Though there are many articles on teenagers and millions of explanations as to why they are always on fight mode and sulky. I have come across a lot of them. I feel they tend to miss something. I am a teenager myself and an introverted one. I usually never show my emotions to anyone. I always keep a balance, but after entering the teenage stage my emotions started getting the better of me . Even small things said by people affect me deeply. There are times, I get angry with my mom who is very considerate and understands me the best. See that’s what happens to you when you are a teen. We don’t know what we are doing.
Nowadays I have a lot of people asking me what major I am going to take after completing twelfth grade. I don’t have an answer . It is not like I don’t care about my future. I am very much worried and confused. I am conflicted whether to pursue a career based on my artistic side or the diligent and logical business route. Sometimes I feel that the world is conspiring against me and people around me are being nosy and are trying to pry into my life. Do I have to explain why I got pimples and why keep my hair short to everybody. Why do I have to justify my actions to the whole world.
I am considered to be a very disciplined kid. I am a stickler to rules, despite all this I too have picked up unnecessary fights and have been through a lot of drama even though I didn’t want to. I have seen my friends do foolish things in spite of knowing the consequences. Maybe it is because we are in a stage where we are neither kids nor adults and stuck in between. Being a teenager in the 21st century is quite challenging .I am not saying that this unruly behavior is justified.
We are in a confused state so we tend to get angry and throw fits . Actually we don’t mean any of it and do regret it later (based on personal experience).Well I call this teen phase as going through a tough phase. Though we might look happy and tend to fool around with friends , inside we are emotionally weak and lose control over our emotions and unknowingly hurt the people we love. Though we put up a hard front and like to go by I know everything and I don’t care attitude, from inside we are as fragile as glass, even a small comment can shatter us. It is a tough phase for us and our parents but we will get through it soon .The only solace is that I am not alone in this misery and I share it with millions. On behalf of all us hellions bye:)
