HOW TO AVOID SEX FOR GRADES AS A STUDENT.

 Sex for grades has now become conventional in most of our universities in Africa including the University of Ghana. Mostly female students are more vulnerable to these acts than male students. 

Studying to get good grades is a sacrifice and determination ( sleepless nights, balancing schedules among others). Some students even boost their grades to their friends that are because of the system applauding grades than what the students can do. 

Many females have been marked unfairly just because they did not accept to exchange their sex for the grades and this has proven to have a great negative impact on those female students.

study has shown that many female students who have been victims of sexual abuse in exchange for grades have mental health challenges such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.

. Have self-confidence.

Put more effort into your studies. Many have lost self-confidence in putting more effort to study some courses because they believe even if they do, the lecture will still ask for sex to make them pass.

. Don't go to the lecturer's office alone.

If in some cases you need to see him, go with your friend. Give him excuses if he invites you to a hotel or meets him alone. Don't be afraid of him.
