Teenagers and our lives

There is always a time in our lives where we want to feel safe. We want to know that someone really cares and loves us as human beings. As teenagers we of course tend to do stupid things. Yet, we still want to be loved. Have you ever heard of the term peer pressure? lots of teens go through this in their lives. Whether you are being pressured to try a new drug that all your friends are doing, or just something that is out of your comfort zone. Everyone has a story. You hear your friends or other teenagers talking about sex and how good it is. Teens try to make sex seem  as if it is okay to try it. Well it is not. You may be pressured into experiencing sex for the first time. For both male and female.

Did you know that peer pressure is also another form of bullying? In my high school that I used to attend, you would see kids all over each other. Kissing in front of adults. Cussing with confidence and strutting their way across the campus with pregnant bellies. Where is the fun in that? It is so hard to try to keep your self motivated from sinking into peer pressure because so many people try to make you do things you don't like. Our teachers and our schools lecture us abut bullying and sex and peer pressure. However, it made no affect.Kids still sleep around, get pregnant sink into peer pressure.

What is the point of telling someone the downfalls of what they do, if they are not going to take it into consideration? That is why teens should tell teens. Let a friend know what they are doing is wrong. That you only care for their safety and their well being, like I care for yours. Teenagers set example for the younger generation. If they see us engaging in  inappropriate activity, they are going to follow into our footsteps. Bullying takes a big part out of our lives that keeps us from growing as humans. If we can help decrease the bullying and increase the positive things in life, we will have a stronger bond.

Why not take a chance in life  to do something good. Do something that will inspire someone else. Do something that will put a smile on other kids. Do something that will promote outstanding behavior. Once you start doing something good, people will follow behind you. Be a leader! post a comment of what you feel should be done.
