CHANGE: It Starts with ME ♥

     Being a teenager is a strange and yet exciting part of life. We are faced with though and critical decisions each and every day-decisions that will affect our lives. Everyone goes through our youngster years, but as people get older, they seem to lose touch with their teenage experiences and feel as though they can't relate to anything that teenagers go through.

     We accept the fact that we constantly change as we go on through our youthful days. Many teenagers of today's generation are losing out of their way. They are most likely to be the banner news headline on newspapers and magazines, it is a BIG DAMN! Perhaps, not all teenagers are like that. As what Jose Rizal uttered, "The Youth are the HOPE of our Country". But why is it that teenagers are being aggressive, lock of self-reliance, and discipline?! For instance, we must admit that teenagers encounter problems in various conditions that they may not cope up. But I think those are basically a part of evolution and becoming adult. That   actually means that these things are not the real problems, but it is just the way of managing them. Many teenagers usually have problems with their parents, who don't understand their needs, meaning that they always want to be free with no obstacles, like a bird. In this case, parents are a branch that the little bird hits when it flies. Second, teenagers have problems with their friends. Friendships & relationships can be hard to receive, keep, and maintain. Things like gossip, rumors, and deception can ruin people in an instant. Third, peer pressure,there are a lot of things that may distract or tempt a teenager to do wrong things. Peer pressure can easily force teens to do smoking, sex and drugs. I think some of the hardest issues teenagers face are what's "acceptable" and what's "expected". Another problem are drugs which are taken frequently from nowadays. Sexuality is the leading problem and sometimes curiosity rules over them.

     Becoming a teenager is a very difficult process, because it is where a constant change affects our lives. It's hard to adapt the change quickly. But we must bear in mind that these problems are not as well good. We must be the MODEL, the LEADER, and the HOPE! We must have a CHANGE! No to bad habits..WE MUST CHANGE! Wake up youngsters of today's generation. The change starts with US! The change starts with ME.
