Loneliness can be a boon or bane. Most of us do feel lonely at some point of our life. But fortunately we come over it soon because of our perseverance and circumstances around us. But a few unfortunately fail to get over it. This is time when loneliness will be a bane when it will corrode subtly our whole being. Most teenagers feel this especially those who are under peer pressure. Teenagers tend to think if they don't have a boy friend or a girlfriend, there is something wrong with them. As a result they go after seeking for this unreasonable way of life and end up in the trap of drugs, alcoholism, skin trade and so on. Ultimately it will ruin the life of a beautiful creation of God in the hands of evil doers. Nip in the bud is the idiom appeals me to some extent, where if you nip it for the benefit of the bud, than its fine, but nipping in the bud for someone's benefit is absolutely wrong and will lead to a disastrous ending. I think if you don't have a boyfriend or a girlfriend nothing to worry, it is because you are not yet ready not that something wrong with you as the popular trend would advertise.
Peer pressure is the key issue to most our problems in the world. Peer pressure not among the teenagers, it can be with anyone. If my friend has an iphone, than I also must have, this is typical consumeristic attitude which has dominated the world market. I am not saying it is wrong to have an iphone but is it really needed for me or do I have enough income to possess one of those phones. We need to watch out for this evil of peer pressure, most often this will tempt us in a subtle, fascinating way. If we are not careful, it is assured that we succumb to it soon. This ultimately will lead us into an emptiness of self and this I would call loneliness.
Therefore my dear friend especially teenagers, watch out for this. Let us not succumb to unreasonable trends of the world today where external drives are very attractive and most dangerous.
