It sucks bein a teen sometimes

God this time of life is confusing. So much is expected of us. We dont know what we want to do/be. Dont know what crowd to hang in. Dont know what kind of decisions to make. It's just kinda difficult, ya know. Can anyone relate or am i just goin crazy? Damn hormones. But yeah i want to be myself but i cant around my family. Its weird.

 

We have a culture that totally screws young adults. Because of economic and social reasons, we delay their entry into the adult world for way to long and prolong the childlike overprotection. The only answer is to keep your head down - think your own thoughts and wait it out. It will pass my friend.

 

What do you mean, sometimes?

 

no one really can grasp how much buulshit we have to go through. adults excpect that teens are all just a bunch of punks its so stupid.

 

I have kinda just decided to be a hippy now. I think thats what i actually am inside and am gonna try it for a while. Hopefully it will lead to more positive thoughts and a more positive life.

 

I agree, straight up discrimination against our age group.

 

if you dont know what crowd to hang out with, just avoid all of them. .

 

darling.. your starting post is awfully similar to the descriptions of adolescents i find in those stupid teenage-parenting books...who says you have to be dealing with it that way?

i'm still in those supposedly transitional and inconvenient years aswell but honestly- just because everyone thinks i'm supposed to be confused and troublesome, i'm not going to let that description get to me... because i feel fine now and although i dont know exactly what i want to do with my life and where i'm going to live and how much money i'm going to make and i dont feel like dealing with adults who call themselves my parents and are trying to boss me around- ITS THEIR PROBLEM! i feel stable and secure and i am enjoying learning about the variations of people and choices we all make.. i am enjoying my "teenage" time.. going through the cliche 'teenage life' is actually nourishment and occupation to my mind which would otherwise be bored.

the older world is trying to deny us of what they once went through themselves. that's their problem.

 

but you're not stupid and you know that so its not your issue to deal with- the adults will have to realize they are creating the problem by creating this one.

 

Yeah I know exactly what you mean...

BTW led zppelilin fan I dig your sig.

 

thanks.

 

Hey by the way, did I mention that I was a teenager once?

What happens when you reach adulthood is you get an understanding as to exactly why you don't host a kegger in your house while your parents are away.

I remember the aftermath (I wasn't there). They helped themselves to his dad's wine cellar, took hundreds of CDs (some irreplaceable), someone even stole the toilet.

Phone was glued to the wall, the insurers figgered there was about $20,000 worth of damage. Not covered, sadly.

 

Thats what I'm doing by starting a new me. I've decided I dont like who i am or what i've become so i'm gonna start a new me. A new me with patience, acceptance, and more happiness. Does anyone know any good sites where i can get some cool hippy clothes?

 

man this time of life sucks, im too wierd for girls to like me and my hormones are goin mad like damn monkeys released from a zoo, I can never stick to one topic and marshmellows are tasty!

everytime someone asks that it makes everyone who hates the yh hate it more.

 

^yh?

 

1) Kirk is right, the "how do i be hippie, where can i ge the cloths to be a hirrpie" stuff really makes the YHers [YH meaning young hippies] really wanna eat your face just so you know

2) There is no such thing as and "old" and "new" you. You are always you, just being influenced by different environmental and chemical stimuli.

 

im mark. not kirk.

 

it's true, there is no such things as hippie clothes or anything material being "hippie" hippie is not material it is all in the mind
