A Letter For My Fellow Teenagers

A Letter For My Fellow Teenagers
Alicia Sansone

To my fellow teenagers,

My teenage years are almost over. By next year I will be in my twenties, but that doesn't mean I can't give everyone else advice. I know how hard it is to feel left out, different, weird, exc. I actually left school because of that. After leaving school I have found vital information I never knew. Here are three steps I think every teenager should follow.

Step 1: Listen To Your Parents

It's hard to let your mom or dad tell you when to be home, where you can go and can't, when you feel like you are an adult. Actual the truth is no matter how much you feel like it your not. Your mom and dad always know what is right for you!

Step 2: Do The Right Things

When peer pressure hits do not give in! It will get you in so much more danger than you were already in. Saying no may make others hate. If that is true, they never needed to be in your life. A true friend doesn't push you into things you don not want to do.

Step 3: Just Say No!

No matter what everyone needs to keep the word "NO" in the middle of teenage life. If it's peer pressure, or guys always remember everything you do is your choice. Bad Choices can be made easily. The right choice may be a tough path but worth the trouble!

Just try to remember these three steps. The way you decide to make the choice will make up who you are. I know it is easy to say yes but you mean so much more than what others may see. Every little and big thing you do in high school may just lead to the way you act the rest of your life. From as little as what you wear to saying no will make you the better or worse person.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
