Actress Lydia Forson has jumped to the defense of seven Ejisuman Senior High School girls who were expelled from the school’s boarding house over a viral video.
In a video that surfaced online, the seven girls were heard encouraging girls to offer sex for material things.
The young girls also threatened to beat girls who refuse men sex after they take money from men.
Lydia Forson has told Ghanaians to stop the pretence because every student once misbehaved and was foolish while in school.
”First of all let’s stop with the pretence….Let’s stop that. You and I know we were up to a whole lot of foolishness when we were younger. We didn’t think it was foolish then but now when look back, it was very dumb. We did a lot of things that we are not so proud of now”, she said.
The actress added that the old generation got away with their foolishness because there were no cameras and social media to publicize the said foolishness.
”The only difference between us and children of today is social media. We didn’t have camera phones to record our foolishness. So we got away with it. We didn’t have social media to post our foolishness on”, she stated.
Lydia Forson believes that the youth must be educated on the dangers of social media rather than just criticizing them for misbehaving.
