WHO IS YOUR FRIEND AS A TEENAGER?
As a young guy you always say " That is my GUY; that is my main MAN, that chap is my friend". I want to ask you this question. Are the people you call your friends, REAL OR FAKE.
A true friend is someone you can rely on regardless of the circumstances. While they may give you the advice you don't want to hear from time to time, a true friend will never lead you purposely down the wrong road. They tell you as it is while presenting the truth to make it easy for you to receive. I know you see teenagers outside, they dress cool, they go to parties to get attention and you want to be like them right? You are enough, you are born original. Don't try to copy others or join the bandwagon, stop trying to fit in ,don't die a copy. You are born to STANDOUT. POPULARITY does not mean quality. In this crazy world we live in, some people are LOVED for being a FAKE and others are judged for being REAL. Because it is better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you are not. The people you are hanging out with you are not your friends. I want you to ask yourself this question. Are your friends raising you up or pushing you down? Are they helping you grow or holding you back? You have something special inside of you. Listen to me, the people you are hanging around with they have their own agendas. You can't call everybody your friend. They don't love you. These people never LOVE you. A true friend is someone who makes your problem DISAPPEAR. They are the one who will never disappear when you face a problem. You see FAKE friends are like shadows they are around you during the BRIGHTEST times. But they disappear during the DARKEST time. So I'm going to tell you this now. It is better to WALK ALONE at night than with a FAKE friend in the LIGHT. It is better for an enemy to attack you than a FAKE friend hugging you. So I know sometimes it is fun hanging around them. You laugh ,you joke. But that doesn't mean much in your life. It is easy to be friends when things are going on well. But what about when things are not going on well? when you are in trouble or you find yourself in a situation that you are in the crossroad your so called friends will disappear. I'm not going to preach but your life is dependent on two things. The people you hang out with and the books you read or skill you acquired. Do not stunt your growth by hanging out with the wrong crowd. I'm going to say it again, you have a gift inside of you. You have to answer that call now because it's not going to ring forever. The more time you spend with these people the less time you have to bring the best of the gift out of your life. I want to ask you a question. What is the easiest way to catch a cold? By hanging out in the cold right. What is the easiest way to catch a negative mindset? To hang out with people with negative attitudes. In some ways being a teenager is the hardest chapter in your life. This is the part of your life where you are trying to define who you are not only to everyone around you, but also to yourself. Teenagers struggle with image, gender identity, self-confidence and tons of emotional issues. Yes society and technology has come on a long way - but life as a teen is by no means easy. In fact even though adults endure everything from work problems to debt, no period of your life comes close to being as difficult as your teenage years. But now that you are reading this, is the time for you to grow , to flourish and you become exactly what you are always meant to be. STOP HANGING OUT WITH THE WRONG CROWD.
