More than a Statistic
34,34 percent of teenage girls have at least one pregnancy before they turn 20
70,more than 70 percent of teenagers in general have at least one drink by the age of 18
60,60 percent of the population does drugs and gets them from a family member or friend
But I will die before this becomes me
I will not be just another percentile another statistic
I am more than a blank face in an endless group of numbers
I am a difference and I will prove it
17,17 percent at least half of those girls could've been raped or pressured into sex or might have just made a mistake
35,35 percent of teenagers can pick up a drink because of peer pressure or weakened judgement
30,30 percent of teenagers could've been taught drugs are cool or tricked into taking them
But the statistic doesn't say that it just says a number
A number that represents disappointments, failures
But it's time we destroyed that number
We took a stand to make a change
To break through the statistics that continually keep us down
Yes it is time for us to not be some random percentage
But to just be you original imperfect
It is time that we accept that we are going to make mistakes
And learn from them because I refuse to go the rest of my life falling into a category
Because I am and always will be more than a statistic
