Teenager

A funny age, where you're not quite a child - not quite an adult. Little kids think it's cool to be a teenager (it isn't). Adults assume we're all dumb fuckers who get drunk on benches and cause trouble (not all of us). People always say if a teenager is unhappy or going through a tough time, it's down to hormones. How irritating for someone to say this, when you're going through genuine problems. A lot of us have major worries. School, jobs, family, relationships, friends, the way we look - there's a lot of expectations thrown upon us. Excuse us for not being jolly 24/7. We're also very well aware, the choices we make today will affect the rest of our lives. The last thing we want is to grow up to be old and bitter; full of regret! Just cut us some slack, please. Most of us are decent human beings!
