1. Learn to live and partner with another adult, to pursue common goals and activities. This should be a roommate or close relative rather than a romantic interest or another person of the opposite sex.
2. Learn to understand the opposite sex outside romantic situations. Observe the common and uncommon habits and characteristics of your friends and relatives of the opposite sex in your daily life, so that you can get some understanding before a romantic haze hits.

A child is left at the mercy of an older person and the adult leverages the child's ignorance to finger them or rape them even.

Seniority & Superiority is power (factor in African upbringing)
Money is power
Knowledge is power
Being in public and having public approval is a kind of power too.

When we decide to preserve ourselves and get into the superior role in our lives, we get emPOWERED.
