Living As An Teenager In 2021
Life is not easy yet you still have to persevere through it.
There is no such thing as perfect
I try my best to please my parents
From time to time I mess up
Dealing with Depression and Anxiety is no fun
Feeling like everything you do is never right
The constant fear of getting yelled at because of something you did
Yes you may deserve it but not with a harsh tone behind it
Working hard on your homework
Barely being able to keep your head above water
Trying your best to get A’s but barely being able to pass your classes
The constant fear of someone trying to pick a fight with you
Seeing fights happening in your own school
School is supposed to be a place where you can feel safe
Yet it feels like its the opposite
Seeing people post about the parties they attend and feel like your getting left behind
The fear of judgment based on your clothing choices
They say nobody will remember in 30 years but they will remember now
Getting mistreated by things you cant help
If your skinny they say to eat more
Yet if your “fat” they say to go on I diet
If you don’t have any muscle your a weakling
People will judge you by your body
If you have small breasts people will say “You’re flat-chested” or “you look like an ironing board”
They say if your “fat” you can’t wear crop tops
Its a cruel world that we are growing up in
Seeing on the news about protests going on
Watching police hurt innocent people
Seeing people raiding the White House
Even with all of this going on there is still hope
One thing that nobody can take away from you is your will power
Be the change you want to see in the world
