Speak up when you should!, Keeping quiet has never helped anyone

I learnt something else today, when things go wrong, always speak up , for example, you have a misunderstanding with whoever it may be and then you choose to be tight-lipped about the issue whenever you are asked.



whoever among you two that is talking gets to have a higher hand because you decided to be quiet thereby relinquishing the power to the other person even if he is wrong.

A truth that isn't spoken is as good as you being a liar. let me play out a scenerio for you now.

A virgin girl suddenly turns up pregnant. Everyone is asking what happened?explain? and all she did was keep quiet or she gives you a feeble "i don't know". The guy who is her boyfriend now happens to be the one talking even though he did say a lot of unreasonable things which amongst them was that his girlfriend slept around.
Everyone blamed her, even her family did but can you fault them?

Her defense to what the boyfriend said about her was weak "that is what he told you? no problem" was all she could give.

What was this girl problem?
She kept quiet at a time she was supposed to talk so people could speak in her defense. she only decided to open up two years later, at that point the baby was already a year and four months and the guy was nowhere to be found. At that point, the story was rather useless to the family and was clearly no longer needed.

People often say what is past should remain in the past but is that the solution.
A lot of disgrace would have been avoided if this girl had said something to someone, things wouldn't have been so rough for her.

Speak up when you should!
Say something when you can!
Keeping quiet has never helped anyone,it won't start with you!
Save yourself shame!
Save yourself disgrace!
Open up!
The time to speak and say something is now!!!
