During your path to find where you belong in life is such a great task.Your parents teach you that stealing is wrong,and that sex is out of the question,and that even drugs are illegal.You are who determines what to do,and what not to do,but peer pressure knocks right at your door.You can let it win,or you can fight it of and say the one thing that most kids have a hard time saying,and that word is "no".Just plain out no.
You try your best to fit in,by the name brand clothes,and the popular kids,and you are 80% of the time ready to go the extra mile if your friends are doing it,you do not want to look bad in front of them.
That is where stealing,sex,drugs,and whatever follows comes from.You are who determines,what people will think about you.growing up is the hardest thing that a person in life has to go through.
When you are a baby you are took care of by your parents,they bath you,feed you,and keep you from harm,and as you matture you go through different stages.Satges to which your parents no longer have a answer to and no matter how much they still want to keep you safe,it is out of the option.You have to search deep in your soul,and remeber what they have tought you,and try to remember,how much they love you.
