Mindless chatter, meaningless gossip,
Divided groups, tangled relationships.
Locking of horns, incessant teasing,
Screams of rage, no appeasing.
Frustrations high, grades slide low,
Cramming hard, still too slow.
Shoutings from parents, scolding from teachers,
Threat of failing, stories of repeaters.
Syllabus an ocean, time constrained,
Mugged up knowledge, creativity restrained.
Pressure of peers, distractions,
Societal influence, romantic attractions.
Teenage years, the 'best of times',
Fun-filled, free, doth sublime.
'Is it still?', questions this generation,
While elders indulge in mere placation.
