ALL people have Problems
SOME of the time
SOME people have Problems

It's important to REALLY
THINK for YOURSELF!

DON'T GET DRAWN INTO
SOMEONE ELSE'S WEB

People have a need to be A PART
of what is going on around them,
other People and so on, and to keep themselves APART too

And it can lead us into Trouble!

You can Make Your Own Theories!
You Don't Have to accept Other People's
