Hi you
guys!
What I'm
attempting to do here via my website is really quite a serious thing
and
I honestly want you to know that I appreciate your taking the time to
stop
by.
After
all, since it is YOU who
are the next up and coming generation, if you really THINK about
it, it is ALSO you
who possess the loudest voice and most powerful influence as far as
making
positive changes in our world is concerned!
All
you need to do is tap into your creative as well as imaginative
personalities
and I have the utmost confidence that this world WILL
get better every day!
Please
listen you guys...I am not doing this because I want to preach to
you...I
am doing this because it is my sincerest wish that you will believe me
when I tell you that I truly DO understand
that being a teenager in this world of ours is not always such an
ultra-fabulous,
wild and crazy, having nothing but fun and games type of existence that
SOME people
would have the rest of the world believe. What I guess I am trying to
say
to you is that I am well aware that you have an awful lot of day-to-day
type stuff that you may encounter that ISN'T
such fun for you all of the time such as the stuff that you are
constantly
having to deal with like the fear of getting AIDS,or being surrounded
by
those people who just might be doing drugs, or who just might be
carrying
weapons to school, or who just might be drinking, or who just might
have
a dangerous attitude problem, or who might possibly belong to a gang,
and
this is not even getting into any ADDITIONAL
problems
that you may be experiencing within your very own PERSONAL family
lives!
You
know something tells me that like myself, you TOO are
getting sick and tired of all of the violence and the prejudice that
you
are seeing as well as experiencing all around you. It really upsets me
deeply that every day in our world more and more people (especially
children
and teenagers) are either being hurt or killed just because somebody
may
not like the color of their skin, or the way that they talk, or the car
that they drive or the clothes that they wear or the people that they
are
hanging with or many OTHER reasons
that cause people to treat one another badly and end up doing things to
one another like shooting each other or stabbing each other.
<SIGH>
Doesn't all of this violence make you wonder where we are headed as a
human
race? I mean all we have to do is turn on the TV and there it is right
in our faces...people beating one another up, people getting shot by
guns
every day and countries talking about possibly going to war. Well guess
what? if this is bothering YOU as
much as it bothers ME,
you can actually DO something
about all of this and by deciding to come here, that is ALREADY telling
me that you are interested in living in a more peaceful and non-violent
world!
