All Bout Teens!

Calling alll teens!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-06-20T12:00:00.000-07:00

This world needs help! I was surfing the net the other day, and I came upon lots of sites basically just for teens, and I was disgusted. All the sites i searched was all about young teenage girls getting nude and doing pornography, and some other really disgusting things. I was so stunned. I knew people were crazy, but I didn't know there were sooooooo many. It was really heart- breaking. Going through, I realised that if so many are like that, that's why it's reallly hard 4 some teens 2 still remain clean and sane. They felt so free and okay exposing themselves! At my school, I know ther are lots of girls like that, but they are not so bold as to show themselves to the whole world! This world is going down, and I dont think its gonna come up again. People need help, but where on earth is it gonna come from if everyone is soooooooo messed up? Its up to you to make a difference, please do!!!!!

Your Self

2006-06-15T14:11:00.000-07:00

The other day when I heard this statement, " Your self worth determines your self esteem", I was like "heck no". Later on thinking about it, I realised that IT WAS TRUE! What you believe you are worth is what others believe you to be. Let's say, you put yourself down a lot,other people see you as someone not worth it, and they put you down also. But if its the other way around, you gain respect, and others see you as someone worth their time! Either way, what you gain, either good or bad IS your self-esteem. So you determine HOW others think about you, you, yes YOU determine your self-esteem. So go ahead, take your stand in your actions, your beliefs and whatever, whether it's in a negative or a positive way, and how you present yourself is what they see you as. Sooooo, what are you gonna do. Remember, everything pays in the long run!

Did you know?

2006-06-13T12:51:00.000-07:00

Did you know that every single thing that has ever been done on Earth originated from a thought? I'm sure you didnt, well neither did I. Sitting back the other day, taking a survey of things, was when I realised this. To be able to do anything, you first think on it, before you act on it. And all the great and evil things ever done in this World came from a thought. So, what do you want your thought to be? You determine your tomorrow!

Teenage pregnancy and Romance novels

2006-05-09T11:13:00.000-07:00

Now this is something that gets everyone's attention, "Romance novels". I do not read romance novels. Lots of my friends at school do, and sometimes when I ask them why they say " It's educational"! I wonder, how they believe that, they just say that to be clear. I believe that when you are old enough, those books actually dont do you any harm, but as a child, or a younger thing, they go a long way. As the saying goes, "Everything originates from a thought", so while reading the books and getting to the passionate scenes, you begin to have thoughts, "What will it be like", "How will it feel", and through that you desire to have sex. Then the first guy you think you are in love with, since you have those desires, you jump into bed with. You may end up with a pregnancy, and you may not, but whichever one, you have already been messed up! I know some of you probably disagree with me, but I think teenage pregnancy is partly from romance novels. If you disagree, leave a comment with ur reason.

Aaaaaaaah school again

2006-05-03T13:26:00.000-07:00

I have been on holiday for like a month, and then school had to resume! I am in the 11th grade, and at my school, it is really tiring. Personally, I hate school and anything that has to do with it, but i try to do well in it because I need it. Uggggggggggggh! Anyways as I was saying school just resumed yesterday and I realised all over again that being a teenager is a hard task- I will be glad to be over with it! LOL! Well we have a new principal at school and with a new principal comes new rules, lots of them! So you can see how I am coping.
Well it might be awhile before I will be here, and then again, it might not. So whenever I drop by again, I'l continue with the topics.
LATERZZZZZZZZZZZ Y'ALL

The origin of sagging

2006-05-02T13:57:00.000-07:00

I heard the other day, that sagging actually came from prison! When I heard it, believe me I was really shocked. I felt that for pete's sake, why would normal people go copy what came out of a jailhouse! Okay, to cut the story short, I found out that in prison due to the lack of belts, the prisoners had to wear their trousers low, in other words, they sagged their trousers! I think that maybe when they got out, being so used to the idea, they went around without their belts, and someone picked it up! As the saying goes "Mistake in one country, become fashion in another". Thereby through this process, sagging came about.
Imagine free people signifying that they are prisoners through sagging!

And you think...

