Being a teen sucks, doesn't it? 2004-02-17 00:35:25


A lot of adults can't seem to understand that maybe, just maybe, teenagers know what they're doing. We have to show you respect, but you show us none. Now I'm not saying EVERY adult is like this, but most are. Just because I'm young doesn't mean I don't know about life. I listen to my parents and everyone else that has a story to tell or something important to tell me. Love, sex, money, cars, people, school, and everything else. When I talk about things like this, people think I'm just some punk ass kid that doesn't know shit, and that I need to be taught a lesson. No one's perfect. We all go through life learning all we can, weather you know it or not. Everyday you'll learn something new. Life is full of suprises. Maybe people should start to take the time to listen to others, and how they feel. Just because a teen is in love doesn't mean it won't last. Just because humans don't have wings doesn't mean they can't fly. Just because something seems impossible, does not mean it is not possible. Everything, no matter how small the odds are, has a chance of happening. Maybe adults, and kids too, should take that into consideration. Now judge life. Questions aren't as easy to answer now, are they? Maybe because it used to be one way, doesn't mean it couldn't be another way now, or that it will never change. The only garuntee in life, is that life is lived. That's it. From tehre on, you're on your own. You always have somthing to learn, something to gain. Just because someone is younger than you, doesn't mean they don't know what's right, does it not?

IMO teenage years are pretty simple for me so far.

Dude, just give up. No one is listening to you anymore. If you wanna help out, help us bash DaFlame and his buddy, Freeze.

Response to Being a teen sucks, doesn't it? 2004-02-17 00:38:59


It's not the same. My last topics were about being with my girlfriend and about my friends. Besides, if you don't like my posts, stop reading them, if you even bother reading them.

Like he said, stop making topics to say things about the same history (you wanna marry, blahblahblah)
Well, you know her about 6 mouths... WTF
You still have no idea of what is knowing someone!
Like:
Did you know that she can do SHIT like you at the bathroom?
Or that he can fart better than you?

I mean, you are just thinking: WOW, we never made a dscussion since we met each other.....

Come on, people are flamming you cause you are thinking like stupid n00b(not BBS... LIFE).....
Just think of what are you saying, what are you planning...
Is like childs when they have 5 years old:
I gonna be a football player and i gonna have millions and everything that i want


BBS HERO! O RLY?

Like ive already said: i know 6 months aint a long time, and that theres no garuntee that we will get marrried, or that whatever is true, but i just hope for the best. I look at the positive, while the rest of you choose to look at the negative, at how i could be wrong, at how im too young to be in love, at how i despise being a teen even though i have hardly any responsibilities. I never said i didnt appreciate being a teen, its jsut that since i am a teen, im treated as if i dont know shit. Now, since you people think youre better than i am, why do you post on my topics? why are you wasting your time? hmmm? if you dont like me, dont bother talking to me.

You know, you DO have a valid point. After all, we can buy alcohol, tobacco, get into movies, and go to any clubs we want....

Exactly, and like I meant with a dumb teenager, it's amazing how just a couple of years can vastly improve your knowledge of life in general.

You know, I do understand what you are feeling, and I do believe that teenagers need respect. However, even at eighteen years old, I recognize that just two years ago, at sixteen, I did not know a lot of stuff about life that I do now.

"weep" I feel the same way. Life was a lot easier when I was a teen but college had its fun moments.

Just because a teen is in love doesn't mean it won't last. Just because humans don't have wings doesn't mean they can't fly. Just because something seems impossible, does not mean it is not possible.

COME BACK TO REALITY!!!!!!!!!!!Accept things how they are! if adults think we (teenagers) are immature+stupid it can only mean two things:

1)we really are
2) that adult is probably more immature than us and feels like he "doesnt have the time" to listen to us...

But listen to me: don't take life too seriusly or you'll never get out alive!!!

Response to Being a teen sucks, doesn't it? 2004-02-17 11:16:26


yeah, being a teen sucks. being able to drive and being legally able to buy alcohol..wait..*checks ID* oh snap! I'm 21, WOOO HOOO!!

sorry for the mix up :)

Being a toddler on the other hand....>all. Whenever I see a toddler with their parent I always think to myself, those were the days. Ya get your ass wiped for you, pretty much get anything when you want it....you pretty much have everything done for you, and its all free. :) Not to mention all of that good good sleep.

RE: Original Post

Wow, so many cliches in a single post. Don't you have any thoughts that weren't handed to you by parents, teachers, or lyrics from the rebel youth culture manufactured and pimped by the record labels these days?

Despite what the counter culture and your peer groups would have you believe, we've all been through similar phases, including (probably) even your parents. Where you rebel by dressing in the shock clothing/piercings/tattoos du jour, they rebelled with pot and mass anti war assemblies, and their parents rebelled with swing and jazz, and so on. It's psychological, a by product of your growing need to assert your individuality from your influences (which has been almost entirely been family and educators up to that point).

We've all had similar experiences. Maybe we don't think you're in love because we've also been that age, and felt we were "in love", and seen our friends be "in love", and then, years later, discovered how we were with entirely different people, or alone once again, and that the person we were "in love" with turned into a total bitch, or slept around behind our backs, or decided to go to a different college, or started taking drugs, or became a victim in a fatal driving accident, or expands their horizons a little and finds out that there are actually more decent people out there than the 5 guys that weren't immature assholes in their high school, with more compatible interests, desires, and fantasies.

So forgive our pessimism. I only know a few couples that remained together for longer than a few months after high school graduation, and all of them got pregnant, and decided to get married as a result. I know another guy who got married, and then divorced her less than a year later. I know another guy who got a girl pregnant and disappeared on her, and hasn't heard from her since (and regrets it now that he's older). I myself have had so many relationships with women, of varying degrees, that I don't even really trust in my feelings of "love" anymore. And we are all in our early, early twenties.

That doesn't mean you aren't in love. Indeed, you ARE in love, as it satisfies your current definition. But I wouldn't make any bets on it lasting too long out of high school. Once you get out of the protective bubble of parents and teachers your values and standards start to change. A lot.

<blog>I'm a completely different person now compared to what I used to be. Back then I was a progressive Christian libertarian who felt God coursing through my life, who wanted to a nice girl to fall into my lap that I could marry exclusively and have 2.5 children and work for some big corporation and make a lot of money while writing novels published by major corporations on the side. Then around 19 I turned into an socialist deist who wanted to become voluntarily homeless and live off of carrion of the land. Thoreau was my hero, and I wanted to follow in his footsteps. Now I've become an anarchic capitalist agnostic who's ready and willing to build my own companies that generate revenue that will support myself so I don't have to work for anyone else again, and I'm not afraid to cater to the masses, or "sell out", to do it. I just refuse to work at helping someone else above me get rich. I'd rather help myself (and others) do it. I'll find a way to become immortal somehow, the only thing that's remained a constant in my life. I think I can use my game crafting experience to do it, not writing, and not running away to hide in a forest. </blog>
