Hello to all of my Readers!
Today is a GREAT DAY ISN'T IT?
You are alive!
You are breathing!
You made it through another night, intact!
Life is not all that bad when you consider that YOU...HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE to do better,
to be happy, to get some joy in your life and DO SOMETHING GREAT TO CHANGE YOUR SITUATION or make someone else's life better! The bad things didn't get the best of you!
OK! Enough already, Meetta! I know I know, Dear Reader that you may be thinking this! Unless, you are thinking, "So what's this all about, Meetta?"
I say, "that's a fair question!"
Remember that, "TEEN SPEAK", is about subject matter that directly affects teenagers and other young people. I write In this article for those from 13 to 22.
Though, in our day and age, kids tend to grow up faster for a number of reasons. The Media, family situations, peer pressures, violence committed against children, all have a tendency to strip the innocence from them way too soon. So, I am aware that pre-schoolers have experienced some things and can verbalize some very mature things as well. Still, I keep in mind the subject matters for older youth, as that group is old enough to properly verbalize experiences, thoughts and actions. They have a better understanding of consequences and the affects of certain ways of living!
So, Today's topic is ...(I'm struggling with this because there are a few topics I want to talk about immediately!) Uh...I'm just going to go for it and chooses one, knowing that in time I will be able to write about the other ones. Please know that these writings are for educational and inspirational purposes. So, to start this article off, I will say this, that
My BIGGEST THOUGHT for you all, young people, IS THAT YOU KNOW even in this great big old, sometimes lonely world, that though it may seem like it at times, please know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
That's right! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
There is somebody out there of good intention, waiting to help you through any crisis! They are out there waiting to encourage you in the right direction. They don't want anything FROM YOU! These kind of people only want to get something TO YOU! These kind of people only want you to live your BEST LIFE! Knowing how to you find those people is the key! There is a a vast source of information to help you locate help! One option may be a "neighbor", someone who won't hurt you, touch you in any improper way or ask anything of you that YOU KNOW is wrong! This person is easily accessible and open to you . They "take" time talking and LISTENING TO YOU! You know something about them, they are familiar to you and you feel they are "trustworthy and helpful."
Another source may be your parents. For those who are not so fortunate, other sources may be a favorite teacher or coach, our youth volunteer in a church organization or your best friends. There are a variety of organizations that you can find on Google or in your yellow pages.
(Do people still use those?) Hmm. What about a favorite teacher, school or community center or church counselor? Anyway, still if you look for it my teenage, young People, know that you will find what you need. Descent People, is what I am talking about. EVERYBODY needs somebody, sometime! So, don't be stubborn and foolish thinking you have to handle all of life's trials all by yourself. While there are times when we ALL have to face some part of life alone, understand that we can still choose to share and let others in! We don't have to endure the WHOLE problem without some support! Eventually, someone will come along. Not all the time will they be available, but someone will come along and ask you how and if they can help! So, seize the opportunity, if you need it!
Maybe you can take their card or information down for future purposes! That's always good too! Because, sometimes you meet people for later rather than now! Remember life keeps on going and wisdom keeps on giving. So, for later, keep the counselors number, OK?
Remember if you need help, help does not always come looking for you! Often times, that person (help) is waiting for you to reach out to them! We don't always know HOW to help even if we know THAT YOU NEED HELP! So ask if you need it.
What ever the situation though, don't give up even if you ask for help and it does not immediately come. What ever you do, DON'T GIVE UP! Somebody of help will hear you! Somebody does love you and somebody does care! Sometimes, it just takes time for them to get to you. Stay strong and think wisely in the meantime. HELP for you may just we lying right inside of you! What I mean is, YOU may be the one who has to help you! Sometimes, there is not time to wait on someone else. Sometimes you have to be the one to take action on your own behalf. So, if that is the case, think wisely and hold on. Don't do anything rash. People will come because we are not meant to be alone! You are probably still going to need some help or companionship later. Sometimes when they do show up, you may just be surprised who it is that comes to your aid. It may not be who you think or want, but the support is just as sweet!
STAY STRONG YOUNG PEOPLE!
Caring about you, Ms. Meetta
