3 more things.

1. hi, you’ve been through too much stuff. not you exactly (well, i dont think), but your peers have, which affects you. i know that you care about them deeply, and you want them to stop what some of them do/are doing. it’s amazing how you’ve resisted every temptation in these two years of middle school, when people began to change. you always knew there was a better alternative, and turned to that, instead of things that could really hurt you. if you ever fall, you know you have friends (including me) to talk to. all your friends will be there for you, because you’ve always been there for them. i hope you continue doing as well for the rest of your life. you’re such a good role model and i look up to you!

2. hi, we talk about these things and what they can do to your body. we made promises that we would never do it. i plan on keeping that promise, even though it may be tempting at time. i’ve never had peer pressure on this before, so i really don’t know how i’ll react when i do. but in my head-scenario, i’ll think of all the promises i’ve made — to you, philine, grace, david.. and i just say no. i’m sure you’ll keep your promise too. remember, it’s not just a promise to me, but a lifestyle. Life is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift to God. Even if you give in, don’t worry; i’ll always be here for you if you want to talk. i know i can always talk to you about anything that’s going on. seriously. i love you!

3. hi, i think i know you the least out of these other two. but i know you’re a good kid. you have a great personality and you’re really nice to me. you have a lot of friends and i know it must be hard to resist. i don’t know if you did, but its disappointing. not necessarily as much that i would hate you. i care about you, though. you’re not going to northwood though, and it’s gonna be hard to keep up with you. i know you won’t read this, but try your best. i know you’re smart and you hate it when other people do it, but i guess you just gave in. i’m not mad, really, just disappointed, i guess. i never thought you would, but hey, it’s life. we’re not flawless, we always will regret some decisions. i just hope you regret it enough to stop though. but i know that you’re fantastic, and you know what’s best for you.
