Is there anybody there? Hello? Can anybody hear me? You know that feeling when you don't feel alone... but are constantly stuck in a river of wonder, confusion & hope? The thing about society here in the 21st century is that teens, like myself, aren't as naive to the big bad world and the things going on, we are no longer oblivious to most things. We are familiar to practically everything.. apart from the things we should know so we are able to carve ourselves into independent, determined and successful adults. What do I mean? - Well, if you questioned a 13-16 year old on Politics I guarantee that 80% of them will not have a clue what you are talking about. But why should we know about stuff like that at this age? can't we just chill with our friends, have fun and learn about all of that jazz later? Can't I just remain on my halcyon demesne? I, myself have thought about these type of questions before, but we ARE smart & we ARE unstoppable and we CAN live the life we dream, but only if we do our part.
It is all about us. Us, we, together, the leaders of our niece's, nephews' & even our children's generations. Think about it, what are you doing in you're lives that will benefit you later on in life. Think, do you get drunk on weekend's, or do you spend time with family, which one makes you happier, which one will you regret a few weeks later, would you rather be told you got in a fight by your mates who couldn't help or prevent it because they were also out of it, or be able to treasure the special memories of family night? I know which I'd rather choose. So now is the time, are you winning or are you losing. Are you creating or are you deflating. Ok.. that was kind of a strange one but I don't regret it. Maybe you are thinking, 'It isn't that easy to get my family around like that' but that was only one example. What is your excuse for your health?
'It's fun, I don't care. I'm a teen this is what we do, back off!'
Do not be that person. Because that is so cliché & irritating. My thoughts right now are kind of dusty. Most of my friends get drunk all of the time. I'm not going to lie and say that it isn't hard, but by that I don't mean the desire to drink alcohol I mean it is hard because times change and people change and it is hard because they know in themselves deep down what they are doing and what the consequences are but simply can not accept it. I have pondered much on this and I have come to a conclusion that the shire fact of unacceptance of reality and consequences within our own minds leads to hatred, suffering, and crazy thinking toward the world and everyone we come across in our every day lives including our family and closest friends. This is actually what the older generations categorised as 'hormones' yes, hormones do play a big role in our lives but hormones don't lead us to depression, anxiety etc. In my opinion, we ourselves lead a life for those things to slowly creep up and we can choose now to be in the happy and not a care in the world of what others think about us mindset.. that way we can overcome the world. I know what and where I'd rather do and be.
I love every single teenager walking this Earth because I know our great powerful potential as we come together and create something no generation has ever seen. High expectations? No. - Future.
I accept Ashy!
LET'S MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE ;)
