Life young, wild, and free.
Do what makes you happy.
Don't half step in anything you do
Stop letting others opinions bother you.
Start following your first mind.
Never settle.
Always stay confident.
Welcome others in your life at an certain extinct.
Create and keep positive moods.
Bring joy into any atmosphere.
Learn to accept your flaws.

I was instructed to create a manifesto with a list a words given and a teenage life came to mind with my list of words. Teenage lives are the hardest times when growing up. I'm still a teen so I can relate. Most teens withdraw from parents, but some sink into themselves too far. They may feel profoundly alone and alienated, unable to connect with any safe adult. They crave friendships but feel too demoralized and fearful to reach out to others or respond to friendly overtures. Many struggling teens have poor self-images and little confidence. They doubt that they can be competent and successful, and they become increasingly cut-off from school, family, and friends. These teens are easy prey for involvement with the “wrong crowd” because of their hunger to belong.
