Know Yourself

I would like to say welcome to the Provocative Woman Campaign blog. My name is Terran. I would like to say that the well being of teen females is important. Like many of you, I’ve been in trouble and broken the rules, but one thing I never did was dwell on the past. Once I started to realize that my life and my future were my number one priority, I switched it around and forgave myself for my past.

To base yourself around the street life or how your “friends” want you to be is so overrated. You have to look at it like this; 10 years from now where will that “friend” be who got you hooked on weed. Or, where is that “friend” when you are in juvenile detention after she told you to do something you knew was below you and who you are.

Teen females need to think things through before making a decision because one decision can be a major life changing one. Think about your family and see how the choice you make will affect them in the long run. Think of how it can affect you mentally, physically, and emotionally, because you have to be aware of what it can do to you. Lastly, think of how it will benefit you and your life in the future.

Learn how to make good decisions because the wrong decisions can make you suffer greatly. You where meant to live for you and to run your own mind, so do it! You only live life once, so live it to the fullest!
