"Teenagers have no reason to be unhappy"

"Teenagers overreact"

"Teenagers are too young to have problems"

Teenagers have feelings.

It's hard being a teenager. We aren't perfect, we get hurt, we fall in love, we cry, we laugh..

I became a teenager with a part of me trying to grow up and mature and another part of me holding on to the child I used to be.

We face reality when we become teenagers.

People shock us.

We wake up from our unrealistic dreams and we see the world from a different perspective.

We notice that not everyone is 'good'.

People disappoint us.

We get so shocked by the world and the people around us.

We get our hearts broken.

We start facing problems we never thought we'd face.

We realize that the world is not necessarily a 'safe' place and we experience the most shocking experiences.

It's not easy. We will have our bad days. We will ignore people. We will be rude. We will be mean sometimes. 

But it's only because we're growing up. We're learning.

Don't expect us to be perfect.

Preach!

You Can't Change Anyone

You can't change anyone but yourself.
No matter how hard you try, if a person is not willing to change they will not change.
Everyone is different. Nobody's the exact same. They might not show it but deep down they are different.

If you're mad at a friend, you can never change him/her because no matter what they will always go back to the person they were. They have to be the people they want to be. Because even if you think you've changed them, you haven't. You can only advise them.
Not even parents can change their kids. Because their kids can be the people they wanna be behind their backs.

Don't like someone? You don't have to hang out with them.
Don't like a friend's personality? Then you're not really friends; cause true friends accept each other.
Want someone to be different? They won't change for you. Advise them. But don't resist because the more you resist the more they'll rebel.

You don't know why a person is the way he/she is. You don't know what they're going through.
Accept each other. Have open minds and open arms. Be there for the ones you love. Offer a helping hand. Because that's all you can do.

Before You Scroll Down.. Read This

The posts on this blog are posts I've written a year ago. I've changed. I might not agree with some of the things I wrote back then. I agree with most. In the future I might not even agree with what I'm going to write right now. But I will not delete my posts. I'm not perfect, I'm growing up and changing too. I write to express myself, and I'm not trying to please or impress anyone.
