Closely identify the gap between what society says we should become and what we really do become, and find that this gap intensifies our own madness.
We are a society that expects young women and men at such a young age to be so cheerful, punctual, secure, making all natural gloom and dark humor extinguishing. Drawn to things that make us feel so socially accepted, we are burdened with a hollowness that surely will haunt us all until adulthood. How often do we all feel as if we can truly discuss the spots in life that make up fatigue and dwell on personal failure? Why is it we all suffer in the dark, and the dark only becomes darker?
The things we are told to want in life are supposed to make you feel glamorous and fulfilled, but really we find ourselves discouraged with a misunderstanding that seems rather poisonous. Teens are oddly repetitive and distrustful, and seem unable to find relationships that are meaningful. This is why we all complain, hate our jobs and wish to be wealthier, better looking or decide to party more. Us teens blame the adults, and the adults blame the teens, but really we are all in the same insane state of being.
So we find ourselves wrong, and wrong again. We are the only ones in the world who feel this way, and in this new adventure to reality we face utter unreality. The unreality grows and soon becomes the new reality.
How hard it is to not fall into a trap that we may not see ever existed. The glass around us is sometimes too thin to really notice, and we forget that the images on the news are hand picked and pick-pocketed from one another. We forget the insignificance of a politician, and are too starved to disclose the danger of democracy.
That is what being a teenager is truly like. It’s bitter and has a potential hardly explored, and the expectations are not too high- but too empty. It would take merely nothing to look around, or think about how much food you throw away, or assist at a local shelter, but we don’t.
