“In life as in football, you won't go far, unless you know where the goalpost are”

Arnold H Glasgow

I believe that in order to get through life you must set goals for yourself. Without a plan there is no directions, without  no directions one gets lost. One needs a guide they have created to follow. You may not completely go through it all but you will be better by setting goals and reaching them. If one has no goal they won't know what to do and they would somehow end up bad. They will do that because they would feel like they have no purpose. One has to look for that purpose to find it, it's not just gonna magically appear. If you know where and what it it you want you will be successful. On the other hand if you don't know where or what it is you want you will have no direction/ something to follow because you won't want nothing. You will be confused, stressed etc. This quote proves how having a life planning goals journal is important because you have a semi- guide to follow through and it is very helpful.  A person with a life planning goals journal will have something to remind them and look back to to see there goals. Unlike the person who doesn't, they will be lost with no idea of what it is they are "hungry" for.

Challenges Teens Face Today

       Most teens are very smart but when it comes to peer pressure most give in and choose the wrong. During this time, teens go through overwhelming external and internal struggles.Several major challenges teens face today are self esteem, body image depression, drugs, alcohol, under age sex, bullying (cyber), stress, etc. Nowadays a guy wants a pretty skinny, nice figure girls, and on social media people are influenced by girls and they try to be like them. Social media is a big challenge because on it everyone pretends to be someone they aren't.  Something I deal  with are school & stress. Some people expect so much from you they, expect you to be perfect and you try to be it to please them till you're so fed up with it and you stop. You stop and take time to make sure to love yourself because there's no such thing better than self love. Being a CTR person helps because you get to see yourself as a better person. CTR is choosing the right therefore saying you are a CTR person helps because you make sure to think before you act. I can help other teens by talking to them I can help them out if they have a problem and  I know there is something I can do to change.

      The greatest need that teens have is to be loved and to find purpose in life. I believe this because with out having or seeing a purpose in living you find everything boring. By not finding a purpose in life you see everything as bad when in reality it's not. A  teen needs love. A teen needs to learn how to accept them self even if others don't by loving yourself. When you learn to love yourself you won't care what others think or say and they will start seeing you for who you are.
