PRESSURE

i hate the pressure on high schoolers to go sneak a drink or smoke behind their parents' backs because "everyone" else is doing it...even the "good" kids who pledged to be drug-free until twenty-one. i hate the pressure on young girls to give their bodies away to greedy young boys who don't care a lick about them or their feelings.

i've done my best to teach them right from wrong...to help them value themselves and their souls enough make the best decisions for their safety, self-esteem, and futures...have I done enough?
