somewhere between the bad hangovers and the drunken heart to hearts there comes a point when you realize that all you need in life are a few good friends and a few good shots. ♥
I am…
I am a teenager. I am ignorant, illiterate, and irresponsible. I lie, cheat, steal, and hate for no apparent reason. I am rude, inconsiderate and, to all appearances, completely lost. I have never known failure, loss, or despair. I never talk to my parents about my life, and would never be seen with them in public. I don’t know the value of a dollar and am under the impression that money is cleverly disguised as foliage. I drive 90 miles an hour and cause wrecks and trouble where ever I travel. I know of events, current or past. I am superficial, loud, and obnoxious. I am viewed with haughty disapproval as a person who drinks, smokes and parties at every opportunity.
I am a teenager. I am a stereotype. I have been cast unfairly in the role of an impudent person who knows nothing, is inherently cruel, and always thinking of myself. I am the bane of a society of whom many have never read Tolstoy, Dickens, Bronte, Nietzsche, or Rousseau. I am dismissed by many of the generation who fear the day when I become an adult because the world will surely fall to pieces. When people look at me, they evaluate through lenses tinted with suspicion, mistrust and doubt.
Some will never know that I am compassionate, humble and patriotic. I am an athlete, singer, artist and comedian. I am a daughter, sister, student and friend. I laugh and cry. I speak out and I brood. I love, dislike and show indifference. I will be the next Nobel-Prize winner, best selling author, life-saving surgeon, president or beloved teacher. I have lofty dreams and the ambition to make them reality. I have determination and self-discipline to see every goal surpassed. I will go to college not just to party and have fun, but to pull myself one step closer to the destination I so greatly desire. Through kind words, intelligent conversation and common courtesy, I will change the misconception of youth.
One day, one person at a time, I will show those who judge that they are wrong. When I am an adult there will be a new collection of disrespect, reckless, hateful youth. Maybe, just maybe, when I look at them, I will see through the labels and see the promise of a future generation. For now, I am simply and proudly myself. I am faithful, loving and honest. I am inquisitive, intelligent and sincere. I am a leader, follower and teacher. I am a teenager.
