| Taste Berries for Teens deftly combined teen contributions and responses with the commentary and sensitive advice of adult coauthors, showing teens that we each can make life better through our love and compassion.
Designed as a companion piece for Taste Berries for Teens, this journal offers teens space to write about their own feelings on self-worth; friendship; love and relationships; how to create an attitude for life success; how to decide what to do in life; how to give, share and make a difference; and how to cope with stress-filled and embarrassing moments. In Taste Berries for Teens Journal, coauthors Bettie B. Youngs, Ph.D., Ed.D., and Jennifer Leigh Youngs will also provide commentary to help readers use the journal to sort out their feelings, responsibly deal with their difficulties and effectively solve their problems. Teens will be able to use this journal not only to express their innermost feelings, explore unlimited possibilities and describe their fondest dreams, but also-and even more important-to turn those possibilities and dreams into reality. This journal is sure to become the trusted companion and guide of all who use it, as they journey toward making their lives better and brighter. |
PART 1 Who I Am:
Creating an Identity of My Own Our life is like a piece of paper on which every passerby leaves a mark. Chinese Proverb I Am . . . Accept Me as I Am . . . Who Am I ? . . .
The Paintbrush I keep my paintbrush with me, wherever I may go,
In case I need to cover up, so the real me doesn't show.
I'm so afraid to show you me; afraid of what you'll do,
I'm afraid you'll laugh or say mean things; afraid I might lose you.
I'd like to remove all the layers, to show you the real, true me,
But I want you to try to understand; I need you to like what you see.
So if you'll be patient and close your eyes, I'll remove the coats real slow,
Please understand how much it hurts, to let the real me show.
Now that my coats are all stripped off, I feel naked, bare and cold,
And if you still find me pleasing, you are my friend, pure as gold.
I need to save my paintbrush though, and hold it in my hand,
I need to keep it handy in case someone doesn't understand.
So please protect me, my dear friend, and thanks for loving me true,
And please let me keep my paintbrush with me, until I love me, too.
