Just because everything’s different doesn’t mean anything’s changed @ 11:44 PM
" Any teen who can wake up in the morning and be willing to face another painful, agonizing day out there in that dark, cold, ugly world is mentally powerful. The one with so many shattered hearts and broken dreams, just searching relentlessly for something, someone to hold on to and believe in. No one in the world is as strong as a teen trying to persevere in this media-centered culture we’re living in. Always being pressured to act like someone else, look like someone else, talk like someone else…be someone else. Listening to rumours and lies said about them, crying themselves to sleep at night, being made fun of for looks and interests, and as a result: suicides, shootings, depression, and sometimes leading up to even terrorism. So think about the things you say and do before you pursue them, because the actions you perform today might have an effect on the world tomorrow. "
