TheMovement,

We, as teenagers, are really capable of anything. We are susceptable to really anything. And that is quite scary. We are in the harshest world and it is so easy for each and every one of us to go down that wrong path. We have to stick together.

Together, we can prevent us from coming in contact with an unknown world filled with bad realities. We are forced to grow up so fast, and many of us are lonesome and just need someone. We need to seek advice from each other. If we lend an ear and hear someone's story, we will not only feel more close to them, but we will stand united to prevent a turbulent occurance of something. There are drugs, drugdealers, rapists, gangs, mobs, abusers, murderers, racists, backstabbers, the comforts of suicide, and all waiting for just one person they can use...YOU.

It is ultimately your choice of where you are going in life. You have the capability of doing such great things, but you have everything pulling in the opposite favor. We have ALL been there. You feel like you're alone in this world, you feel like your dreams don't matter, you feel hurt, you feel betrayed, you feel like you're all you've got. We know. We've been there.

When you stand up and stop these acts, we won't be another statistic. Another adolescent that died on the sidewalk due to an overdose. We won't be in high school expecting a child. We won't be alcoholics. We won't kill. We won't deal.

We'll just be.

But you have to stand up. YOU have to say NO. You have to say I can accomplish everything I want. I WILL SUCCEED. My dreams DO matter. I am NOT alone, I have someone.

If we join together, hand by hand we can. It's easier to cease these bad things if we link. We are so much more than we sell ourselves for. And that's really what it is. We sell our happiness for other's happiness. We give up what WE want because that's all we really can do in some cases. We NEED just one hand, and from that hand another, and another, and another. Don't let the cycle end. Keep going. It's not hard, all you have to do, is reach out. Let YOUR voice be heard, because YOU DO matter. YOU ARE SOMEONE.

WE HAVE THE POWER. WE CAN, AND WE WILL.

So the question is...are you in?

I'm in...
