My Choice

I don't not drink because my parents have always told me not to. I don't drink because that's not the kind of person I want to be. I don't want to be so drunk I don't know what I'm doing or saying, or what others are doing to me. I don't want to act stupid. I feel like its pointless. And not only that, it kills brain cells. I dont know about anybody else, but I need all the brain cells I can get.

And when I'm older, I can't tell my kids not to drink if I did. That's hypocritical, and that's just not the type of person I am. I've seen way too many dumb drunk people in my 16 years that that's exactly what I don't want to be. Sure when I'm older I'll drink wine, but not until then.

Too many teens I know think it's the "cool" thing to do on the weekends. Sweet, you can steal alcohol from your parents and get drunk at home. Are you supposed to get an award or something?

Thats not me.

Sincerely,
This would happen
