In Nigerian culture, its literally a custom for people to finish education before they actually find love. When you live in countries like the UK, your faced with pressure to be in a relationship especially when you see people younger than you with someone. But seeing as we're still schooling should it be right or wrong and do you think that customs should be broken if we're not living in Nigeria? Like they say; when in rome do as the romans do.

There ain't no culture to save you from the Falls or Winter cold.

I wont say you are totally right, because the word "CULTURE" is used out of context in this writeup. Like you writely said those societies are societies where young adults have liberty to explore and issues such as sex education which some people see as a taboo in our part of the world is being exposed to the young people in those societies. Moreover,most of the instances you might be referring dont end up as success stories, most of them are just what i'll term trial and error.
The thing with the Nigeria scenario is the case of pretence. We all pretend as if this things dont happen in Nigeria.

You've answered it all by yourself, if you are in Rome, you behave like Roman's if in Russia you behave like Russian's. The community where one finds itself, one must adapt with its way of life which is their culture.

so your telling me i should have a boyfriend and get distracted away from my studies? to be honest it depends on how much respect you have for yourself. and if in rome people go around killing each other, i must follow them and kill as well?
