Saying "NO" Is Not A Cowardice

Are there any instances in your life that you find it hard to decide over a thing? Situations, wherein your head almost burst up because your doubtful whether to give a “yes” or “no” . If yes, same here. I do feel what you feel. But, don’t you worry these scenario is merely normal for we are facing hard time deciding especially on contradicting or saying “No” towards a wrong act which your peers tries to push you into.

More often than not, we youth are hooked into things which lead us to fall into a cliff if not prevented. Drinking, gambling, smoking, drag racing, drugs and even sex beyond the blessing of the sacrament of matrimony are some of these things. Youth get the notion of “you do them”, you’re in” which is really a crooked belief that when you do such then you’re socially accepted. And for a young mind, being innocent needs extra guts to say “No” especially we are living in a modernized world which is bombarded and injected with immoral and worthless ideas. Dismaying , right? But as what I’ve observed these actions are increment being practice which slowly degrade teenagers dignity and slowly vanish their moral values.

Worldly craving and being crazy about it, not only steals the youth towards their goal but also is a barrier towards the competition of being ahead that fact that their health is already at risk. Issues like these is already a talk of the town and already thrown towards. Youth must need to be follow-up by to society and if not their life will be just a waste and be miserable until they grow old.

It’s an irony that why on earth that these actions are existing well in fact we are Filipinos , and Philippines, is the sole catholic country in Asia and instead we have be morally upright and for me, it’s very shameful in our part.

Though you may find “No” hard to utter yet it has the life changing and life saving person.

So next time you feel like drinking, gambling, smoking, drag racing, use drugs and crave for sex, feel free to think and weigh over things and consider its consequence. These action are not worthy after all, all these will only harm you maybe not this instant but maybe in a long run, it may even kill you. You have your life and you’re still young, don’t waste time on poppycock. Dude, a young person who has the courage to say “No” is the true cool person but if you affirm then you’re simple dumb. It’s so simple my friend, all you need is discipline and self preservation. Start it now! ! ! ! !
