            In this day and age it is very difficult to just be a teenager. We the youth of today are faced with life threatening decisions everyday. There are a number of techniques one can use in order to avoid undesirable situations. For every action there is a reaction. The choices that we make today, good or bad, will follow some of us for the rest of our lives. Three, in particular, we are faced with are drugs, sexual intercourse, and violence.
             Drugs can be found at almost every corner in almost all our neighborhoods. Drugs are made readily available to kids today. It is so bad that six graders are face with the decision of whether or not to use drugs. Drugs are something some children are faced with everyday. It is in our schools, our neighborhoods, and even in our homes. However, just because drugs are easy to obtain that does not give children the right to use them. Although it may be hard the best thing to do is just to say no. No is probably the most powerful two letter word in our vocabulary. Peer pressure is one of the main reasons people try drugs. This can be avoided by choosing your friends carefully. If you surround yourself with positive things you will want to be apart of positive things. One adapts to their surroundings. If you are in a negative environment you will tend you shape your ideas and behavior negatively. It is also easier to show someone what you mean rather than telling them. .
             Let people see through your actions what type of person you are. Your actions will attract and warn away the right and wrong type of people.
             Sexual intercourse is another tough decision young adults have to face. The best way to deal with an undesired situation is not to put yourself in that type of situation. If you are not put into a situation to be tempted chances are you will not be tempted. Another alternative to dealing with sex is being well versed in church. Knowing your Bible and what God says about fornication and adultery may help as well.
