You will always have the opposite sex around you. You will have them as parents, siblings, neighbours, teachers, bosses, life partners, playmates, classmates, course mates, siblings and most especially as friends. Since it is impossible to do without each other, it is needless putting up efforts to avoid the other gender. If you must learn anything at all, it is how to relate well with no regrets. It is how to keep a good, safe, cordial and non-romantic friendship with the opposite sex. This is what parents should also invest their time to instil into their wards.
