Being a Teen is Boring.

Most teenagers nowadays, like me, cannot have anything. Every single day my parents whine and complain about me staying at home and not doing anything except for being on my phone, but what else do they expect me to do?

I am too young for bars, clubs, and parties. I'm too old for playgrounds, playdates, and candy shops. It's always a different problem with them and I absolutely hate it! I want to go out for fresh air and trust me, I'm tired of staying in our god awful house all day, but they won't let me do shit! I don't understand what they even want from me anymore because what they want are always rapidly changing. 

They tell me to go out, socialize, have fun, but then moan and cry the moment I want to. "We don't know your friends or they're parents! How can we trust them to watch over you and your friends?" Not everyone is a pedophile, serial killer, or rapist, Mom. 

Each and every opportunity they have to actually talk to the parents of my friends, they never do! How is it my fault that you can't stay for 5 minutes to get to know them? And yeah, sure, they want me to be safe. But I don't think secluding me and making me do only what they want is the way to go about it. I'm practically losing my mind every weekend that I am away from all my friends!

I honestly don't like using my phone all the time. I prefer talking to people face-to-face and going out to have fun. But frankly, they give me no other option. Using my phone is my way of meeting people who have the same interests as me, it is my way of interacting with content I enjoy, but there is another way too. You wanna know what that is?? GOING OUT TO HANG OUT WITH MY DAMN FRIENDS!!! It is genuinely more irritating to me than anything else I've ever dealt with.

In a way, I may also be anxious about wasting my teen years. My life as a child was spent with me being stuck in my room. I don't want that to happen now, especially now that I know I have the freedom to go places and be with people I like. I was clueless before.

But, hey! What do I know, right? I'm just some loser stuck in his room all day. Adiós, cuates!
