Teen Declaration To His Peers

“I want the children of the world to know that I am their advocate, companion and friend.  And that together we are going to change the future of the world.  No matter what the past has brought, we are going to decide the future.

If you have allowed yourself to be oppressed in the past, today is the day to realize your power, and with that power create your future.  If you have been hurt, condemned, teased, beaten, forced, ridiculed, or put down, you can overcome, you will prevail.

Use that energy you feel against the wrong, and bring love and light to your life, and help others to understand and feel that.  Today you have the power, you make your own choices.  Commit that you will not allow others to make them for you.  When you do this, you will bring peace into your life and into this world.

Each day from now on, announce your place in this existence and be heard.  Be kind to yourself and know that you deserve happiness and accept it.

Then go out and find another that needs some of what you have chosen to be given.  Share with them some of what you have claimed.

Notice the lonely, the tired, the sad, the angry.  Have the courage to listen.  Make a difference in this world that will effect every living creature.  Choose this day to make that difference, it is yours.”
