THE DEATH OF MY FRIEND

My friend was called KAMAU. I loved him so much and we played together in school and at home. We were born together and we grew up together.  After six years our parents told us that we would go to school. Everybody was happy.

 

After finishing school, he started going to clubs and discos and started taking beer and smoking. He also started coming home late. I decided to ask him, “Why are you taking drugs?”

 

He answered, “That is not your problem.” Then he continued his bad behaviour. One day I followed him until he got into the club with his friend. He saw a beautiful girl. He went near her and told her “I want you to be my girlfriend.” That girl said, “I know you love me but I don’t trust you.”

 

After one week she came back and told him, “I understand what you told me before so now I will be your girlfriend.” He said, “That is what I want.” That day, he told his girlfriend “I want to have sex with you.” After having sex without a condom, KAMAU had HIV/AIDS. After a few months, my friend died.

 

So I want to tell all the youth in KENYA and the whole world: you must know what you are doing and who you are doing it with.
