Speech: Choices

"I went to a party, And remembered what you said. You told me not to drink, Mum, So I had a sprite instead. I felt proud of myself, The way you said I would, That I didn't drink and drive, Though some friends said I should. I made a healthy choice, And your advice to me was right, The party finally ended, And the kids drove out of sight." Good choice. Every time we step …

…parents had, I'd still be alive. My breath is getting shorter, Mum I'm getting really scared. These are my final moments, And I'm so unprepared. I wish that you could hold me, Mum As I lie here and die. I wish that I could say, "I love you, Mum!" So I love you and good-bye." Choices.... as teenagers we can lessen and even eliminate unneeded pain and suffering by making better choices in our lives.
