Hey guys! I hope you’ve enjoyed my videos unfortunately today is not the day I’m posting videos… But I do have kind of an announcement.
I have recently become aware of the amount of teens that smoke, do drugs, and drink in this generation and it makes me sick to my stomach just to think that people like us; people around us… Are going doing all this stuff with the mind set of, “Oh, it’s okay, everyone else is doing it”. But in reality, it is certainly NOT okay! I want you guys to know that just because you’re friends are doing it, doesn’t mean that you should too. The risks aren’t worth it. If your friends jumped off a cliff, would you do it? No.
This is life, not Twilight. If you do decide to do drugs or smoke, you might as well just jump of a cliff, because the results are the same. Though I think jumping off a cliff would be a little less painful.
So my point to all of this is… It’s okay to say no; it’s ok to be different. I grew up thinking I was a crazy kid with a mind set on the impossible because that’s what everyone told me. They told me that I should just do what they do because they are “normal”. But you know what? Normal is boring. I wouldn’t be where I am today if I was “Normal” and I don’t WANT to be “Normal”. Whatever “Normal” even is! And don’t let anyone say you’re stupid for not being like them and doing drugs. Actually, don’t let them call you stupid at all. Be you, because you can change the world if you put your fear aside and color outside the lines, think outside the box, and last but not least, step away from the crowd.

For the next month or so, my videos and posts will be about community wellness and the dangers of the drugs, alcohol, and smoking. So stay tuned and check in every Friday
