In this issue: Friends and our Future

Socializing, friends, romance and our futures


    Growing up is a very big transition in a young personīs life and along the way he or she will be influenced by a lot of people. Such as teachers, friends, TV celebrities, priests, etc. Along the way they will guide you on how to be a better person to strive to be successful or they will be overbearing or spiteful is a good sign of maturity. With us opinionated just be a sympathetic ear that is always there to listen. Itīs good to be heard when you think nobody is listening.
    Personally, socializing is one of the most important things to a young person. Not only do they find great friendships, but also romance in unlikely places. Through socializing we get a taste of different ethnic backgrounds and different views on what poeple are thinking about. Donīt ever be afraid to speak up and share your opinion. You sometimes can tell what a person is like by their opinion. But sometimes you canīt tell and the only other way is to be a good listener. Take time to sit down and talk with your friend, boyfriend or girlfriend
on a specific day. Sharing is also a good way of communicating. But don't make one thing more important than the other. Divide your time and take a breather when you think that you did too much. With all the bad news you hear on TV you don't need to add anything else to your stress level.
    Friendship is a good way of showing a person that you care. Offering some friendly advice with out seeming to be overbearing or spiteful is a good sign of maturity. With us opinionated young people out there we all need to at least act our age. Over confidence is usual not a good thing. People tend to judge you. So, to avoit it, avoid being immature and stop playing games. I don't think people like it when you play some stupid game with their heads. Same thing goes for a relationship. I recently had the pleasure of talking to a couple who have had their ups and downs and what they did to get through them. But they told me that the one thing that kept them sane was each other. To believe in a person, whether it be your spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, teacher or friend is something not often
found. The couple I talked to had been together for almost two years and they still looked forward to the days they spend together. I wish I could say the same thing of my own significant other, but times are rough and it seems other things are more important then quality time. I don't mean to sound too condescending but a person can not deny the



The world is our future and our teacher





truth. The couple I talked to have recently been working out a problem and they are getting married next month. Good luck to them. I wish them all the best. But I don't think that will matter as long as they are together and they have their health. They will be very happy.
    Our futures are impossible to shape right away but with the right guidance and influence you or I can make it and do anything and be anything. Just remember that dreaming isn't such a bad thing and that sometimes
when all else fails that is all we have. Never stop dreaming and most importantly don't let others bring you down because you didn't follow the rules or didn't do it the way they wanted you to do it. If it makes you happy then that is all that matters. Most of all don't let anything be more important than your self worth and dignity. It's the only thing that we




young people have to cling to these days when adults wish to tell us how to live our lives. Don't ever be what you don't want to be and just remember that your idealism is what is going to shape your future the way you want it shaped.
