Am 19 And Want To Live Like A Man. What Should I Do? by Ninetails: 5:23pm On Apr 03, 2022
I don't know if this is the right sections. But I believe this section is filled with matured minds.
Not long (this year) I turned 19 but all this while my parents have been keeping me indoor and isolated from friends in the name of We Don't want you to be with the bad Guys. that's not the issue, the thing is that am not working and that makes me feel so lazy. I mean I want to be working for what I eat and wear. I want to feel and be like some of my mates although I don't like their Lifestyle.
But now my question is that is it right if I leave home and stay with my uncle who stays alone and let me be Working under him?.
I mean it that right and will staying far from my family make me a better man?

Go and make a living for yourself but make sure you don’t thread the wrong path, every man should be financially independent as that’s what makes you a man, struggle hard so you can provide and care for your future girlfriend and eventually your wife and kids. May God be with you . Hope you’ve not started following girls? Are you still a virgin?

I understand very well your plight, me too am a final year student of a federal university, in my mid twenties about to graduate no skill yet amidst the high unemployment rate in the country. Pls all I ask for now is some one who will mentor me physically on any type of copywriting be it email, direct response, B2B copywriting. My location is orlu IMO state.

I think you should concentrate more on getting admission into the university than working.
Are you are at home because of the strike? If yes then enjoy your holidays grin

No worry Adult hood go tire you, but speaking of being responsible you can be in your parent house and still feel important use this opportunity to acquire lost of skills I mean lot of certifications you don't necessarily need to feel your bank or pocket but feel your brains build your mind.
You can learn Video production, music production Auxillary Nursing, go into IT enrol for a golf course or go into horse riding the last two option is easy when u leave in the North. Table tennis if u leave in Lagos surulere is your best bet for lon tennis all this activities makes you feel engage and a prospect for the future.

Do you understand that once you become this man you so much crave for, it will be more shameful to go back to the boy you use to be?

I won't say more than that.

Bro you better stay back with your parents cuz at least you're not paying for food and shelter yet. Things ain't rosy out there.

As for ur uncle, tho it depends sha but in this current state of Nigeria, it's very rare to find someone who isn't your parents that will feed you without complaining.


Find something and engage yourself.

Ok. Thanks for your Advice. My uncle took me like his son..... Sometimes I feel like his my dad since I was young(but he's not). I just feel free asking him for advice Everytime. So he says it's ok if I will stay. He can provide food and everything.

To enjoy being a child.

Once you become a man there's no coming back. Besides, hustling is not as easy as you think.

Parental support i.e. Money, food and shelter is very important.

You are just 19 years old.

Still a child who while has started making little decisions should still be under the coverage and protection of your parents.

Are your parents poor?

Biko enter university and learn a skill by the side (if interested).

Aiye tin dori kodo ke.

19 years talking of manhood.

Have you started going beards?

Birds of the same feathers flock together.

If all your friends are mocking you for your virginity, you might want to change them or add new ones who think alike in sexual matters.

1. I understand how you feel, but you should try to look at it like this; you're in boot camp. You're sacrificing and paying dues now. Study, research businesses, stay fit, and chill with girls discreetly. You can find a way. Your parents might be being extreme, but they'll relax over time.

2. Being on your own is just a distraction from preparing for your future. If you live with this uncle, sure you'll have girls come through, drink, and whatever. But that doesn't get you anything. Worse, you might get lazy, greedy, and start doing the wrong thing or mixing with the wrong people. Not worth it.

3. Lots of struggling young guys would love to be in your position. Use the opportunity.

4. Get a mentor. And network with ambitious peers.

5. This is temporary. You'll be alright.
