Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Actress, Beverly Afaglo is raising awareness about the critical importance of addressing the modern lifestyle of today’s youth, commonly known as Gen Z.
The Ghanaian actress expressed concern about the high frequency of weed smoking, drinking, and casual sex among young individuals. Beverly Afaglo expressed this issue while being interviewed by Nana Romeo on Accra 100.FM.
Beverly’s worry reinforces findings from The National Institutes of Health’s “Monitoring the Future” survey, which has been monitoring the attitudes and behaviors of young adults since 1975 and has shown worrisome patterns in substance use among Americans aged 19 to 30.
Asked what advice she would leave for the youth, she said, “The smoking and the drinking is too much. For those of us who were born in the 80s, our time, when you hear someone smokes, it means they are so bad as truants.
“It’s ok. The world is exposed now, and weed is not seen as something that bad, but you are too young to engage in things like that. It has now become a common lifestyle that they smoke and drink a lot, with some renting AirBnB for parties to do so many bad things that they can’t remember the next day,” she lamented.
The wife of musician Choirmaster, who is a mother of two, is also puzzled by the decrease in volume when discussing HIV.
“I get so worried about HIV that it is not loud anymore; when we were growing up, HIV was in our faces on TV. We were seeing people sick and losing weight drastically. You wouldn’t be like that, so you won’t engage in these things, but the kids of today, they understand HIV can be well managed now, so they are not bothered,” she said.
