I believe...

1. I believe that bullying is a a major issue that leads to many teen suicides.
2. I believe that eating disorders are a true mental state and that people should not judge you if you have one.
3. I believe that many teenagers dont understand the real damage that drinking and smoking while they are in their teens can affect their health and their lives in the future.
4. I believe that people live for the expectations of others rather then what they truly want to do.
5. I believe teenagers don't understand the severity of having a child while they are in their teens. 

Bullying is a major issue that leads to many teen suicides. The thing that appalls me the most is the fact that kids can feel so hopeless that they will end their lives. More and more teens are committing suicide at a younger age now a day. Not only are teens ending their lives because their peers are making fun of them, but also the parents of the peers have led to some of the deaths. Insults that were once meant as a joke can eventually lead to a lack of hope and confidence ultimately ending in death. Some friends and family have known about the continued bullying issue and have just brushed off the issue, after the deaths of their loved one they regret not stopping it sooner. It only takes one person  to stop a suicide, and that person can be you.