2006-04-29T15:51:00.000-07:00

You think your parents hate you! A little while back, there were times when I felt that my parents were always picking on me, and they were actually out to get me, to keep me from having a nice time. Most times I'd just go sit in a corner and sing a stupid song I learnt titled "Nobody likes me", and through this I kind of formed a complex towards my parents. When they referred to me, I had this mindset that they actually hated me. It got so bad that I began to think I was adopted! Finally, I realised that I had to let go of this, and when I finally did, It felt good to love my parents again, because not knowing, I had begun showing hatred towards them. Can you imagine what came from the little thought, " My parents hate me". Y'all out there who are rebellious to your parents, and you feel that they are out to get you, you are dead wrong! See what happened to me! Just from a little thought, I got messed up, and hated everyone. Don't say it doesn't matter, because it does! As the saying goes,"Little drops make a mighty ocean".
I gotta go to bed now, am so zonked out. Talk to you later
hate
respect

More on teenage pregnancy-To the girlfriends

2006-04-25T15:13:00.000-07:00

To you girls, why would you jump into bed with someone just because he's your boyfriend, OR simply because you wanna know how it feels, OR you feel you need somebody to love OR you THINK you are in love with him! You girls out there who go on about having pre-marital sex, I feel that STUPID is too good a word 2 describe you! I know this days it is hard to find girls who are still virgins, and you might feel that you dont want to be left out and you want to know how it feels, but believe me, you lose your self-esteem by jumping into bed, and gain self-respect both from guys and girls by abstaining from it! Besides how do you know that because other girls you know have not gotten pregnant, you will not. This adventure may lead you to a life-changing experience. Also, you may feel that I've done it lots of times, and this time wont really make a difference. WHAT HAPPPENS IF IT DOES? WHAT HAPPPENS WHEN YOU ARE LEFT WITH A PREGNANCY? Do you really believe your lover is going to accept the pregnancy. Believe me, those cases are RARE! So now, since he does not want the baby, you are left with two options:
1. You have the baby, and you are left with the shame of having a baby out of wedlock, and the hardship of being a single mum, because your man aint going to support you.
2. You abort the baby, and live with th guilt of killing someone, no matter how hard you try to shake it off.

GIRL, ABSTAINING LEADS TO SELF-RESPECT IN THE LONG-RUN

More on teenage pregnancy-To the boyfriends

2006-04-25T14:48:00.000-07:00

To the guys, what happens when your girlfriend is pregnant, and you are left with a child on your hands. Tell me, WHAT HAPPENS? You do what you feel is better for your image, and what pleases you-You reject the pregnancy, and say the baby isn't yours when you are pretty sure you are the only one she's ever had sex with, and you are the father! I think you are a BIG FAT COWARD! You were man enough to sleep with her, but not man enough to take the responsibilities that sometimes comes with your actions! You have your priorities all mixed up. If I were you I'd be a real man, by taking responsibility for my actions, I wouldn't just tell her off with the mind-set that it is her body, therefore her call! Or better still, to be out of all this, ABSTAIN FROM PRE-MARITAL SEX, because just once can change your life FOREVER!

Am back!- More about teenage pregnancy!

2006-04-24T10:26:00.000-07:00

Wow! It feels so good to be back here. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! I just feel like screaming away. Well I remember in my last topic I was asking what causes teenage pregnancy, and I got someone make a comment, and what really got me was something about condoms not feeling good.This probably is true, but I wonder, why have sex anyway? How can people just jump into bed with someone just because he/she's their boyfriend/girlfriend, and they think that they are in love!

MY ADVICE TO ALL OF YOU IS ABSTAIN FROM SEX, BECAUSE YOU DONT WANNA BE A MOTHER AT YOUR LITTLE AGE, AND BESIDES, AIDS IS REAL!

One more thing!

2006-04-07T13:54:00.000-07:00

Before i go, I want to ask a question. What do u think causes teenage pregnancy? I know a lot of people have different views, so I want to know yours
WHAT DO YOU THINK CAUSES TEENAGE PREGNANCY?

Stepped in

2006-04-07T13:25:00.000-07:00

I just stepped in to let you all know that this a period where everyone has a say. You can read all the posts and comment on them. This is really like an interractive discussion. You've heard what I have to say, so its your turn to say what you want to say. Well i'l be waitin! I'll be back in some days to continue talking. So now... TAAAAAALLLLLLLLKKKKKKKKK!

Your turn

2006-04-04T15:43:00.000-07:00

Wel y'all, its your turn now. I have been writing, and talking from my own point of view. Now its time for me to give you the ground, and see things through your perspective and a different point of view. So I'l check up on you in a couple of days, and see what you've contributed.

I really got to leave now, or I'l fall asleep right here, plus I'v got to go to school tomorrow, and its REALLY late

Your parent's word stands, whether you like it or not!

