We Cannot Control What Others Do To

Teenagers Are People Too!

You Have To Press Against The Pressure That’s Pressing Against You!

Dread, Which Is Closely Related To Fear, Steals The Ability To Enjoy Ordinary Life And Makes People Anxious About The Future. It Keeps Them From Looking Forward To The Next Day, The Next Month, Or The Next Decade.

Contentment With Life Is Not A Feeling, But It Is A Decision We Must Make. Contentment Does Not Mean That We Never Want To See Change Or Improvement, But It Does Mean We Can Be Happy Where We Are And Will Do The Best We Can With What We Have. It Also Means We Will Maintain An Attitude That Allows Us To Enjoy The Gift Of Life.

When I Was A Teenager, I Didn't Get To Do A Lot Of The Things That Other Kids My Age Were Doing Because My Dad Was Very Controlling And He Wouldn't Allow Me To Go To School Activities, Like Games And Dances. So I Didn't Have Positive Expectations For My Future Or Really Dream About What I Could Do With My Life. I Was Just Trying To Survive Until I Could Get Out On My Own.
