Reckless and Rash

Growing up, peer pressure played an important role in my character development. I’ve been in situations where my so-called friends would tell me to do something that’s not correct. They would cheer at rash and reckless things, like drinking alcohol too much, destroying private properties, or even stealing. If I succumbed to every whims of my peers, and hung out with even more dangerous friends, then who knows what other worse acts I could do.
Looking back, I couldn’t believe how stupid I was. It was the cost of being young. I needed God to be my guiding light, but I rejected him. I fell flat on my face, several times. I could have avoided it, if I only listened to God and my Christian friends and family.
It was a lesson for me. I want and hope the new generation not to repeat these same mistakes.
They will… be reckless…
