Negativity of the “teenage dream”

Teenagers of today have a way of creating problems out of situations, of which I’m guilty of the offence. Within the ages of 13-21, we start creating invisible walls without knowing. At the end we think our life is a conundrum.

I was in my room one day, reading a blog and all I could do was to shake my head for
the blogger; I wondered if she ever thought of the consequences of her actions, or asked herself what she’d gain from posting the article. I couldn’t blame her so much because I would have done the same thing, but not to the extent of making it a public article; from what I read, I think her parents don’t really encourage her on her “chosen” field of study or something of that sort. The next thing she did was to go on her blog to vent her anger; cursing the day she was born to the family and all that.

It’s not only about venting family anger to the public. My timeline is the height, on there, you see different characters; the one that’d make you stay up all night, the ones that’d make you log out, the ones that’d make you pity them and their family. Anyways, there was this day I went online to do “amebo” and look for trouble; I saw this chick really subbing her boyfriend without mercy, I really pitied the fellow. He didn’t say anything, which is the most mature thing to do in that situation, people that knew them had to intervene and shut the girl up. I guess she was ashamed and didn’t tweet anything for a while; the next time she decided to tweet, she was subbing the same boyfriend she had referred to as bastard, this time she said “you are the best thing that ever happened to me”. *such a “weist”*

There’s also this thing on social networks that pisses me of, I still don’t get why you’d narrate everything going on in your house to us, do we look like we care in anyway? If you really want the world to know what’s happening to you, when you’re taking a dump and all that trash; buy a camcorder and record everything, uploading things on youtube is very free. And if you are not satisfied, you can go to a TV station pay for airtime to air your life. Their enough people making money from it -_-.   

I know some people are like “don’t you tweet stuff that happen to you?” well I do, but to a very reasonable extent, plus the incident has to be fascinating or maybe I’m trying to relate to someone else’s situation.

Another situation I can refer to; those days when facebook used to be fun, one chick posted this picture, guys were really commenting, the next thing we saw was a comment from her dad, I’m sure that day didn’t go well for her. “The Height” I had/have friends that have two facebook accounts, one for family and the other for friends.

It’s mostly girls that fall victim of this things, when you watch reality shows and base your life on what you see. You forget who you are and start acting like the people you watch. That’s when all these “small small” girls will start saying they are going through a “phase” or “teenage life crisis”. *mshew, instead of you to read your books*

It happened to me one day, after watching a certain reality tv show. I went to pester my dad for a car, I was barely 16 at the time, he ignored me. Then the next thing I did was to start shouting around the house and telling my parents how paranoid they were, and how they were shielding me from my purpose in life, that day didn’t end well for me mehn. L

:& the situation that irritates me the most *Le Worst of all* these days it is very possible for you to tell when a girl is going through a break up or hard time with their boyfriends. That’s when they “famz” God in their tweets or pm’s, you’s see stuff like “I’m Gods own”, “married to Jesus”, “the shoulder of the Lord is where I find comfort” e.t.c. some of them turn that day to a mini father’s day by writing things like “My dad’s the only man that can never hurt me”.

We end up living life as a mirage when we are young, and when we get older we start regretting our actions. Even at the end of a day, you reflect on how you spent your day and see what you gained.

Life is too short for all the problems we create from it. I go by the saying “it’s time you did the things that make you happy” when you have several options, just go for what is best for you and create the best out of it.
