Hooked - the pressures of youth.

(A cautionary tale composed by a 12 year-old at our local school).

I am the kid who puts on a show;
Game for anything - never says ‘No’.

I am the kid who loves a good joke;
The ‘lad’, the ‘man’, the really good bloke.
I am the kid who wants to be cool;
Pressured to fight, to break every rule.
I am the kid who must be accepted;
Does what he’s told in case he’s rejected.

I am the kid so desperate to grow;
I am the kid who cannot say ‘no’.

I’m wanted & needed; the feeling’s so good;
My mates are hard; we’re so feared in the hood.
It started with weed; a bit of a smoke;
And ended with heroin, smack & some coke.
A knife for protection & then came a gun;
And life became different - no longer much fun.

I am the kid who must go with the flow;
I am the kid too scared to say ‘No’.

I am the kid dependent on dope;
I’ll do anything for drugs - a life with no hope.
I steal, I fight, I do what I’m told.
My mates push me on - they’re cool & I’m bold.
And now that I’m hooked, along comes the day;
I must prove my worth & pay my way.

I was the kid, stoned out of his head;
Whose really cool mates just left him for dead.

I was the kid who did it for show;
Game for anything - just couldn’t say ‘No’.
