Life as a teen 13-19 years



Life as a teenager causes the things you greatly fear to come upon you.
The instructions you greatly fear will guide you.
The warnings you greatly fear will scare you.
The rebukes you greatly fear will frighten you.
The corrections you greatly fear will be imposed on you and,
The troubles you greatly fear will come your way.

Life as a teen:
If you must live long, you must obey.
If you must escape danger, you must follow instructions.
If you must enjoy good things, you must please your parents.
If you must stay healthy, take a healthy diet.
If you must stay away from bad friends, then be wise.

I saw a teenager, who disobeys and dies prematurely.
I saw a teenager, who feed on unbalanced diets and was sick so often.
I saw another who had bad friends and was almost destroyed.
And, there was another who did not follow instructions, yet entered into danger.
One who hates correction and was penalized
Life as a teen goes with terms and conditions.
The stressful journey in Life.

This is time to enjoy your youthfulness but in a more careful way.
It’s a time to enjoy the finest things of life but in a healthier way.
It is time to make many friends, but just the good ones.
Don’t be the hearer only, and not a doer.
