Being a teen, growing in various
environments and being with different people, we are the ones that are prone to
things that are said to be "issues." as for me, being a teen suggests
a stage of being vulnerable and needs strong will to protect the principles. In
this stage, we are being awaken from our childish and innocent ways. It is a
stage wherein we are to find the people who we will treasure for quite a long
long time. We'll meet different kinds of people, some are good, some are bad
and some are just common. And I am going through this teen stuff, being worried
about the choices I made, the choices I am making.
I have vices, its not that I’m proud of it. In fact I don't think people should
be proud of it. Of all the "things" I do, I’m really proud to say
that I don't smoke (nor do drugs). Its just a matter of saying a big no to
something most people said yes to. I just hate the fact that most teens would
start smoking and burning their lungs just to hang out with friends.. Duh! What
a pathetic choice.
This notion was swirling around my principle for about a year and I just
blurted this out when I saw the episode on PBB. The epi wherein Wendy caught
herself crying over some stick of cigarette. I kinda understand her because I
reckon she's really a smoker and I know how hard it is to take it out of the
system.. That episode just made me smile and realize how I made a good decision
of not smoking. =)
