Advice to youth
The youth of today
 Are not the youth of yesterday
 Or of previous days.
 All of the kids are influenced by bad things
 Even the people they thought were their closest
 And dearest friends, go behind their back
 Without thinking they make the worst decisions.
 You once heard they would never even be faced with.
 Parents stress about their kids
 Even when they’re at school
 Which is supposed to be one of the safest places for them.
 So keep your innocence
 Walk away from the people
 Who attract bad situations into your life.
 Be the good influence to other people.
 Be that person that everyone wants to be around
 Grasp your innocence and purity
 For as long as your clean hands can grasp it.
 Once you get a little dirt on those fingers,
 Clean them off again and stay out of the mud.
 Just like mom and dad used to tell you
 When you were living a young
 And innocent childhood.
 Keep your purity
 And always strive for the best thing in your life
 You deserve everything that the world has to offer.
