Today was particularly happy day not to mention the ACTS party however one thing bothers me. What is that, you might ask? In a word, DRAMA; specifically, teenage drama.
When I was a child, I didn’t like teenagers. What is up with their stupid clothes that are either too tight or too loose, or with their forced accents or them getting angry with their parents over little bickering that otherwise could have been easily solved if they haven’t been so melodramatic. They think they know everything so they disregard the opinions of a much mature and experienced mind. Ah yes, teenagers.
This may seem strange since I am in my own adolescent stage where I too am experiencing (hormonal) changes, but I have noticed something during my stay with my prepubescent peers. It is the usual “I am not who you think I am.” or the more aggressive “You think you know me but you don’t!” I believe this is due to their search of their “identity” amongst their circle of friends and they are showing signs of dissatisfaction with the “identity” that this circle has bestowed upon them.
I may understand this dissatisfaction since most of their comrades are, indeed, quick in judgement however one cannot help but judge according to what the senses behold. How can you not say a person personality is like that if that is what his actions and words reflect?
Here is typical conversation among adolescents:
Guy#1: What’s wrong? You look down.
Guy#2: You wouldn’t understand.
Yes, this only shows how teenagers think that they know everything and if they couldn’t help themselves, certainly no one can. Of course, it is better to seek, even a little bit, of help from others (specially from their age group who are likely experiencing similar problems) and how can Guy#1 dare to hope of understanding what the problem is if Guy#2 won’t tell him?! Again, I dislike teenagers.
Thank you.
