Some Steps to Keep Teenagers Off The Wrong Path

Teenage is actually the most impressionable age. During it, we don’t know “WHYs” and “WHY NOTs” of such things, the only thing that comes up in the mind is “WHY SHOULDN’T I?” And this is where the situation gets worse. Teenagers don’t spend their quality time thinking to predict the post-addiction fallout, they just see the pleasure the particular activity brings. Yes, it might be somewhat lucrative and pleasurable but it gives more pain than pleasure.

So TO AVOID THAT PHASE the necessary steps that could be taken by the individual are as follows :-

1.    BEFORE YOU THINK OF IT AS A GOOD THING, VIEW IT FROM THE OTHER SIDE AS WELL.


It is said that every coin has two sides, so why not check them both out ? Am sure by learning the after-effects, all will refrain from such addictions.

2.    DON’T TRY TO FIT IN.


Most people get into this habit just because the society makes him/her feel that if you’re not doing that, you’re either a grandpa or a schoolboy. But in fact, it takes deep amount of courage and personal commitment to stand up and say NO to such elements. Don’t ever just try to fit into them. One fine day, the world will stop criticizing you. How? Because they will be failures at motivating you to try such things.

3.    KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP.

Have you ever climbed a mountain? If you haven’t still you will get my point. Let me ask you another question, WHY DO PEOPLE AIM FOR  REACHING THE TOP OF ANY MOUNTAIN ? WHY NOT THE FIRST BASE OR THE SECOND BASE ?

This is only because they very well know that the tip of the mountain never bows down to the surface and never lowers it’s standards when the strong wind comes in. And this is the reason the mountain climbers take pictures with the tip fo the mountain. Now envision yourself there, YOU !!! Yes YOU are that mountain top. The less fortunate ones who, by will or by accident, fell into this trap of addictions, will try to bring you down by their winds of persuasion, but the deep self- belief and never bowing down to such things attitude will make you shine and be AT THE TOP !!!

Now TO GET OUT OF THAT PHASE I would like to suggest a few personal ideas to the individual and the people around him/her. :-

1.    COMMITMENT.

You have to commit yourself to being a LION not a SHEEP. With that I mean that what if your friends or even your best friends do it ? If you have decided to do it, then DO IT. and if you still cannot do it, i have a very profound question for you, WILL YOU SEEK PERMISSION OF YOUR BEST FRIENDS BEFORE ACCEPTING A LOTTERY OF SAY $50,00,000 ? WOULD YOU? WILL YOU GO AROUND ASK EACH ONE OF THEM IF YOU SHOULD ACCEPT IT OR NOT? No you wouldn’t. Then by procrastinating this decision, its you alone who will end up being a person you never want to be. Trust me, once you take this decision and stick to it, your physical and mental health will improve to boundless levels.

2.    WILLPOWER

Willpower is what will make you strive harder. Let me remind you that as you’ll progress, the earlier group will poke you to come in again, but that will be the moment you will be tested. So, BE 24HRS STRONG ON YOUR DECISION.

3.    And finally, STOP BEING A SHEEP, START BEING A LION. No matter if you have to walk alone for a few distance, beyond that, GLORIOUS FUTURE WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU TO HUG YOU




Hope my ideas will serve you to the fullest of their potential.

Stay motivated. Stay excited. Stay happy.
