"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!
