Hi 3B2! I thought of sharing a lesson i learnt for the past 2 months.

Friends are important but now i know, family is the the number one priority in your life. I did not appreciate my parents and now everything is screwed up. Really, they are the one who will be there through thick and thin. Friends always say that 'i'll be there for you' but how many of them actually do it? Those who do, they are your true friends. Talk is cheap. I gave in to cheap thrills and got my life screwed up. If you feel like your parents don't understand you, don't throw tantrums around. Be thankful that they provide you with a shelter and food. I dare you to put out your hand in public and ask someone ' hi, can give me money to eat?'. No one, i repeat no one will give you enough for a meal. Your parents love you so much, they scold you cause they love you. I didn't realise this till it was too late, i hurt my parents over and over again and i had enough of it.

Maybe some of you may think that rebelling is 'in' and is 'cool' but i am telling you now, when you are a rebel, everything just goes wrong in your life. There will always be scoldings from people who love and care for you. If you go to the wrong path and mix with the wrong company and your friends support you for this, those aren't worthy friends. Choose your friends properly, don't regret what will become of you in life.

During the upcoming holidays, remember to spend time with your family too, not only your friends.

With love,

Sonia Gill
