Hint: Fashion designers weren’t in the room when those gowns were made.

Where are the love letters hidden under desks or in school bags? The only thing kids do now is to chat with each other. I received my first love letter in JSS 3. Unfortunately, my mum found it when washing my bag. She punished me at home, took the letter to school, and made me read it in front of the entire assembly when I refused to reveal who had written it to me. Now that I think about it, I chopped cane for someone who started liking another girl in SSS 1. But I was in love, and Gen Alpha needs to experience that too. I’m not even sure what my point is. Maybe we should all encourage our nieces and nephews to start writing love letters” — Folake. Your story could be the next one featured here.
