I began to think to myself...
almost everyone I know or don't know
smokes, drinks, does illegal drugs, has under-aged sex...
I wondered why
Some people do it to be rebellious
Some want to be different
Some are afraid of conformation
but when you think about it...
They are conforming....because every one is doing it
So many teens use alcohol or weed to have fun
but then I think
how is that fun?
Unaware of what you actions are to be
"I am aware" they say
or "I know not to do that much"
then they do go over their limit
Why is it so fun to be out of your right mind?
Why is it so fun to not remember what happened yesterday?
I want to remember what happened yesterday.
I want to treasure my memories.
To much of us want to grow up too fast
and too much of us think of maturing as the wrong thing
Drinking doesn't make you mature.
Smoking doesn't make you mature.
Having sex doesn't make you mature.
Drinking doesn't gain you respect.
Smoking doesn't gain you respect.
Having sex doesn't gain you respect.
It does the opposite.
Teens take advantage of sex
Teens try to grow up so fast
Sex doesn't make you older
If it did
Rape and Molest victims would age faster
but they don't
I should know
no one takes these things seriously
Smoking
Drinking
Illegal drugs
'Legal' drugs
Under aged sex
Put these 5 rocks down and pick up 5 flowers
You don't have to be addicted to weed - be addicted to animals - cats, dogs, birds, horses
You don't have to be addicted to vodka - be addicted to cooking - spaghetti, chocolate cake, cookies
You don't have to be addicted to meth - be addicted to drawing - painting, creating, art
You don't have to be addicted to tobacco - be addicted to singing - play an instrument too
You don't have to be addicted to sex - be addicted to fashion
Parents, teachers, adults say that we can be whatever we want to be when we put out minds to it.
Well...we can't do that if we're high or drunk or working the streets can we?
