Life. It's hard. And no one ever said it would be easy... In Fact no one said anything. You were brought into this world with no fair warning of the obstacles before you. No one ever asked you if you wanted to be born, you just were. You took life and ran with it, now here you are.
Teenager- it's the most difficult phase in life. Your not sure who you are, where you want to be, and your surrounded by people your not sure belong or not.
Being a teenager isnt as easy as it used to be. Parents always complain that it's not that hard, but times are different and it's not as easy to make friends and fit in these days, let alone keep them. Isnt that what everyone wants? To fit in and have good friends? Not as easy as it sounds.
In today's society if you dont look the part, dress the part and talk the part you are automatically an outcast. Then what makes it worse is that the outcast are divided into cliques. If you dont somehow fit into a clique you are now and officially a loner.
See what i mean? it's not easy, and thats just the Social aspect of being a teenager.
Lets not forget that there's school, and your home life.
School ofcoarse is overbearing. They give out work and load it on as though there class was the only one you take when in reality you have 7 other classes plus extra curricular activities. Now imagine. It's been a rough day at school, you have homework on overdose, you just got out of practice and it's now 8:30. You get home to have your mom fuss at you about not doing your chores. uhhh... Hello! we are not super heroes! We dont have super speed, or super strength! were just regular human beings!
Thats just the lucky kids home life. Some kids come home to parents in school, with multiple siblings, or maybe not even their parents. Some kids live with their grandparents and even foster parents. Life isnt easy.
Were just trying to find the peace in this life, and if we cant find we'll make it. This is a reason why many of us turn to drugs, alcohol, cutting ourselves (depression) i've first hand witnessed a friend pull out a blade and cut herself because she was feeling bad about herself. I personally have never gotten that low that i wanted to hurt myself but some do. Numbing the emotions really.
Those of us that live in a household where it's twice as hard as everybody else really have the hard time. This Economic crisis has really started effecting everyone. And times are hard on everybody. Surviving off of Ramen Noodles, and sandwhich's. Some of us have it hard because we have parents that are irresponsible, divorced, or on the verge of it. yeah. it's hard. And do we ever catch a break? NO! there is no such thing as a break. You just gotta take it and run with it like you did life. You cant help the cards that are dealt to you but you can play em' to your advantage.
