To be young and frivolous in this new age of technology and people is easier said than done. It’s not easy to be ambitious to become something when it feels like so many obstacles are holding you back from it. Us teenagers, we appear to be unsure, unprepared, naïve, and confused of ourselves as we get older, indecisive of what we want to achieve in life. For me I fit in with the learning stage of my peers needing to find my calling in life by learning how to become a better person in general. But it’s not as easy as it’s told to us on daily basis, because times are different from our parent’s generations like school, people, media, .etc. What’s so unique about my generation is that we are so diverse and have so much character. We are more open in our thoughts and can achieve much more than our elders could’ve ever even imagined. Like for instance the subject of bullying has been going on for years affecting many schools nationwide. But I feel it’s finally being openly spoken about instead of being just pushed aside as pettiness. But this happened in our generation to make this change and I believe we don’t realize how much we matter in our community or anywhere to be exact. Another reason is I feel adults look at the negatives of my generation more than the positives. For example how they say we watch too much television or we aren’t as smart as other countries of the world. They believe that pushes us to strive harder to be smarter than them, but honestly it makes us feel humiliated and embarrassed and ashamed. Yes, it is true that there are other countries that are more tedious in their learning than we are but its not fair to us to be always considered less than another. I feel parents should relate with us more than they think they do. Times are hard and they are only getting harder so we need encouragement from them
