Burning Truth #2

Okay so for this post.... Was hard to choose the theme. For quotes it was either this quote or another good one that I really like...but I chose this one because it's a little more understandable by most of the viewers.
So I'm gonna get right into what this means.
Teenagers are the most misunderstood people on earth.
That first line...oh god, so crazy and true!
What makes it true are the first and last words of that first sentence. Teenagers. Misunderstood.
Nobody understands us. And when I say nobody I mean NOBODY. Most of the time I don't even think we understand ourselves! There's just something about this age that we go through...some phase that we have to lose ourselves then find ourselves again. We're falling in love, we're getting our hearts broken and breaking others, we're trying to balance school lives and social lives, we're trying to balance busy schedules, and don't forget about dealing with crap from family and friends. Seriously. A teenager can only go through so much.
So, on top of being misunderstood add the fact that we're all treated like children.
We are treated like children...
To this day my parents still treat me like I'm 6 not 16. They take away my deserts, or send me to my room, or make me go to bed early, or...I don't know they give me all these little kid punishments....But also the teenage punishments as well. (For example: house arrest, taking away phones, ipods, facebook access...etc). But adults are so over protective of us! We have curfews and they're so insistent on knowing what were doing who were hanging out with, who we're talking to, who we're texting. We can't have our own space! They smother us! We want our Independence but when they cradle us the way they do we can't help but rely on them!
And then that leads to the last part of the quote.
...But expected to act like adults.
As I was saying before, how do they all expect us to act like adults when they treat us like children. They say they try to push us towards our Independence...but they keep us close causing us to rely on them! I don't understand how all that works out! Anyways...as adults we're supposed to be responsible...and we should have jobs we should be able to drive ourselves places, we should have enough judgement to know what is wrong and what is right...but still have enough time to make mistakes. It's hard though to act like an adult...we can't always grasp onto the concept that we're growing up. It takes time to sink in. So please stop pushing us into adulthood,older generations!..we'll make it there eventually, that I can promise.
So...parents...guardians...teachers...adults out there trying to deal with us teenagers...understand this:
You won't understand us. You can't understand us. We're misunderstood. Stop treating us like children because we're not! Stop pushing us to be adults as well! Becaus we're not that either. We're just teenagers. A misunderstood percentage of the poplulation.

Teenagers are the most misunderstood people on earth.

We are treated like children

but expected to act like adults.

The theme for this week:

Be a teenager.

Don't be a kid.

Don't be an adult.

Stay in between because that's were you belong. :)
