Can I be a good liar? I doubt it. It is best to ALWAYS tell the truth. The truth may hurt for a short period of time. To be a good liar you will have to remember exactly what you tell everyone and make sure that you tell them or anyone else EXACTLY the same lie every time. Lies that are told to one person might come back to haunt you later through another person. You can then become known as a liar and it may get to the point that nobody believes anything you say, even if it is the truth. Telling lies will also lead others to not respect you as a person.
If you keep telling lies, you will eventually get to the point that you are believing your own lies. This will eventually hurt you because, in your own mind, you expect the lies to be the truth, but it is not the truth and you will be constantly disappointed. This will also tend to make you unhappy.

Back to menu Why should I not drink? Alcohol is a drug just like any other drug and it can be misused. Once again, you may be asked by your peers to drink and a simple "NO" may gain you more respect from your friends than you could possibly believe. If you do drink and are not able to control your actions, you may do things while under the influence of alcohol that you wish you had not done. The reason that laws against underage drinking are in place is because, as a drinker, you are expected to know your limits. By setting an age limit, the government is trying to protect you from irresponsible actions, because of lack of maturity. You will also note in life that there are immature drinkers at every age that may need help from a true friend at times. Here are some books that may be of help.

Why are you so religious? My religion is very personal to me. You may think that I am exhibiting a weak trait because I practice a religion. You have probably noticed that many people only turn to religion at Christmas, Easter or the death of a relative or a friend. As a younger person, many feel that it is not necessary for them to be religious. A religion helps me to deal with the problems that I have in everyday life. My religion will support me when I have to deal with the death of a friend or a relative. My religion gives me hope for a life after death that I can look forward to enjoying.
A person once told me this little story: When talking to someone that is not a believer in a religion, just ask them that if they are right, and I am wrong, what have I lost but if I am right and they are wrong, what have they lost? Here are some books on religion.

Back to menu Why do I hate my stepfather (stepmother)? Your stepfather or stepmother is not a blood relative but he or she does love and did marry your mother or father. They do love each other and you should at least respect their relationship. Your stepfather or stepmother may also say things to you that your mother or father will not say. You may resent them becoming a part of your family. What they say may be the truth, and deep down inside you know that they are right, but you resent them for just being right. Here is a book that may be of help.

Why is it not good to be materialistic? A materialistic person can have a lot of trouble because they will never be satisfied. They will always want more. If a materialistic person had millions of dollars, there will still be things that they want, but can not obtain. Love and friendships that have nothing to do with the ability to buy material goods can make people very happy and satisfied with life. Here is a book that may be of help.

Back to menu Why should I be responsible for my actions? When you do things, only you can possibly be responsible. You should not use peer pressure as an excuse. A simple, firm "NO" will make you a respected person that can be a leader instead of a yes person that is destined to always be a follower. Peer pressure is very powerful and weak people bow to it because it is so easy. You should NEVER react based solely on peer pressure. Your actions will ALWAYS mean more than anything you may say. You may want to blame others for your actions because that is easy but it is also irresponsible. Ultimately only YOU are responsible for your actions or inactions. Here are some books that may be of help.

Why did you get a divorce? Divorce may be necessary because of several reasons. As everyone grows, they will change. It is also possible for a mother and a father to have married without truly being in love. Divorce may be necessary because of actions of one or both of the parents. If your parents are divorced, you will have to accept it as fact, and you should respect their privacy and not push to find out why they had to get a divorce. Here are some books that may be of help.
