Okay, I understand it a little bit. The law doesn't want teenagers drinking but, is it like they listen? My thing of it is that, if there is an age, more illegal people are going to go drink, smoke and/or do drugs. So, if there wasn't a limit would there be less people who do smoke, drink or do illegal drugs or will the percentage go even higher? Honestly though, look into your community and think about that. I know that most of my friends wouldn't do those things if they could. Is that the same with your friends?

Everything you have will someday be gone. Even if you don&rsquo;t miss it now, you probably will later. So take pictures and hide them in your memories so you can recall them later after everything that is becomes everything that was. OR I know you&rsquo;re hurting, even if it&rsquo;s just when you&rsquo;re alone and thoughts seem to rush into your head and you can&rsquo;t seem to keep them from coming in. But there can be beauty in pain; Even though sometimes it&rsquo;s hard to see.
