Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Planting a future in a teenage brain

Are you a leaf being blown around,

Or a tree firmly embedded in the ground ?

Rather than drift through life letting things happen by chance,

Set yourself goals and plan how to get there in advance.

 

Don't let a road block become a dead end,

Discuss your problems with a true friend.

Keeping mistakes a secret only makes things worse,

Admit your errors and make the trauma disperse.

 

Don't let the wrong crowd shape what you do,

Be in control of your life don't let them rule you.

By anticipating a problem you will be more able to deal,

Say,"I don't do that sort of thing,it doesn't appeal !"

 

If your peers continue to taunt you, walk away,

The more intense the pressure,the longer you will stay.

By leaving you will show you refuse to let others change who you are,

You are not a robot under their control,but a confident rising star.
