Where a Dark Path Leads

If you have a troubled teenager or a child with a trouble teenagers tendencies this is for them. I hope that I can change the way that they look at life and please leave a comment if I helped in any way. I need to know that there's hope for them.... You live your life how you want because of your upbringing. You're either spoiled, was exposed to so much negativity, dealt with a lot physical, sexual, or emotional pain, feel like your parents didn't care enough, or just plain bored. Your mom cried and your dad yelled. How could they ever understand you when they're part of the reason why you are the way you are? Their words goes in one ear and out the other. You're going to do what you want because you're against the world on the outside. Inside, you're at a constant struggle with yourself. Still, your outside always win. So you curse, party, and get involved with people just like your outside. Everyone else is boring and seems old before they get there. They should get with the trend or get teased and bullied. Besides all the arguements, you're life is fun and exciting. You couldn't ask for better. Right? But who can you talk to when you hit rock bottom and your support system gives up on you? Who would believe that you're going to change when you say that constantly? Think about it. I was all of the above. I said I'd never do most of the things I've done. I lived my life how I wanted to because I felt alone. I Ignored the positive words given to me thinking that they were negative because people were angry or I thought that they were jealous of my life. Now I see it's because of disappointment. Dont think that your parents or guardians are being hypocrites because in reality they want you to be better than them. Never take them for granted because they could be here for one moment and gone the next. If they're telling you that something is unhealthy then listen to them. I'm just now doing it at twenty-one with a preschooler, anixety, down to two friends who didn't follow me and Im not in a relationship. Im still just a baby myself. I look at my child and pray that they're different from me. Don't play follow the leader and never let anyone get the best of you just because you're different or trying to be for a better future. Know your worth and how much you mean to those around you because your current blink could be your last. Don't waste your life. Love yourself positively. R.I.P. to those we've losted to bullying, drugs, abuse, and diseases.
