I am Lyla P,<\/p>\n
Optimistic, courageous, influential, and understanding <\/p>\n
Admirer of those who communicate effectively and express their views calmly <\/p>\n
Who fears for one who doesn\u2019t assess their circumstances properly and responds in a way that causes dangerous consequences <\/p>\n
Who needs positive peer pressure, so I can clearly evaluate the right decisions to make that will maintain a stellar reputation <\/p>\n
Who tries to avoid situations when my \u201cfriends<\/strong>\u201d pressure me to make immature decisions and harm my body <\/p>\n Who wants to be a confident upstander<\/strong> for my friends when they\u2019re in unsafe situations <\/p>\n Who hates those who anonymously bully innocent people through the internet and don\u2019t get caught <\/p>\n Who knows that there are great humans in the world that will stand up for those who get bullied in the shadows everyday <\/p>\n Who hears the juvenile behavior from behind the middle school walls that are promoting underage drinking and other unhealthy habits <\/p>\n Who sees strong individuals fighting for change and helping those people rehabilitate <\/p>\n Who worries for vulnerable people who are preyed upon by negative pressure, and end up becoming addicted to tobacco, which harms themselves and others around them <\/p>\n Who wishes that one day the government will make a law to outlaw smoking <\/p>\n Who feels sorrow for all the innocent lives lost to D.U.Is each year <\/p>\n Who would like to see more preventative and proactive programs that will help recuperate from alcohol overdose for all people <\/p>\n Who pretends the opioid crisis is just magically going to end one day <\/p>\n Who will aid and give comfort to people struggling with addiction and help them regain careers and friends in society <\/p>\n Who hopes that my peers and I will continue to make the right decisions which will lead to more open doors and opportunities <\/p>\n Who finds happiness in achieving my goals and striving to accomplish more such as staying gritty on the soccer field and never giving up <\/p>\n Who cares for citizens and animals who don\u2019t have a voice in this wide world of ours <\/p>\n Who strives to be an advocate for the voiceless, the environment, and even myself and my own views <\/p>\n Who enjoys confidently expressing my opinions to my fellow classmates and peers to try and inspire them to be the best they can be <\/p>\n Who gives advice to those fighting unseen battles on how to recover and find joy in life again <\/p>\n Who dreams of a world where there is peace, good fortune, health, and kindness <\/p>\n Who loves when humankind treats each other as equals and not just how they look on a spread sheet <\/p>\n Who pledges to be true to myself, my family, and the great community that we share and live in <\/p>\n Who will do my best to succeed in my adventure next year in middle school <\/p>\n That\u2019s what DARE taught me <\/p>\n Lyla P (6th<\/sup> Grade)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am Lyla P, Optimistic, courageous, influential, and understanding Admirer of those who communicate effectively and express their views
