I think ROM started another thread along this line..but..I wanted to start fresh.
And yeah, I know some of you are questioning why I'd make this thread and be such an obvious hypocrite since I am a teen. I don't have an answer to my blatant hypocrisy, so get on with my post! (or..don't).
My biggest source of annoyance towards teens is their ability to find something to complain about in EVERYTHING. They cannot accept that some things in the world, "just are" and they are one person and cannot change what they dislike so much. Instead of using their time to productively accept or move past what they don't like, they whine, and whine, and WHINE (I suppose..I'm doing that right now). It's one thing to have an opinion, it's another to sound like a complete idiot when you say it. I am getting this steadfast feeling that I'd be more intelligent after running into a brick wall than if I were to listen to another angsty rant on religion, or on boys, or girls, or George Bush.
Don't kids get it?! They're not different, they're not genius, and they're not original. They've just invented this astoundingly annoying way of getting their sheep-like opinion across. Their "new found" hate for George Bush and religion is something they soak up like a sponge because they're a bunch of mindless idealists (no, I'm not saying anyone anti-bush or religion is mindless). It makes me want to bang my head when I know someone who's got a D+ average is thumping his fist on the desk and grunting in indecipherable blatherings about how he thinks George Bush is a bad man because some other teenager with a higher IQ told him so.
And, big news for you teenagers, it's NOT the end of the world. Not EVERYTHING that happens in your 1/6,000,000,000 of a global life matters that much. I am so sick of teens moping around like their life is about to end because they are too stupid and thick to figure out that it's their responsibility to make their own happiness and success - not the parents, not the teachers, NOT the alcohol that they senselessly consume on a school night. We/they think everything affects them, when if they just accepted it, and didn't give such a ****, they'd realize that it really doesn't matter.
Par example: I love you SD, but I've got to say that your ramblings about how you hate religion are incredibly angsty. You'll find that I agree to an extent, but Christ, just give up the hate. It's not doing you any good, and us listening to it and pretending to get angry instead of just laughing is getting old. You have an opinion, we get that, but drop the hate act. Religion, if you look at it, is hardly a fraction of your life if you let it be that way. Yeah, thumpers are annoying, yeah the pope is a jerk, and YES the bible is a disgusting falsehood, but if you truly believe you're above that pettiness, then just move on. Life is too short to go on about something that you can't singlehandedly change. I love you to bits, you are an AMAZING friend, and I trust you a ton, but it actually makes me sad to see you so full of resentment to so many little and big things.
I guess I'm just a..tad annoyed. I just think some teenagers need to take a step back and say, "Whoa, I'm responsible for myself, life isn't that bad, and I just need to suck it up, and learn to accept...and pull my pants up."
I understand that kids feel like they have been wrong-done by life throwing them curveballs. Heck, I know I have, but I've never gone without really thinking. I think about the grand-scheme, I think about how fortunate I really am, and I think about how I can fix it, instead of resent it.
Don't worry. Be happy