2006-04-04T04:30:00.000-07:00

Sometimes, there are some things that my friends do that I am not allowed to do, and a lot of times, I wonder WHY? It is simply because I have been brought up taught that some particular things are wrong or not allowed, and this so happens to be some of them. I used to think that my parents were being totally unfair, but I learnt that their rules were only there because they were concerned about my well-being. Let's say over at a friend's house, they are allowed to have a friend of the opposite sex over when their parents are not around, but at your house that is so not allowed. Then when you begin to dwell on this, you begin to show anger(which sooner or later becomes hatred) towards your parents, and your respect for them depreciates. I call this being totally and entirely STUPID! For pete's sake, why dont you look at the things you're allowed to do, and your friends are not! You might say, "THERE'S NOTHING MY FRIEND IS NOT ALLOWED TO DO, THEIR PARENTS ALLOW THEM TO DO ANYTHING". HOW ARE YOU SO SURE? Just because they portray themselves in that manner doesn't mean it's true! Did you ever think of that? I doubt it. Even if they are allowed to do anything, why cant you just stop, and thank your parents for the things that you are allowed to do, or why dont you just realize, that the only purpose for all their rules is for your well-being. YOUR WELL-BEING? YES! YOUR WELL-BEING! Your parents are not just out to get you, they only want what's best for you. Why cant you just grasp that!Listening to, and obeying your parents rules is the right thing to do, no matter how hard it may seem at first, it gets easier as you go on, and what it really earns you is self-respect, and mehn, that feels good, really good! So no matter what stick by their rules, it'll get you somewhere in life!

You think you are helping your kids by shielding them?

2006-04-01T16:31:00.000-08:00

At times, protecting your teenager from the dangers in this world, may seem the best thing to do, just because you dont want them to make the same mistakes you made. Look here, I know how much you love your kids because my parents really love me too, but they let me make my own mistakes. When you shield your kids a whole lot, from realities, they want to find out for themselves what you keep "so secret" and a "no-go topic", and when they ask you, their parents, you just shy away from the topic. When this happens they really get curious, because as kids, they want to find out why some topics are kept so secret. Believe me, tell your kids that there is a lot of sex in this world, that a lot of people out there want to just use them, and they should not go into drugs because all it does is kill them, and they should not go into drinking or smoking because it just messes up your system, and keeps you ill for life. I personally believe that when they all learn this from you, things will be a lot easier and better for you OR when you dont raise up this topics, they go to the wrong people to find out what all these things are, and most times they dont only teach them, they also show them. WOULD YOU PREFER THIS TO HAPPEN TO YOUR KIDS? Word of advice- when they come to you asking about the meaning of "sex", dont get scared and say you have to shield them, because whether you like it or not, they are growwing, so sit them down and talk to them, answer all their questions, and just be there for them! THIS IS THE REAL WAY TO SHIELD THEM! Sooo... I really got to go, because it's really late where I stay, and I AM EXHAUSTED! Later alligators! (and you are supposed to say, "In awhile crocodile")

Listen, these are important!

2006-03-31T08:04:00.000-08:00

I know a lot of teens identified with that poem, and you may think, 'HOW CAN I MAKE A DIFFERENCE? HOW CAN I BE THE DIFFERENCE? Well here's a news flash for you " Turning up your light in the presence of those whose light is dim becomes the difference that makes the difference. Once you remember this in whatever circumstance you find yourself I know that you can make it.
Before i leave, let me chip in something to parents about your kids. If I were a parent, I'l trust my kids and believe what they say, but I'l still be cautious. There are a lot of parents out there who when they are told anything nasty about their kids' behavior towards others, they take offense that whoever it is, is out to get their "sweet" kids, when their only concern is to help your kid! Please, this is kinda insane! Why dont you take offense when somethind good is said about your kids, that your child is treated partially, and this isn't fair to the other kids. As a teen, I know there are a lot of things that I've done in this life, that my parents know nothing about, and seeing that all teenagers in this world go through the same problems, no matter their country or race, your kid is just the same as the next child. So... dont believe your teens all saints and goody two shoes because whether you like it or not, most are not! So when something is said about your kid, take it, study your child's character and thru that you will know whether or not it is true. In so doing you are helping your kid. You destroy their lives by taking offense with whatever is said and sooner than you can take it, it will be too late, and your kid'l most likely be lost FOREVER.

The way growing teens feel

2006-03-31T07:17:00.000-08:00

Just before I finished my exams, I went on a trip and I happened to come across a book belonging to a friend titled "Chicken soup for teenagers", written by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Kimberly Kirberger. While reading the book, I came across a poem which really meant a lot to me, and this is how it goes:
The Leader
If only they knew how hard it is for me.
I'm turning 16, the world I begin to see.
My friends began to change, right before my eyes,
and now they seem to laugh, and tell all sorts of lies.
They hang around in groups of three or four;
the language they use...it isn't so gentle anymore.
The kids that seem most lonely wind up in their pack,
and those that stand alone, they talk behind their back.
Somehow I feel rejected because I dont conform.
Those that step to their own beat dont seem to be the norm.
I'v watched a few fade away, with drugs and alcohol;
and many more have given up. too many to recall.
Alcohol is an option for everyone in my school.
I've lost a friend to boooze again; I will not be a fool.
And sex, it seems so open, for everyone to explore.
Three girls I know that came to school don't come here anymore.
If only I could make a difference, what could I do or say?
I would go to school and try my best each and every day.
There is one thing I'd like to do before i graduate.
I'd like to touch them one by one before it is too late!

