Lily I agree with you parenting plays an important role. alhmadulilah we are on the same boat.. But, Lily sis as somalis we didn't have much choice. So we have to strive to make sure our kids dnt get wet even though they are in that ocean lol. It might seem impossible. But, anything is possible if parents work hard and spend quality time with their kids.

^^I understand that many middle east countries nowadays are becoming more wild and more similar to the west. But, the west is still more extreme in those ways. The culture in the middle east and in the west are two different things walaal. The arab culture promotes haya/respect. am sure a girl and a guy can't walk outside holding hand, kissing, and whatever. dnt get me wrong am not saying everything is so perfect in the arab countries or muslims countries. Just relativity. You simply have that culture thats keeping you away from those certain things. Just like back home in Somalia from what I heard people were not religious prior to the war but there was still that culture. salaam

good video

Ng in the west kids are encouraged where in the muslim countries kids are discouraged from such things...do you see the difference...we are not talking abt hormones or whatever..but just that kids are raised differently and how environment plays an important role in how a child turns out. and what good did it do anyways? in the west kids have abortions in huge numbers?.... alhmadulilah the deen tells you either get married or just stay away from such things. if a 15 yrs old kid wants to have a bf/gf.There's no room in our deen for such lifestyle. so they would have to get married and live with their decision. Even though personally I think a 15 yrs old kid who was raised in the west wouldn't be ready both mentally and physically to have a family. Not to mention financially... salaam

Ngonge walaal am sure the same kid in high school in saudi arabia wouldn't walk around clinging to his bf/gf and think its normal? ..... Never underestimate one's environment.... American/canadian or western public schools promote certain life style. And, that life style comes against our beliefs/deen. Not to mention the media makes things even worse. I have 8 yrs old sister and when I watch her shows with her, you would think they are cartoons and you know so innocent. But, stay put for half an hour and here pops out the theme of dating? do you see where am getting at? am talking abt the community that we live with and the life style they are teaching our kids? But, given that we have no choice. As somali we fled our country and most arab countries are not even immigrant friendly. We have to do the most with what we have....and deal with it the best possible. A related video... The boifriend and girlfriends issue-- Baba Ali.. salaam

I guess if one is pursuing a relationship with the intention of marriage...you can get to know the person while still maintaining your deen and staying away from things allah swt prohibited. mostly in this video they are talking abt kids in highschool.Its that time when kids are most prone to western influence and deviating frm the right path when they are all looking to just fit in. perhaps one good solution would be taking your kids to islamic schools or private schools. Honestly, public schools is what promotes such things as bfs and filth. I was just walking the other day besides the local high school and honestly you wonder if theres some law that goes "hey you kids you cant walk alone make sure you walk with ur bf/gf to look cool LOL" salaam

interesting discussion.... The lady wearing the orange dress was saying that she wanted her daughter at home all the time? But you know allowing your high school girl to hang out with her friends who happen to be girls is not a problem as long as you give her a curfew. Life is about trust, and you have to learn to trust your kids. As for her point against the boyfriend, I agree with her am on the same boat as her. Whats the definition of boyfriend, on the western definition it basically means you have a husband without the vows aint it? And am glad she did not take it lightly…as for the other lady who was saying how parents went out and stuff at night and did “dhaanto” that’s also haraam and its like clubbing. Even though, she forgets that Somali culture was a little bit more conserved and most of Somali girls were cultured and there was some sort of boundaries that they did not cross. Still am not justifying it dhaanto or whatever you call it and mixing men and women and dancing in the middle of the night is still haraam. If hypothetically speaking I make a mistake would I want my kids to make the same mistake?ofcourse not. So both ladies were at the two different extremes ….one has to be in the middle and understand what religion allows and what it doesn’t. A young girl needs to have fun and hang out with her friends. And, if you teach your child the deen you should be able to trust them for three hours or so to hang out with their friends at somewhere you know..they should be able to tell you that today in the evening me and my girls we are hanging out there so and so’s place. Just my 2 cents.. The rest of you solers can share ur thoughts… salaam
