Just the other day when I was on my way to pick my lil brother up from school,
I was just looking at all the teens walking out from the front gate, all with different expressions on their faces.
Some gloomy, some cheerful.
Back in my mind, I was thinking to myself... 'Man, they have no idea what is coming for them.'
I was once like them.
We didn't really have much to be concerned about when I was their age. When I was in high school, the only things that I was concerned about was homework( caning if I didn't do it), sports, parents (caning, scolding *gotta avoid em*), friends (wanted to be in the 'group') and girls.
I've really enjoyed myself during those times. I made a lot of friends and a few enemies, got myself caught by the discipline master due to some silly acts, won a few dozen medals during sports day, had a few crushes... all during my high school years.
Kian Kok Middle School 2006... I think..
We were pretty much care free then. Our parents always shielded us when problems come.
I'm now 21. Been to a foreign land to pursue my studies, met different kinds of people with different kinds of personality and standards.
A person could either survive or get really messed up when given the freedom.
Religious values, moral standards and personal will would ultimately determine which path you would take.
When we're given freedom, we are responsible for our every actions. We are no longer under our parents' wings when we are in the outside world.
We would meet different kinds of people out there. Some would be kind, others would use us. Some would be generous, others would be selfish.
It is up to us to determine what is good and what is bad. Do not follow the crowd just because they are cool or popular. Never give in to anybody when you sense the things they want is wrong because every man on this Earth is born selfish. It is one of our mortal sin.
Drugs, sex, peer pressure... it is all out there... waiting for us to fall into the pit traps that they have set.
These sins... they make it sound alright. They'll influence us, saying everyone is doing it, it feels good, nothing would go wrong etc..
The world, the media today also does that. They treat relationships as if it is a game. They make it sound like it is no big deal and no physical and emotional burden would be attached to it.
These are all lies.
We have to guard ourselves, and guard ourselves well.
Stick to what we know is right and wrong.
Be strong, be vigilant, be holy.
Hack, maybe mum is right! I have matured! :D
Peace out guys! :)
