Peer Pressure

A troubled teen in crisis,
who’s dazed and all confused.
She’s alone in her own world,
depressed and feeling blue.

She says she is a princess
by the tiara that she wears.
Deep inside she’s lying
thinking no one really cares.

She brings about attention
by the way she likes to dress.
It’s how she shows her feelings
for words she can’t express.

A troubled teen with an attitude
too scared to ask for help
Too immature to understand
that she can help herself.

She wants to be accepted
by her most important peers.
She needs to feel she belongs
to survive her teenage years.

Decisions influenced by her peers
ignoring when it’s wrong.
A follower or a leader?
either way she must be strong.

Peer pressure can be most difficult
when the subject is about sex.
Drugs and alcohol are pressures to
and should always be addressed.

Being a teenager is hard work
it’s a wonder she’ll make it through.
With love and support all year round
dhe’ll do the best she can do.
