Foreword- Who Are You?
The answer seems to be obvious and simple, but it's actually not that simple. Some might say their names. Others may describe their personality. Why do you need to know who you are? Why wouldn't you know who you are? Many things can change the way a person feels about him or herself, too many to list. If you don't know yourself, how can you know others? Without knowing yourself, how can you do anything? You are one of the most important people you know. You live with yourself every moment of every day. You should know best how to make yourself happy, but not all people do. This leads to drugs, alcohol, and even suicide. These things are slowly devouring up more and more people as life goes on. Does this really need to happen? Most users on this wiki are teenagers, the next generation. More teen deaths are happening each and every day. What if a highly respected member of the WWiki community just suddenly vanished, and you learn that she are gone because she didn't learn to respect herself? The main reason more people are dying each day is because not many people are able to help them. More and more people fall victim to peer pressure and bad thoughts about themselves. You may try to hide it, but every single person feels bad about themselves, at least sometimes. What can you do for people feeling bad about themselves if you feel bad about yourself? This is the point I'm trying to make. What can you do about it?
