NO Bullying Tour- Make Good Choices!
NO Bullying Tour- Make Good Choices!
The problem is that approximately 30% of teenagers are
being bullied! Statistically this group of people are 4 times
more likely to commit a crime! When you begin to develop
a habit of treating people bad, it doesn't stop. Before you
know it, it will lead to more fighting criminal behavior.
Gossipers are people I call Haters or MOJO Haters.
All they do is try to suck the life out of people! They are
negative and unproductive. Normally, the more somebody
talks about other people the more they spread rumors. It
just shows they don't have much confidence in themselves.
You must realize you can really hurt people by the things
you say.
Have you ever heard that saying sticks and stones may
break my bones, but words will never hurt me? However,
our words are powerful. I know teens that became so
depressed because of what was being said about them they
started self-mutilization. Some of them used that as their
excuse to drink or do drugs. Although they still shouldn't
do those things, it is important that you realize how much
your words can help, or in this case, hurt somebody!
MOJO Makers compliment people, they lift people up, they
help people out. They are looking to make a positive
difference! When a MOJO Maker hears rumors, they put
them to an end. They confront people about how much
negativity they are spreading. So stop talking bad about
people, even if its true, instead use Moms Golden Rule: If
you don't have anything good to say about somebody, don't
say anything at all.
This is a tough one and I know most of you are already
turning your ears off! Hold on a second. Let me just share
the FACTS with you. You don't have to believe me, but the
FACTS are the TRUTH!
As a teenager, you have your whole life ahead of you to
establish a relationship. The choices you make in these
relationships can and will affect the rest of your life. Did
you know that 1 out of every 2 people will contract an STD
by age 25? Between you and your best friend, statistically
speaking one of you will contract an STD! What if you
were the one? Can you imagine that before you get married
you have to tell your fiance that you have an STD? How
fun would it be if you were one of the 2,800 teens that will
be having a baby this year? Or for the guys, your girlfriend
will be having a baby and the two of you will be tied
together for the rest of your life, good or bad.
Take time to think about these decisions because they will
have an impact on the rest of your life!
DRUGS, DRUGS, DRUGS
When I say drugs I mean ALL of them; any kind, any shape
or form. There are millions of teenagers that have taken a
stand against doing drugs and I am proud of them! It's not
easy, I know, but it is the best thing for your life!
When I was growing up there was this
drugs: There was a frying pan on a stove and the announcer
said, This is your brain. Then they cracked some eggs in
the frying pan and as you watched the eggs frying, the
announcer said, This is your brain on drugs, any
questions?
I put this section in the book to remind each one of you.
Although drugs seem appealing and they seem to be an
easy way to take the edge off of life, IF you come down
from your high, whether that is smoking, drinking, home
created inhalants, marijuana or anything else, life is still
there. The real solution is to find a better way to handle the
stresses of life.
We are all going to have stress, but the choices YOU make
are going to determine where you end up in life! So choose
life, choose to make smart decisions and choose success for
you!
