Elephant in the room

Each and every individual has that topic or discussion he/she avoids, even though they know it is something that they need to deal with. They can't get way from it although it is making them uncomfortable.

For instance in most black families it is still a taboo to speak about sex, although the parents know that they should be talking about it to their children. But some how they tend to avoid the topic. Most black parents say they feel uncomfortable when such topic comes up. They know that their children are being thought and told about sex each and every day.

The topic is unavoidable...
