I don't even know if i should start laughing or crying because of what happened to me years ago due to my bad behavior. It actually happened many years ago and it caused damages to me and i teased up the people around me. Well, i dont need to do anything about it just that it's in my memories and i can easily remember it. Here in our part of the world, we value respect a lot. While growing up as young children, we where taught to respect our seniors and, Aunt, sister senior is mainly for the ladies. While, Dede, (big brother) is for the men. So we identify each gender with such titles. Once you called your senior's by their names or disrespect them in anyway, you will be punished by them or either your parents. That means, they will allow our parents to come back, complain to them and they will discipline the wrongdoer. One day something came up.I was sent to an errand by one of my senior sisters. I was asked to wash the dishes and i felt that she should do it instead of me. So i didn't care to do the tasks and when she returned from the market and saw those dishes still dirty, she got angry 😡 with me and started scolding me. I kept quite at the start and started talking to her back. She gets more angry and hits me. Oh my goodness!! I slapped my senior sister. Big offense. I felt that my sister though my senior is bothering me with massages and that's why i didn't care to do what she asked me to do. Not only that, my parents always side me whenever my seniors scolds me unnecessarily or send me to somany errands when they aren't busy. All these things was coming up in my mind and that strengthen me not to wash the dishes. I thought it will still be the same this time around not knowing that it will be against me.My refusals not to wash the dishes was not actually my bad behavior rather, laying my fingers on my senior sisters chick. When my parents came back from work, they never supported me. It was seen as an insult and a bad behavior. Guess what was the repercussions? I was beating mercilessly that night and other of my younger siblings learned a lesson from what happened to me. I couldn't get up the following morning due to the punishment i received. I actually got the whole family members angry 😡.The next time i behaved badly was when i took my mother's money to school. When i was in secondary school, my mate's normally comes to school with money. Each time i asked mom for money, she won't give me. She will rather give me some biscuits at times because she sells it. I couldn't bear the intimidation of not coming to school with money. I started stealing from my mom. One day, i took a thousand NGN from mom's bag not knowing that she counted the money. When i came back from school, she didn't ask me if i stole money from her bag rather she asked me why i took a thousand Naira from her bag. I was surprised 😯 and couldn't lie to her. Though i said the truth but mom didn't let me go free. She thought me a lesson of my life. I was punished. She let me squat on the air and later i was flogged. All these was to stop me from stealing. Why i took the money is because i want to be like others. I didn't want to look different from my school mate's but the repercussions was a total mess to me. I actually made mom feel bad and i was punished because of that.
Bad behavior always leeds to punishment. Endeavor to behave well always
