New Years

Now im sure no one wants too here it, but be safe!  New Years eve is all about partying and everyone knows it. Eveyone also knows that teens are going to go out and party.  But this year I think you should remeber bringing in the new year. So stay sober! Of course you need too be with your friends, and your boyfriend if you have one, but that doesnt mean you need too involve illigal substances. Along with drinks that are not for the teenage age group! Now once us teens become older and age appropriate then a few drinks are absolutley normal!

Taking people for granted

Have you ever felt like you were going to be able to see someone forever? That really no matter what you could see them whenever you want, say anything to them whenever you need too. Well thats not true. Today, we take everything we have for granted. Things happen in our lives that can change everything in a split second.You could lose that person , and realize you weren't treating them the way you should have . Maybe you didn't show them the respect they deserved, or maybe you didn't get to tell them that you loved them. So right now text, call or get a hold of someone that maybe you have taken for granted, because they aren't always going to be there.

"Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone"

Getting on the Right Track

Ever feel like you've mess up so bad and you just don't think you can ever fix it? Well you're wrong, because you can fix it. It'll be hard yeah, but you have to think is it really worth changing back to the way that you want.

You first have to realize what your doing that you just hate so much. Then you have to think of solutions on how to fix it. You wanna be able to fix the problem without having to completely change the person that you are.

Like for example say you were failing in school, and doing drugs, and skipping out on family occassions. When really you're the type of kid that gets straight A's. you think drugs are gross, and you'd rather be with your family then anywhere else.

Well you can easily fix all this. Ask yourself: "Why am I doing all of these?" "Where's these grades and this cigarette gonna get me in life?" those kind of question.

Soon you'll come to realize it's better to be health and happy then to be failing and funky. 

Laugh it Up! continued

Here's a little video to follow on the the "Laugh it UP" post. This video seems to have everyone laughing.

This kid is hilarious!

Cheating , is it okay?

Breakups. In highschool, you see them everyday. Does anyone else think that today in our society there are committment issues? If Boys are cheating on their girlfriends now at young ages, and see nothing wrong with it. How do you think it will be 5 years down the road, when some people are ready for a serious relationship? I think it is so sad, that the term "love" is thrown around like its nothing. No its not love if your just having sex. Thats not a relationship, and its sad, thats what most teens these days base there dating relationships on. & its even sadder when grown men cheat on their wives.It happens on a regular basis. Why are they starting out so young?

Good Decisions..Bad Decisions.

In life we all have to make decisions. They may be small or they may be life changing. As teens sometimes we have a problem with making bad decisions.We see other kids our age making the wrong choices, but it doesn't mean you have to follow them and do the same things. Thats why it's still a good idea to have parental guidance in the choices we make. Parents do know whats best, even if we think they are just trying to ruin our lives. Peer pressure: A HUGE issue for todays teens. We are tempted by drinking & partying, Sex, Drugs, Cigarettes, and just acting out. Now we may not think all of those things are wrong, but they could change your life for the worst if you make one bad decision. So its good to think before we act...You never know what the outcome of one bad decision could be.

Cyber Bullying

Now a days it's all about whats's happening online. Daily, teens and many adults are updating their facebook status, tweeting their families, and some still sending "Hey" on myspace. These social networks are meant to bring people together and to keep in touch with family and friends, but often they are not used for that.
Here lately these social networks have been full of gossip, drama, threats, just a bunch of Cyber Bullying.
This is very and and also very wrong. You may think you can't hurt someone because you aren't physical hitting them or say anything to their face, but it still hurts and is scary to kno that everytime you log into your account you have some mean words awaiting you.
Rates in Cyber Bulling were decreesing there for awhile and then they started to shoot high up.

If you log into your Facebook account what's the first thing you see? A post with 90 comments? Your first thought is to check it out, and you soon realize it's a fight between your friends. You're obviously gonna pick a side. Well that's the wrong thing to do. Here is a website that can help you know what to do.

Quotes of the Week

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending"

-Maria Robinson

This quote really makes me think, it really is the truth. If you don't like the way your life is going right now, make a change, or if you have had mistakes, make sure you don't make the same ones.

"Never be bullied into silence, never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life. Define Yourself."

-anonymous

This has to be one of my all time favorite quotes. It shows how you should be yourself, don't let anyone take away your independence & self reliance.

"If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan & guess what they have planned for you? Not much."

-Jim Rohn

I feel as though today we all plan our lives around one person, but we are so young. We never know what the future holds.So you better make a plan for yourself, so you don't have to live in someone else's plan.

Laugh it Up!

We all love a good laugh, expecially this time of year, where all joyous. Plus laughing is good for you! Laughing alone is a great workout, and thats just fantastic. See what it does is tightens and works your muscle in your stomach. Also laughing and being happy leads to a longer lived life. So I did some youtube searching and found a funny video. Just a little something that can brighten a day, and get us on track to being fit and happy.
Make sure you listen! Not just watch.

Moody Pants

Well here some advice that everyone can take, expecially us teenagers. Everyone has those moment where you just come completley angry, something bad has set you off. When that happends is we tend to take it out on someone else, and thats just horrible. Then that person usually just gets angry cause the way you acted towards them, which sets the mood for the rest of the day right? You all know what i mean! so all we end up with is a big chain of grumpy pants.

So we need to learn that just cause were having a bad moment doesnt mean we need too ruin things for someone else that could be having a fabulous day. Instead talk it out dont shout.

Violence in Relationships

Today, everyone needs to know how to take care of themselves. Whether what you're dealing with is physical or emotional abuse, from your parents or from your peers. I believe that every girl should take a self defense class. Lately I have seen that society seems to accept violence. In dating relationships I have seen guys hit their girlfriends, I have seen Mom's & Dad's hit their children. How wrong is that? Everyone needs to know how to protect themselves in case you must face these acts of violence.

Books- You say No Way! I say Yes Way!

Most teenagers these days dont read! I must say its crazy. Please take advice, teen to teen, reading is fun! Plus with the way people are these days a lot of time we just dont have anything to do. Forever older people have been telling us that instead of watching television to go outside or read a book. Well I absolutley love TV and cannot give that up.  But lets be honest, sometimes there is just nothing on TV that apeals to us.  Now instead of sleeping or just stairing at the wall, or even getting youself into trouble, just pick up a book.

And today there are so many good books out. Im currenty reading "That White Girl". Its a crazy good book, plus its more for my age to read. Its amazing how many book there are. So many of them people would love if they would just give reading a chance. It really is fun to get lost in a book. And if your a slow reader, it really helps a lot. Also it opens you up to words you didnt even know before, so that just makes you smarter to your friends.
Now lets all start reading, I bet you will like it!
