part adolescent. Moral and social values ​​are no longer respected ”. This is why she insists that parents have a very big role to play "But educators in our colleges and universities must bring their expertise. The media are also challenged and must reserve sensitization and awareness programs in the program schedule.. Regarding television channels, the content of programs must take into account the needs of young people ”.

 " Too, the various civil society organizations and those for the protection of minors and human rights are concerned by this fight which aims to eradicate what we can qualify as the scourge of our society, by raising awareness but also by repressing those who continue to indulge in these scenes in establishments ", she said while noting that "the responsibility is beautiful and well shared. We must eradicate these acts which do not honor our country Benin. Real measures must be taken to prevent the development of the phenomenon ".

Given the extent of this practice in establishments, authorities, educators, activists, media men and parents must join forces in order to be able to stop the bleeding. As for the actors of these acts, the search for pleasure or buzz should not take precedence over the principles of life in society.. A failed act today can be compromising tomorrow.
