Every little girl sees teenagers in all of the movies, and she dreams of being able to have that freedom and fun, but what she soon realizes is that it isn't like the movies, it's completely different and unfortunately for her it's always too late when that realization occurs.
Once you become a teenager, it all goes downhill from there.
You are constantly put under the pressure of school, self-image, fake friends, trying to constantly be good enough for your parents. responsibilities such as jobs, chores, learning to drive, for some that also comes with taking care of younger siblings. All of this and more while your parents are telling you that you should do better, that you should try harder, but you have been trying, and working, with all you can give, all while trying to just survive.
You feel as though no one understands you, like you are alone.
You are constantly trying to please others and become everything you're not all just to make others happy.
And people wonder why teenagers are so "mad" it is because we're drained. It's gotten to the point of just giving up and being done.
