The teenage years used to be

the age where we would have just been expected to get good grades and stay out of trouble, but now we're expected to keep our places in school and not get pregnant. When we go shopping, with perfectly clean money, we're looked down upon, just because of our youth. Not all of us are going to steal a fifty pound pair of shoes. Not all of us are going to verbally abuse an old person. Not all of us are going to get drunk in the park and kick pigeons. Some of us want to do well. Some of us actually care about our futures. But then some of us have been hurt, and we've been told we can't do well. We've been told we won't make it, that we should just stop trying. So some of us don't give a fuck. Some of us just lie in our beds and waste our youth years away. It's such a shame, because we could do and be so much more.
