Cass and the Condom

My brother got into college! Not that I didn't think he would, I just can not believe that he is getting so old.
So I was making a list of things that I think he would need, you know like more underwear and a mini fridge when he jokingly suggested condoms.
Ugh, I had been thinking about that, seriously since he was like thirteen. Luckily my brother is an angel compared to the niggaz he grew up around and the ones I went to college with myself, so nothing had to be said until now.
I don't know! The whole thing makes me nervous. I was already disgusted by the fact that my younger, immature cousins were having sex, but the thought of my brother with some skanky college girl with a greasy weave and a fat booty makes me want to put my hand in a blender.
Why don't we teach the kids to be abstinent anymore? I mean, I know that it's impractical and I know that it's supposedly different for boys, but if he messes up, he'll end up eighteen with cornrolls working the night shift at WalMart and sleeping in his car before classes. If he gets a girl pregnant or gets an STD, I just don't think he is old enough to understand how quickly and horribly his life will change. All I think is on his mind is scenes from pornos and trashy love song lyrics.
As you well know, I do not and have not had sex, and even though it' gets irritating, I understand that my life is easier because of this decision and I wish my brother would make the same choice. OK, I know that that's wishful thinking. So next week, wearing all black and sunglasses, I guess I will go get him so condoms. Gross.

omg. I understand, cause me and one of my cousins had to have a 'talk'. Not that she was trying to have sex (she is only 12) but no one is telling her about abstinece. I think the problem is that we start trying to explain the whole patience and consequence stuff when it is too late. She has been a Christian (by her own choice) since 7, and was pretty receptive. I hate the thought of my younger family members getting down as well, but I would rather talk to them early than to help them buy baby stuff.

True dat Taryn, true dat. I don't know what I would do if my brother got some girl pregnant.
