society killed the teenager

Happy? We’re not happy. We are angry, we are angry people, angry at the world we have been given, angry at this society we live in. And you wonder why our generation is failing. It is because we have so many expectations but nobody to help us, nodody to guide us, to BELIEVE in us. We are not trusted but made to act responsible, being told the rules but not how to avoid breaking them. We are living in a society where we are doubted, looked down at and hated, but we are expected to show respect. We lack knowledge because we are not taught what we should know. We are taught subjects but not life lessons; and this is where we go wrong because we have nobody to teach us right from wrong, then you blame the parents, but if we’re talking realistically what time do parents really have on their children/teenagers nowadays? None, because they are taken away by having to put in so much work so they can earn the right amount of money to keep their family stable, to help them survive, they are working hard because it is so easy to loose a job now, but so hard to find a new one. They are working for the money, that the government doesn’t even want to give them. Its like you spit on our names yet want us to look up to yours. But the problem here is you, you don’t trust us and you’re to ignorant and scared to put us in charge, to give us responsibility, to let US put anything into our own community. And that is not cool. You expect us to be happy but that word is nothing to many of us, it had no meaning, we are ablivious to it. Because in our generation, there is nothing to be happy about.

Each generation takes it turn finding out about the American Dream which by the time you are old and grey you discover it was that only a dream
