Life of a teenager

A Story by ATaekwondo

How hard can a life of a teenager be....? I wrote this story back then when I was in year 6, but for some reason I lost it so I tried to re-write it

Sometimes I wonder... How hard a life of a teenager can be? No girlfriend, many friends which you can barely trust, joked by many because of the spots in my face, or because the hair is to big, or because I can't speak with a girl without embarrassing her...

Everyday, I walk to school, with this thought in my mind - "Another nightmare, another day of school and I know that I will be joked again!" - I live my life with the fear of never being able to be someone as great as you are.

My father once told me that, I have to believe in myself if I want to be, and I also have to work hard. Since my life experience since primary school, I didn't have many friends, well... I never had so many friends but one thing I know is, better is to have 2 or 3 friends who care about you and give their life for you and share their feelings with then a thousand friends who don't care if you are treated like a dog or even if you die.

I always wonder why do teenagers become bullies and why they are so cold hearted, no-one ever explained that to me, so I had to search for myself, and I came out with:

- Their lives sucks and they don't like it;

- They want power and they want to be recognized by everyone and respected, but what they don't know is that they are not respected because people like them, they are respected because people are afraid of them;

- They lost someone important or they suffer from aggression at home and so they become violent;

When I was little I used to be bullied, not physically but mentally, people said that I was no-one and I would never become a man in the future, then to all of you who said that and now that you guys are involved in drugs and crimes and I am here standing and holding you all...

" Get a life, you are still able to change and be someone like me."

This was quite well done. The emotions in it are so raw and real. This piece reflects my own little teenage life. I have no boyfriend, and every time I try to talk to a boy, I always embarrass myself. This is such an awkward stage in life, and certain people are too judgmental during it, picking at every small detail. I loved the part when you said that it's better to have a few good friends than a thousand "friends" who don't care about you. It was my favorite part through the entire piece because it's so honest and true.
Wonderful work,
Julia
