ADOLESCENCE IS HELL!!!!

Hey, what’s up? I’m just another teen trying to survive this weird thing called life. I don’t really know why I’m writing this, but maybe if I put my thoughts out there, someone will get it. So, here’s the deal: being a teenager totally sucks. Like, seriously, it’s the worst. And you know what? I hate everyone around me, too. Yeah, I said it.

First, let's talk about expectations. Everyone expects you to have your life all figured out. Like, really? I can barely figure out how to get through the day, let alone what I want to do for the rest of my life. Teachers, parents, random adults — they all keep asking the same annoying question: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Um, I don't know, can I just focus on surviving this math test first? Then there’s the friend drama. Ugh, don’t even get me started. One day you’re besties, and the next day it’s like you don’t even exist. People are fake, and it’s hard to know who you can actually trust. Everyone’s trying to fit in, but at the same time, they all act like they’re too cool for you. It’s exhausting, and honestly, I’m over iT. 

First off, let’s talk about expectations. Everyone expects you to have your whole life figured out. Like, seriously? I’m barely figuring out how to get through the day, let alone what I want to do for the rest of my life. Teachers, parents, random adults – they all keep asking the same annoying question: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Um, I don’t know, can I just focus on surviving this math test first?

Let’s talk about being “cool.” What does that even mean? Everyone’s trying to impress everyone else, but honestly, who cares? Trying to keep up with the latest trends, having the right clothes, saying the right things – it’s exhausting. And in the end, it doesn’t even matter because, spoiler alert, high school is temporary, and none of this stuff will matter in a few years. But try telling that to my anxiety.

So, yeah. Being a teenager sucks. Everyone around me is annoying, fake, or just plain clueless. Maybe I’m just going through a phase or whatever, but right now, it feels like the world is out to get me. And you know what? I’m allowed to be angry about it. Because, honestly, being a teenager is hard, and sometimes it feels like no one really understands.

But hey, if you’re reading this and you get it – if you feel like screaming into a pillow or just hiding from the world – know you’re not alone. We’ll get through this, somehow. And maybe, just maybe, one day we’ll look back and laugh about how dramatic we were. But for now, I’m sticking to my story: being a teenager totally sucks, and I hate everyone around me. So there.

Thanks for coming to my rant. Peace
