The Problem

High school is, for lack of a better word, weird; It exposed for the first time sex, drugs and crime. At first I, a child in a changing body and world, fear interference will leave me a victim. But, as I mature and find friends and acquaintances succumbing to negative behaviors, I know I must take action.

Plan of Action

I gather reinforcements and we begin to research. We analyze book after book, examine webpages galore, until our training ceases and we battle. We battle ignorance. We came to the conclusion lack of education is the reason our peers make such negative choices. So, I found TeenTogetherNow at teentogethernow.org; an organization dedicated to changing choices through spreading knowledge. Negative pressure surrounds us on all fronts; every day TeenTogetherNow receives emails and requests seeking help from people who follow us and people who stumble across us. We help them all as best we can, for we know only when we “teen together”, can we maintain an air of positivity in a grey world.
