If you see in your wine the reflection of a person not in your range of vision, don't drink it.

Teenage Years

Big dreams

Stupid fights

Sleepy days

Endless nights

Broken hearts

Mascara tears

Cell phone bills

Report card fears

Clothes too tight

Shoes so high

Out past curfew

Another lie

Eyeshadow color

Midnight black

Lip gloss flavor

Cherry Attack

Belts with stars

Boys with cars

Just a taste of teenage years

When even your biggest problems

Are too small for tears !

If you must play, decide on three things at the start: the rules of he game, the stakes, and the quitting time.

An inch of time is an inch of gold but you can't buy that inch of time with an inch of gold.

I dont want to be another statistic

Some suicidal teen

Who makes choice to kill herself

When the world just seems too mean.

She cant go on with life

Or so to her it seems

Reality has fallen short

I dont want to be another statistic

Some pregnant little girl

Who met this great guy

And then gave sex a whirl

She was only 15

But it felt so right

She thought theyd be together

For more than just a night

I dont want to be another statistic

Some kid strung out on crack

Who started at a party

and now she cant turn back

First cigarettes and alcohal

Now meth crack and cocaine

Shes been smoking it so long

That now hes gone insane

I dont want to be another statistic

Some girl left in the rain

WHo was walking home from school

Then raped and left in pain

She cant tell her parents

And it hurts to tell her friends

She doenst know what shell do

To make this nightmare end

I dont want to be another statistic

Some kid out of school

Who dropped out early

And was acting like a fool

He thought that it was boring

He thought that it was dumb

He doesnt have an education

But lives on the streets like a bum

I dont want to be another statistic

Some sterotypical teen

Im gunna make a difference

Ill finish with my dream

I wont end up pregnant

On drugs or even dead

I wont drop out of school

Because ill use my head

I dont want to be another statistic

To fit into some mold

Of what society thinks of kids today

Because its getting kind of old

Not all of us are bad

In fact most of us are good

When will the world see us

And give us credit like they should?

Our tears are what happens when it rains deep inside our hearts and we cannot hold the rain any longer.

- Philippos

Never treat some one like they're second best

Never get less than 8 hours of rest

Never tell some one that they mean nothing to you

Never sue some one who doesn't deserve to be sued

Never look in the past when your futures ahead

Never check some one's pulse and still mistake them for dead

Never drink soda when water's nearby

Never say that you don't care if you die

Never trust anyone who isn't yourself

Never push photos to the back of the shelf

Never believe that you can't measure up

Never think it's empty when it's a full cup

Never act selfish just cuz your mother's around

Never expect to helped when you're on the ground

And if there is anything you should never do, is pretend you don't like him/her when you love everything they do.

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck(written after she found out she was dying from cancer).

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have sat on the lawn with my grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner." There would have been more "I love you's." More "I'm sorry's."

But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute...look at it and really see it .. live it .and never give it back. Stop sweating the small stuff.

Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what.

Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.

Let's think about what God HAS blessed us with. And what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally. I hope you all have a blessed day.

Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.

Wouldn't life be perfect if sweatpants were sexy,

Monday's were fun,

Junk food was good for you,

homework didn't exist,

girls weren't drama queens,

guys weren't losers,

and saying goodbye only meant until tomorrow.

Everything you want comes after you stop looking for it...

Just being yourself, being who you are, is a successful rebellion.
