Jaffna today
Culture and dignity is getting damaged in Jaffna nowadays. Sexual activities and political movements are the most uncontrollable issues in Jaffna today. It is not fare blaming the majority people for all the issues happening here. We are also playing a big role in all these corruptions. And more over the senior Tamil citizens leads the youths towards a spoiled life instead of a prosperous life.
I would like to take an event as an example to illustrate some of the issues that I am concerning.
There was a basketball tournament held in the last week in Jaffna. The finals of that tournament held last Saturday (20th of November, 2010) and the rest of the matches had held in the previous dates. There were 4 matches on that final day. And all of them started at 5.00 pm. There were two matches for girls and two for men. Apart from this there was an additional “Show Game” (Don’t know what was the reason of that game all in the middle of that tournament where girls are requested to stay there for the presentation) as well. And girls’ teams were forced to stay till latte night.
Many girls went home after 10.30 and most of their brothers or parents were not there and none of them have their own vehicles to get back home and none of the Jaffna Roads have enough street lights. More over none of the Jaffna roads are covering standard conditions.
So how can these girls get back to their residence? Is this common here nowadays? Or will they travel in groups? Or will they depend on their boyfriends? Or will they seek help from anonymous boys?
Many leading girls schools have participated in that tournament and most of their coaches are unmarried and between the ages of 20 to 25. They were seated with the team players (teen girls) in a single bench throughout the match where everybody’s’ attention was towards the match. And these coachers used to spent more time in practices and there will be more chance to have the team players without even monitored by any of their school teachers.
Let me raise some question?
What parents thinks of these children? Are they really caring their children or are they just wanted their female child to run away with any street boy?
What these schools and teachers are caring? Are they working as brokers? Or do they really care about their students and their sports? How can be a 20 year old basket ball player who represented a team which can’t even give a good fight in the National level schools basket ball tournament? Can you expect a 20 year (Jaffna sports related) boy to have a better maturity and self control in sex and emotions? Won’t it lead the teen girls fell in false attractions? And won’t it be an opportunity to mislead these young children?
And how can you expect students to care on their sports and studies with these provided sexual chances? These conditions are simply producing student pregnant.
(More over the referees were also with the age of 20+. Is it a healthy situation for sports in Jaffna? Isn’t there enough elders to take care of these things?)
I have received an unconfirmed information which says that average of 45 school girls are approaching the hospital for abortion and average of 15 girls from leading Jaffna town schools. And I am pretty sure that none of the politicians are having sex with these school girls and even if they do such things they knew all the tactics to do it safely which will not lead the girls to abortion.
Our senior citizens are the only reason for all these issues. But is there any newspapers or televisions take this issue to anywhere? They just are ready to blame any sort of political parties.
