 Young people are seen as disgraceful and ruinous, but you cant just put us into that box of small-mindedness because some of us are getting through the day with our silver friends. we go through hell every day in school getting called gay and emo. were trying to fight for everyone but were just young people.

getting told on a daily basis that we will never be enough unless we give up our childish dreams. is it childish of me to not want anyone or thing to struggle, is it childish of me to want to stop cutting because I am so scared, is it childish that I want to look after my friends and make them stronger. 

I am no child okay,

I am a person who has ideas, a person who wants to love and be loved in return, I may be young but I am a person so do not doubt my fight or flight reactions because  I bet you if we had a fight over who is more open minded I would win. My mind is not full of stories and myths, it is full of dreams and power. I will not let you burn my flam out because you do not see what I am inside and only judge me on my age. 

being young does not tell you what I have been through so don't tell me I don't know what reality is  because I bet if you actually asked or knew what the hell I have seen and been done too me you would be in tears, never tell me I'm too young to get it because I have more in my head than many adults and I will not be silenced. 

I am a young person so don't be fooled when I outsmart you.
