Adolescence

Children are often associated with leading naïve and innocent lives; and that is for the most part true. Adolescents are often associated with leading self-centered and rebellious lives; not without a large amount of their ignorance left. Reflecting on past and current events and thinking about the future and the “adult” solution to a problem is the situation that adolescents are faced with. People say that adolescence is by far the hardest part of life, and I would be lying to say that I disagree with that statement. We have the best and worst of both world. We are treated like kids and yet expected to act like adults; but not without reason. We are given what feels like an impossible expectation in order to fail; because if we fail now the consequences will probably not dictate the rest of our lives; but only cause a minor punishment that can be used as a tool for a learning experience. Adolescence is the time when your given a standard that is inevitably impossible to live up to so that by the time when living up to that standard is your only chance at success, you can do it. Adolescents are expected to bring those attributes of a child, naïve and innocent, to adult situations and fail. This is what adolescence is about, trying and failing until you find correct solution as has been determined by society. I know this might just sound like words from an ignorant teenager, but after much thought and reflection on my conclusion to certain situations and scenarios I have determined that this is where I am, and I am too still discovering the “adult” way to go about things.

I know this isnt amazingly poetic at the moment but its my thoughts and i'm planning on editing them and crafting it into a more poetic format. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

    I wish I could offer suggestions..but I dont see how it could honestly turn into a poem..this subject matter...I think it definetly needs lot of work on wording...so it doesn't come cross as so much of a lecture , something I should be learning in class etc.

    I am sorry to say that but I would lways be honest

    I do look forward to the finished product
