Our generation is so obssed with the idea of perfection
Society has consumed us with the thought of how we are meant to be
At first it was skinny
Now its thick
What's next?
We are influenced by terms that are not even real words
Such as
Thot
Swag
Icy
We look up to celebrities who are addicted to fame,drugs & money
They taught us quotes such as "YOLO" & "Turn down for what"
Lyrics have become angrier, raunchier, & discriminating
Is this really role model criteria?
All I see in high school is a bunch of people who hate each other pretending to be friends
Its no longer a place to learn
Instead its all about
Passing
Failing
Appearances
And who you surround yourself with
High school is hell
A girl cries people laugh
She though she could trust him
Now the whole school has seen her naked
A guy let's a girl know how beautiful she is to him
Screenshots
Tweets
100 favorites
All because they sounded "thirsty"
People aren't even dating anymore
You only find "things" & "hookups" & "friends with benifits"
We met on twitter by "sliding into DM's"
Which leads to talking
Catching feelings
Sleeping together
And ending as strangers
This generation has lost the meaning of romance we toss around "I love you's" like their "hellos" we give our bodies to people who don't care and we are judged about the amount of people we have let in our generation relies on "alcohol", " drugs" & "parties"
We drink to get drunk
Drunk texts
Drunk hookups
Drunk driving
Drunk decisions
Drugs are easy to find
When stressed
When happy
When lonely
When bored
Parties are no longer about celebrations
Its for
Beer pong
Shots
Smoking
Sex
Our generation tried to grow up to fast
People of this generation do not talk
Only exchange links
We are masked by computer & phone screens
Confrontation has turned into
140 characters
Text
Status
And if were lucky a phone call
Doorbells are not rung
Instead a "here" text is sent
Rather than being ignored physically
It is just now "read" text
Yes it hurts just the same
Because getting no message is also getting a message
Technology has ruined our adventuring
We do not go out in the rain because our iphones will get ruined
We do not camp because service is not available
We do not venture places beyond outlets
Too many adolescents have addictions to superficial things
Ipads, Iphones, tablets have substituted outdoor activities for apps you can download freely
Parents complian all the time about this messed up generation
About how we are wasted youth
But let's not forget
They raised us - Zoe Tempesta & Lorena Stephenson
