Chapter 1
Have you ever felt like you don’t belong or lost in your own skin.When you look at yourself in the mirror and don’t like what you see and disparately want to change or shield yourself.
Sometimes we find ourselves in situations we don’t intend to put ourselves in, and how we handle them is even worse because we do not think twice before making a rush decision especially teenagers.
This is one thing that parents don’t understand about their children that their time back then and now are different,people of nowadays are hurting each other in different ways be it emotionally physically or even spiritually.
Speaking as one of those children we go through a lot and l want to address some of those things and how we can try to overcome together or even stop them if possible.
Some parents,guardians and teens themselves might not agree with my reasoning but personally this is how l see things , things happening all around the world be it Africa America or Asia , we are all human beings we have feelings and needs and the way some people choose to deal with these things are different that’s one thing we should learn to understand.
So let’s get right into it !
Let’s firstly talk about relationships ,not just boyfriend and girlfriend types of relationships, l am talking about friendship , family relations love relationships and of course the relationship with God.
Now you must be wondering what’s there to talk about relationships. I assure you there isn’t much but the minimum that’s there is concerning.
How do we see friendship in these modern times . Friendship is defined as the emotions or conduct of friends; the state of being friends. But let’s not even use the dictionary or Google definition, how do you define friendship? How do l define friendship?
I define friendship as a bond shared between two or more people , the feeling to care , protect and make that friend of yours happy is how l see friendship.
But........yes there is a but.
But people misuse each other all in the name of friendship,what l mean by that is how people get other people to do unthinkable stuff all in the name of friendship some of those stuff are like your friends telling you to do things like to stop liking a boy you’re crushing on or dating just because your friend saw them first . If you are truly someone’s friend you would happy for them , sometimes subsidizing your feelings away for a friend is a good deed cause you didn’t go ahead and tell them at first now that they are dating the boy or girl you liked first , you get all upset and whatnot ,you even want to end the friendship that might have lasted a decade or more. Am sure some of you do not agree with what saying am sure your thinking that if that friend is truly your friend they wouldn’t go for the person you like.
You can’t surely blame them when you couldn’t make the first or even tell them about it in the first place .
Jealousy among friends is common especially of ones success or happy moments, why get upset of someone who is like you brother or sister when they are thriving ,Do not try to make their moment to shine yours, be happy for them , encourage them do whatever to show them how happy it makes you to see them thriving and what not .
