Tahidi High
Citizen television
25-1-2010
The programmme premise was sex among the youth. According to the programme pemarital sex is caused by lazy parents who do not supervise and communicate their children and lack of supervision and from the school.
The programme montage was a virtual classroom.
The transition from one scene to the next was the image super music then dialogue.
The plot unfolded as someone put a condom in Eddies bag. The midpoint was when Shish is discovered to have birth control pills. She was given the pills by her mother who suspected that she is sexually active.
The themes that were brought out include
HIV/AIDS
Teens are not ready for the consequences of sex
Lack of communication between parents and their children
Teen pregnancy
There were several adverts that were aired.
I did not feel that they complemented the programme.
These were
Omo
Always
Eno
Blue triangle cement
Mpesa safaricom
Jik
Safaricom super ongea
The always advert was incorporated in the script. The characters strongly endorsed the product.
