DRAMA SCRIPT — “CHOICES AND CONFUSION”

Introduction:
Year 10A is here to talk about the manipulation of children’s minds all because of seeing
people act differently, all in the name of LGBTQ.

Scene 1 — Debate: Family & Confusion (Act 1)

Abood: Lucas, you say your parents influenced you, but aren’t we all shaped by family?

Lucas: Yes, but it’s extreme for me. My mom started dating a woman after the divorce. My
dad… he revealed he always liked men. I’m caught in the middle.

Bilkisu: But you’re not them. You can decide for yourself.

Lucas: That’s the problem. Everywhere I turn, people tell me what I “should” feel.

Abood: So you’re saying you’ve lost your sense of right and wrong?

Lucas: I don’t even know anymore. Nothing feels normal.

“Abood Speech”

Scene 2 — Conversation Between Friends: Media Influence (Act 2)

(School courtyard. Y/N and Y/N sitting on a bench.)

Maria: Precious, I saw your post online. You seemed upset.

Precious: I watched a show. Two girls in love, and the comments said, “If you feel moved,
you’re probably gay.”

Mariam: That’s ridiculous. Feeling moved doesn’t define you.

Precious: But social media keeps pushing it. Everyone is expected to pick a side.

Maria: Just because a story moves you doesn’t mean you become that story.

Precious: I feel like I’m failing if I don’t “identify.”

Mariam: You’re not failing. You’re human. You feel empathy, that’s all. That doesn’t
define you

Maria Speech

Scene 3 — Classroom Discussion: “Born This Way” Debate (Act 3)

(Classroom. Y/N & Y/N & Y/N in discussion.)

Pheadra: People keep saying “born this way.” But what if it’s not that simple?

Elyana: Some are, some may feel influenced by their environment.


Enjay: Peer pressure, trends, family — they all plant seeds in your mind.

Olorire: Labels shouldn’t be forced. They confuse people who are still discovering
themselves.

Phaedra: But society tells me I have to pick a side immediately.

Amira: You don’t have to. You can take your time and think for yourself.

Elyana: You can respect others’ choices while making your own decisions.

Phaedra: I guess I just needed to hear that it’s okay not to follow the crowd.

(Olorire speech)

Scene 4

name: Sir, can we talk? The world feels… confusing.

teacher: Sit. What troubles you?

name: Everything is changing too fast. People argue about identity like fashion. Labels
everywhere.

name: And when we question it, we’re called old-school.

teacher: How does that make you feel?

name: Like truth is fading. Religion feels ignored. What was sin is now “freedom.”

name: Media is louder than scripture. Kids follow trends before they understand.

teacher: When entertainment teaches, faith becomes background noise.

name: Friends who prayed with us now say religion restricts them.

name: Every confusion we see—identity, trends, pressure to accept everything—

name: —is pulling people away from their foundation.

teacher: Faith isn’t gone, just replaced by confusion and new “truths.”

Name: Then we must remind people, respectfully.

Name: Take a stand. Speak up.

teacher : Go then with clarity, not anger. Hold faith like a lantern.

Scene 5 — Protest Scene / Group Realization (Final Act)

(School field. Students gather, holding signs, chanting. Confused but united.)
Abood: Everywhere I look, people are telling me what to feel, what to be…

Precious: I don’t even know who I am anymore.

Phaedra: Social media, peers, shows, even family… it’s all confusing!

Bilkisu: But maybe we can just decide for ourselves.

Olorire: Stop letting others define us.

Maria: Be who we are. Natural. Real. Not labels.

(They all raise fists, murmuring, confused but thinking together.)

ALL (together, chanting):


“We will not be forced! We will choose ourselves!”

Phaedra & Bilkisu Speech

(Everyone nods, stepping forward, unified, facing the audience.)

Uche Speech

Everyone: WE KNOW OUR PATH AND OUR LINE IS STRAIGHT
