To those that matter


One thing I feel so passionate about is Teen Suicide, I am completely against it i can't stress how much my heart aches every time I hear that a teen has taken their own life. Suicide is never an option to me I don't see it as taking the easy way out because there's nothing easy about making that decision,  although to some it may take a small situation that would trigger such strong emotions that in the heat of the moment they will decide that nothing matters anymore. Teenagers need to realise one thing and one thing only Life is so much more than being a teenager in high school, first of all high school isn't the prime of your life, not even college is, high school is a period in time where you might have it good or might have it bad but eventually it does end, don't feel bad because you're being bullied and people hate you or starting gossip about you, because guess what, in life you will find people like that, some people would hate you right on the spot for the way you dress the way you talk whatever it is they will judge you right on the spot and they will remain consistent with that judgement, and they will be people who would bully you non stop to get some sort of reaction form you all of this happens like its nothing, like there's no consequences whatsoever and most of the time there isn't. 
You need to realise that if all of this is happing and you feel like you are not loved you don't belong, you don't have anyone… guess what YOU do and that person is YOURSELF. respect and love and appreciate your individuality, wear your flag high, the moment you realise just how precious you are and how important your life is and can be you will become transformed completely, you need to understand that you can make something of yourself, and i'm not talking about a fairytale i'm talking about you going to college finding a major that interests you working for an organisation that you love, doing volunteer work, marrying someone, sharing your life with others all of this is so normal and can happen to anyone, and as normal and universal that is it is also magical and beautiful. 
Don't waste your time on those who are wasted, those are the people that don't matter and in the grand picture they are not even there. Read books, watch movies, listen to music, get inspired, become motivated, discover your interests, find your idols, get a plan, work, work even harder, set a goal, achieve that goal, then set another one… realise just how much you could do. 
Please don't ever let anyone bring you down. feel comfortable in your skin and become your own person.

maybe the best words are the ones left unspoken

I saw this video on the internet recently that truly made me question myself, a teenage girl committed suicide after being constantly bullied by her peers, now let's think about that for a second this is certainly not the first teen suicide story nor will it be the last (the fact that it had became so common to hear about them brings me chills) what shocked me was the cruelty of the people bulling her, obviously bullies are cruel, though there's no justification for it but they are I was just sad over how she needed somebody to be there for her and she couldn't find any. Teenagers tend to be so dramatic and that is understandable everything is sort of blown out of proportion they tend to think that high school is the prime time (which it isn't) but they want the friends, the social life, the relationships... etc. the moment they leave high school and grow up and start working they'll realise there's more to life than a Facebook    relationship status.
I only wish that the girl could've waited a little, if only she had made some sort of a plan or set a goal to when she gets out of high school, to look at the long run where does she see herself but there's no use to saying this now, I only hope other teens would now be more appreciated of their own lives, I don't know what else is there to say.
