Dear young black boy,

A letter to all our boys: 

DEAR YOUNG BLACK BOY/TEENS: 

I hope this letter finds you well. I want to take a moment to share something that has been on my heart because I care about you deeply and want the best for your future.

You are growing up so fast, and with that comes more freedom to make your own decisions. But with freedom comes responsibility, and the choices you make now will shape the life you live later. That’s why it’s so important to surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you and inspire you to reach your potential.

I know it can feel good to have friends who are fun or popular, but not everyone has your best interests at heart. Some friends may encourage you to do things that aren’t right or that could get you into trouble. True friends will want to see you succeed, make good decisions, and treat others with respect. They won’t lead you down a path that could hurt you or your future.

You are an intelligent, kind, and capable young man, and I believe in you. I know you have the strength to say no to negative influences and choose the path that will lead to success and happiness. It may not always be easy, but staying true to your values will always be worth it.

Take some time to think about the people you spend the most time with. Are they encouraging you to make good decisions? Do they support your goals? If the answer is no, it’s okay to step back and focus on relationships that are healthier for you. Remember, it’s better to have a few good friends than a lot of bad ones.

Please know that I am always here for you, no matter what. If you ever need advice or just someone to talk to, my door is always open. I love you, and I’m so proud of the person you are becoming. Keep making good choices and striving for the best, because you deserve it.

With all my love,  

Ms Olu

Please save this post for later and share it with any boy in your life. 

Please dear parents of boys, please share today’s this post/letter with your sons. Stay on your knees and keep praying for your children! You will not cry over any of your children in Jesus’ Name -Amen 🙏🏾❤️

May God answer our prayers
