What are your plans for the future?

How do you deal with pressure in your life? When there’s pressure in my life, I like to pray or talk to someone that I trust, like a friend, older cousin, or even a teacher and tell them how I am feeling in hopes that they will help me. Each day when I am faced with greater obstacles, I deal with it by writing my poetry. I live day to day learning from my experiences and from the mistakes I've made, or from watching others make mistakes.

What advice would you give other teens about drugs? You are always going to face challenges and obstacles, but remember, the biggest obstacle of all is yourself. Meaning nothing can keep you down, stand in your way or kill your dreams but you. Never let anybody choose your destiny.
