Students and ‘couple’s life’

Most students in higher institutions today live as couples in the same apartment. This is known as couple’s life. Living as a couple is fun for them. They never see it as a crime. But to me, it is.

How could a male and female that are not of the same blood live under the same roof? You are not helping yourself. It has a lot of disadvantages.

For example, two young people cannot be living as a couple and concentrate on their studies. People of the same sex living together as friends may have problem in their studies if care is not taken, not to talk of those cohabiting as  couples.

Females that involve in the practice have lost their pride.  Women are meant to be reserved: we should not lose our dignity. Students living as couples  often end up regretting their action because it is rare to live as couples and get married to each other.

The effects of cohabitation are mostly felt by the female. Males only suffer minor consequences. Students should stop cohabitation.
