Author's Note - In the last few chapters of Jekyll and Hyde, Hyde's evil personality begins to overpower Jekyll. Even though a chemical susbtance is used for this drastic transformation, this entire situation can relate to how peer pressure filling the school hallways can change a person.
I look around me and I'm not sure where I belong.
The distinctive cliche groups of humanity surrounding me attack me with their manipulating words.
My peers hand out cigarettes like it is their second nature and alcohol like it is a necesity.
Like everyone else, they say, "Relax, everyone does it" or "it's the cool thing to do".
My thoughts circle through my mind like a stampeding bull, trying to figure out exactly what is "right" or "wrong".
My mind is telling me yes, that it is okay, but my heart is telling me no.
Confidently, I said no to those bad influences.
No.
A simple no was all the it took to make me realize that I truly do know where I belong.
