To Teenagers

Surviving or survival skills for teenagers can at times be difficult or even hard; this does not always have to be this way. This process or this phase of teenager’s lives can be a lot less difficult and safer if teenagers are guided and given the skills necessary as they strive towards independence and self-motivation.

It is imperative that in present day society that you have or seek out positive role models and mentors to help guide you through these very important years. You do not have to do this alone. Gaining life skills are of utmost importance if there isn’t good role modeling in your homes or around you. You must never settle for less. Look at your teachers, leaders in the churches around, police officers, heads of state, and so on.

There is corruption in every walk of life and on every level of society. This is when you find your spiritual side and live as closely to a power outside of yourself that is greater than you (maybe God). If religion doesn’t work for you, then always do the next right thing and if you don’t know what this should look like ask somebody, and not just anybody, but someone that has knowledge, power, strength, wisdom, understanding, and compassion. Someone that will be there for you no matter what; that will be there for you when you need them.

Teenagers, seek out people that are positive and making positive changes in their community. This is about your life. You are important. You matter to your community and that others can look up to you.

Life does next have to be a series of dead end streets. You must always lift your head up high and see that the sky is the limit. You can be happy, joyous, and free. You must ultimately work hard and remember that there can be limitless possibilities for you.

So with all the above in mind, teenagers stay positive, be healthy make wise choices, and you were meant to be here because YOU ARE IMPORTANT!!! and YOU MATTER!!!
