Bad influences are every where. They even happen to the best of us. Teenagers are in danger the most. I would know I am a teenager. Teenagers in high school and college are tempted with drugs, alcohol, cheating on tests and quizzes, skipping school, and more. Whether its friends, teachers, siblings, or parents we're tempted to do things that are wrong. Even if it's just stealing a cookie when you're told you can't have one it's still wrong. How do you avoid bad influences? There are a few ways. You can simply say no, you can ignore the person trying to get you to do bad things, you can walk away, and you can stop hanging out with the bad influence. I know it's hard to tell a friend no or to ignore a friend or even stop hanging out with a friend. Even if it is your best friend bad influences are bad influences and you can't give in to them. You will not only hurt yourself by doing this, but you will hurt your family and friends by giving in to the bad influences. Your family and friends are more important than your desires. You don't want to hurt yourself or the people that mean most to you. So keep saying no to temptation and check in next time on Inside the Drama.
Reading this from a teenager is enough to make a father proud. Keep saying no and you will turn out just fine.

ReplyDeleteVery true. One of the very good (and difficult) things to learn in life. Also it can be difficult to learn to say no without apology to very good things that happen to be not so good for you right now (maybe they take to much time or demand of you energy you desire to focus elsewhere).
ReplyDeleteGood for you! This will serve you well in life.=) http://bellesbazaar-heather.blogspot.com/2014/04/b-is-for-brother.html
