If you are reading this and indeed have divorced parents, they are in the process or are even a parent thinking of divorce, just remember that you are not alone. I was surprised I month ago when I was hanging out with some new friends and the topic of divorce came up. Half of the kids had divorced parents. Usually its me and a few others, but there really is more divorces than what it seems. In my net of close friends, I am however the only one with divorced parents. As a kid it should be nothing to be ashamed of, but it is still hard to talk about.

Going to a summer camp can be either an amazing experience or a haunting thought of boredom or rejection. A summer camp can be centered on any topic from leadership to a tennis camp. Getting back today from my own third summer camp, I have learned alot. The type of camp plays a great deal into whether the camp turns out to be awesome or not. A camp that you are forced into or pushed into for a purpose other than from your own heart is the first step down the wrong path.

As next year is my senior year, I can safely say that I know what has helped me though the past three years of high school. Since freshmen year, my friends and I have learned that no matter what trouble you may find yourself in, a good group of friends to hold onto is something that can never be replaced. The help and counsel that a close friend can give is something genuine that should not be underestimated.
