captain morals-girl

I've been meaning to post this for a while. I figured I ought to provide a little encouragement to other girls that having standards and morals isn't completely unheard of, like some people seem to believe. Yeah, lots of people are pretty lax and don't really think it's important to abstain from some stuff, but there are also plenty of people who "just say no" (gawd, am I starting to sound preachy?).

What I mean is that it's not so bad socially and all to say you're not gonna drink, or smoke, or do drugs, or cheat in school, or whatever. Don't ever do any of those things just because people around you are. They've all got BIG consequences, and if everyone stopped to consider just how crappy they are, lots more people would stay away from that stuff.

So anyway, here's some stuff I believe in. You should know that I'm not religious, so none of this is 'because God said so.' It's just 'cause I value my health and integrity.

I'll spare you all my sermons... just trust that I've got good reasons to stay away from these things. Now read away. :)

  • I don't drink
  • I don't do drugs
  • I don't smoke
  • I don't lie
  • I am very careful with/about boys
  • I don't dismiss people before I get to know them
  • I don't betray my friends
Ought there to be more? Maybe I'll think of some more things to put here. Gee, I sound stupid. "I DON'T DO DRUGS"... lerrr...
