We are living in the “now”

Future-teens rather live in the present and ignore planning for the future. We think about “now,” live in the “moment,” and we should. We’re young and allowed to have that mindset. But, when you get older and take a step into the “future”- you’re gonna’ wish you had a plan for it. You can do the first step plan- deciding if your going to college or not. That in itself is not only a big plan, but it’s a big issue. Not all of us who graduate high school plan on going to college. That’s okay!

   Another big step is deciding what your career is going to be. We all have dreams and things we wish to be. They range from following in your parents footsteps or taking a big leap in joining the military. Down this road, you’ll change what you want to do many times. You’ll discover your talents, you’ll realize what your good at and what your not. You’ll see the options that are out there, but always keep in mind, the career that you do choose to stick with in the end…make sure it’s the one YOU want and enjoy doing.

   Although were young and for most still naive, it’s not a bad thing to keep in mind a plan for the future. Listen to your parents, come to find out most of the time they are right. But don’t give them the satisfaction of knowing that of course.

Texting Rumors

     For the most part, every teenager has a cell phone that has texting on it. It’s quick and easy to send something to someone without spending more time picking up the phone and calling them. With texting as good as it is to have it quick and easy- you need to be careful. It’s so easy to speak something about somebody else through casual talk just as easy as it is to blurt out words on a text message. Once it’s written down on paper or a text message-you can’t take back. No matter how many JK’s (just kidding) you might say..that doesn’t erase what you’ve sent. In either circumstance you can’t take those words back, but with texting you are now subject to having that message forever out there.

     Texting is another piece of technology out there that has created another opportunity for bullying to happen. How?  Because teens find it easier to write something offensive and mean to somebody they don’t see. So, they don’t have to say it to their face. Bullying has now become ‘quick’ and ‘easy.’ Am I right? Every teenager is guilty of this. It is so much easier to start a rumor with the click of a button. We have heard something somebody else said,believe it’s the truth, and instantly rely on a text message to solve it. I think whats worse than bullying face to face is bullying through text messaging. At least having it done face to face gives the option of others around you to see it go on. Bullying through text messaging-most of the time go un-seen. Do you know that your awful action caused someone so much pain they resorted to end their life because of one text you sent. One word you might have said. One look you might have given. You just never know how somebody else could take it, so why take that risk? Is it worth it? True, not everybody will resort to that, but do you want to be the one to push them over the edge? Would you want somebody to say or do what you do to others to yourself? How would you feel?How would you take it?

    Words hurt and it’s words you can’t ever take back. Be careful of what you say or what you ‘text.’ Treat others how you yourself would want to be treated. It’s that simple.
