I understand some people can’t go to their parents because I know some certain parents will say that the teenagers are just overreacting and that whatever they are fretting over is just some silly little teenage problem, Well yeah it is because of a ‘Silly little teenage thing’ to you maybe, but to us teenagers it is a huge issue and you say that you have been a teenager too and you have been through these kinds of things, but no, you haven’t actually… are you saying that you have been stuck in a society where people literally find the smallest little problems to pick on, A society where if you be yourself that so many people will judge you, A society where so many people think they are so much higher than you, A society where there is so much pressure from the rest of the people to be just like them and if you are not like them you would be one of the castaways. Have you been in a society where there are so many labels put onto you all because you might prefer one gender over the other. Have you been in a society where all of the pressure to change history is dumped onto you, I mean you tell us to grow up or act our age when we haven’t been this age before we don’t know how to be ourselves because of the critical society. You would tell us to ignore it… but we can’t because well people are slamming you with stupid comments and nasty words every single day of our lives and when we finally get a break from it well then, we have the free time to over think about everything. Adults have you been in a society where every person is the same and if you are not like them then you get thrown away, “Don’t care what people say be yourself, who cares if you are called a castaway or something at least you can be yourself.” Well yeah at least we CAN be ourselves but we still get nasty comments and we still get majorly bullied over it. I am so sorry adults that we may not get the grades you want, I am sorry that we don’t dress like you want us to, I am sorry we don’t listen to the music you listen to, I am sorry that we don’t act like you want us to, I am sorry that we get attitude at random times. I am so sorry adults just let us be teenagers let us go out with our friends, let us go to Starbucks with our friends let me go shopping with my friends, let me go on my phone when I am bored. You know what hurts more than what you think? Being so freaking proud of something that we want you to know what we feel like we have accomplished, it might not be much like maybe we have reached 50 subscribers on YouTube or 50 followers on TikTok… and you guys show absolutely no emotion like you seem to not care you don’t notice how much effort we put into so many things just to have you shrug your shoulders. Adults to have you shame us and doubt us is the worst thing you can do to us. Like Parents have some faith in us teenagers be proud of us when we achieve something even if is so small because having your appraisal is one of the best things someone could get…

When we start arguments or you yell at us we can never put in our say when we do try speak our minds we are always told to stop back chatting and arguing back or talking back. We were raised not to back chat and argue back but now look what has happened we can’t even speak our point in an argument

I know not all parents are like this and I mean no hate or disrespect at all I just wanted to point this out and that some Teenagers are really struggling with life right now
