Inside the teenage mind

Inside the teenage mind

A Poem by Kat

You don't know us
You don't know the wars we fight
You don't know the enemies we make
You don't know our lives
So stop acting like you do
Cause you don't
What you know about our lives is what we tell you
We tell you lies so you'll back up off us
We tell you we're at our friends house studying
But really
We're out getting high or drunk and doing things we know we shouldn't
We tell you that we're passing all our classes and we're doing our assignments
But actually
Our grades are D's and F's and we're slacking off cause we don't care enough to try
You ask us how our classes were today and we make up a story
Cause all we were doing was was skipping classes and running around the halls and vaping cause we don't give a s**t
You want to know how are day went so when we get home you ask us
"How did your day go?"
and i say
"it was fine"
but really my day was s**t
my best friend did s**t behind my back
my crush lead me on
my friend(s) are disappointed in me cause i made a bad decision
You want to know what's really going on in my life?
You want me to tell you the truth about my day?
Fine
Start by asking me
"Do you want to talk? Are you doing okay today?"
And we'll see how it goes from there
Cause who knows if i'll care enough to tell you the truth today

Being a teenager is tough. We have to deal with struggle everyday and no one ever understands and adults/parents always say that they understand but they really don't the only thing they understand is what's going on under they're roof

I completely agree, I mean I am two months from being 18 and graduating from high school and you literally explained my day-to-day life. Being a teenager is harder than adults think and it's time they start empathizing about our lives.

No but we have the same mind
Woah that's long lol, but, adults and parents went through all that, they struggled, they were once a teenage, they ask how your day went because they care, they want to know, or at least most of them, but parents cares, and with all that you're dealing with, just go with the flow and do the right thing, just try, I cannot say no more.
