    “What is wrong about sex anyway?” Although she comes from a traditional family in rural Kenya, 21 year-old Jane speaks freely about the support she gets from two older guys. Watch all 3 of our "Sugar" films now: http://bit.ly/africaeyesugar pic.twitter.com/vJUYRLkw0V

        Hiding it makes it right... Please we all know so many girls living lavish for stupid things. Vacations, expensive bills

        Those lavish lifestyle dont make it right. It's time some women realize n respect their body....they could get to the top not by selling themselves. #Dignity

        I am yet to see @BBCAfrica document young girls with decent and good moral upbringing. Those are the ones that could be real role models to all other girls. Think good about the world guys. Think good thoughts for my Africa!

        This is abnormal in the highest level. Married men talking to girls about their issues. And promoting prostitution BBC should talk about the plight of the girl child in our society rather than promote this angle of immorality

        Oh hey, well-done @BBC, you just normalized Sugar Daddies for all the teenagers across the globe! Like it's the most normal teen-thing to do! She admits that those exploitative men have families, yet she doesn't see it wrong. Instagram is going to create a morality apocalypse!

        On a second thought, if BBC wanted to report the rise in % of Sugar Daddies, you could have brought in a psychologist to give perspective. Or bring in activists/NGOs who work in this area to give insight about how to tackle this problem, instead of glorifying it as the new norm!

        Its sad how this are the kind of 'role models' that get glorified and not girls who have self start up businesses and get their own money like they are telling young girls to look for sugar daddies ,get STDS,break families instead of building on their own WTF

        Yep, there was a time when people didn't blindly believe what's being said online. Now, anything media outlets project as new norm/trend - is trusted as is, & also because people find it convenient. The whole idea of let's work hard & get what we want - is replaced by easy-money.
