SPONSORED BY YOUR SILENCE
<p style="text-align: justify; "><br/></p> <p style="text-align: justify; ">They all seem to be good till they’re not. I wouldn’t pick a fallen apple I’d rather look at the tree than pick a rotten one. Not all who wear a suit, a senator, or dress like wannabe Gen-zs are actually here to teach. Some of them just feed on the innocence of children whether you’re grown or you’re a minor as long as they’re under that banner “academic staff” trust me they can do anything literally so don’t think because you go to their office to collect AC or you go there to charge your phone so you’re guaranteed safety or anything of such, whether married or single most of them are predators . </p><p style="text-align: justify; "><br/></p> <p style="text-align: justify; ">Remember that line “police is your friend” hmm you’ll know better if you live in Nigeria. Eat pray love my foot. A child’s educational dreams and hopes can turn to ashes overnight just because they said NO and stood by it without compromise or a show of fear. Gone are the days when people stood up for what they believe and others supported them and the rest speak out, in this “academic game” it’s speak at your own risk because in case you don’t know, someone is watching so closely they could almost touch you. </p> <p style="text-align: justify; ">They laugh with you during lectures and answer your questions like scholars who have been to take and are over qualified for the job but they’re actually who you’re scared to see in the modern world. Some of us grew up thinking that monsters lived under our bed and not out in the world with people in open spaces but I’m sure we’re now growing to see that monsters can buy you lunch and greet you good morning with their motives still intact.</p> <p style="text-align: justify; ">Abuse isn’t just someone forcing their way with you NO, it’s the way they look at you, smile at you, talk to you, or even gesticulate. It doesn’t have to be loudly expressive for it to be traumatizing. So yes sometimes it happens not how we want it to. It can even be in form of a text. The painful part is the moment you speak about it you start getting failed or worse you get a continuous extra year while these people eat out and wine with their families like they aren’t slowing down someone else’s destiny. Yes we have a system but what use is a system if it’s going to be the brain behind the loss of life or a trauma trigger?</p> <p style="text-align: justify; ">Whatever gender you are, you would have felt this pain before in one way or the other and you will also support when I say being “ normal” again can sometimes take forever and for some they live with the tragedies till they can no longer take it. But I dare ask for how long are we going to stay quiet and allow our silence sponsor the ego of these wild sharks? Yes I get, speaking about it feels like adding salt to an injury but who knows what someone else out there is going through? Or what will happen to the womb of someone you know if they keep aborting so many children every semester just so they can “stay alive” or “top the class?”. It might not happen to you directly but abuse is real and someone you know is going through it so please treat this topic with sensitivity because many have lost their voice to this silence. Not every demon wears an ugly hat...some will even make you doubt.</p><p style="text-align: justify; "><br/></p> <p style="text-align: justify; ">~Grayceiy</p>