Hey

2006-03-31T06:56:00.000-08:00

Wel it's been awhile. Sorry y'all, I was having exams, so I did not really have time for anything, I was just reading and all. AM THROUGH NOW. So now, I have time to play and talk and talk and talk to y'all. Well i got to go now, but I'l be back before you know it.
LATERZ!

Notice to all teenagers!

2006-03-04T07:07:00.000-08:00

is dDoes this ever happen to you? There are times when you feel like what are you living for? What is there to gain in this life? And you just feel like wasting your days! You go partying, shopping, you hang out with friends just to take time, because you feel like you have all the time in the world! So instead of wasting your time and feeeling like these are your teen years and you are supposed to enjoy them to the maximum, and be as irresponsible as you can get, why not look for a job somewhere, or help your parents around your home and try to be responsible and DIFFERENT from your peers!
Believe me, being different is worthwhile! HOW DO I KNOW? I PRACTICE IT! BECAUSE I AM JUST A TEENAGER LIKE YOU TOO!

Your opinion matters

2006-03-04T03:49:00.000-08:00

It is soooo good to be here again. Sooo, where was I? Oh i remember! I was talking about how the word ' teenager ' came into existence. Before i go on though, I need to know what you think. I need your opinion to go on, because YOUR OPINION MATTERS!

Did you know?

2006-02-28T03:54:00.000-08:00

Did you know that the word "teenagers" was never in the English vocabulary. The word came into existence when Elvis Presley came on the scene. Before, once you turned 13, you were considered an adult with duties you had to perform. Normally at the age of 13, you were considered old enough to carry your own load, without expecting others to still baby you around and pay your way through whatever you were doing or had to do. The word implies that when you reach the years in your life that ends with" -teen"(like 13- thirteen, 14-fourteen etc) you are in a loafing period where you can do whatever you want, and just be as irresponsible as you can get, leaning on your parents for whatever you want and just living life in a lacadesical manner. This is actually what the teen years represent, and what teenagers are this days. This is their life now!
HOW SAD!

Peer Pressure

2006-02-28T03:04:00.000-08:00

Someone said that parent-children relationships are necessary because it saves a lot of kids from heart aches and misery. I TOTALLY BELIEVE THAT! My reason? The existence of peer pressure. No matter who you are, we get to the age when we begin to care about what our friends, the guy or girls( depending on your sex), and the "in-crowd" think about us, when we never really cared for their opinion!This is peer presssure! Going through school 5 days of a week, I go through a lot of peer pressure.Sometimes my friends want me do things that are not so bad to them, but things that I have been brought up knowing they are wrong, and sometimes I think " WHY AM I SO DIFFERNT? WHY CANT I DO THINGS OTHERS DO? WHY CANT I JUST DO THIS JUST THIS ONCE? THEY DONT HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT IT! Then thinking for awhile i choose to do "what my parents have taught me" or "what my friends want me to do" . What would you do? YOUR VIEW ON THINGS MATTER!

Your kids are becoming teens

2006-02-25T15:27:00.000-08:00

Parents wonder what happens to their kids when they get to middle school and high school. It's like they dont want to do stuff they loved before, they shirk from their responsibilities, they realise they are maturing, and feel like all you are good at is bugging them, they think they can sass you around, and basically feel that all you just want to do is ruin their life. You begin to wonder, WHAT ON EARTH WENT WRONG? The answer is SIMPLE.THEY ARE GROWING UP! AND GOING THROUGH LIFE THE WAY THEY THINK IS RIGHT! So ALL parents should try to understand them, and help through it all, and just be there for their kids.

Teenagers

2006-02-25T15:09:00.000-08:00

TEENAGERS this days, think it weird to maintain personal relationshiips with their parents. They have the idea that its not the in-thing so they would rather be caught sassing their parents than being nice and respectful to them. I personally think this is very sad because your parents were sent into the world before you to show you the right path! If YOU dont maintain this relationship with them, when you reach the age of maturity,and you start feeling self-conscious and aware of the opposite sex, and your friends in school or on your jobs start pressuring you to do things you have been taught not to do, or you just have a hard time going through school-life, WHO DO YOU LEAN ON TO? Since you dont relate TO YOUR PARENTS, your problems just begin to pile up. When this happens, not knowing what to do, you turn to those "friends" who want you to do the wrong things and get councel from them! They would councel you alright, but in the WRONG WAY! So what do think? Are parent-children relationships necessary, or not?

Welcome Y'all

2006-02-25T14:49:00.000-08:00
