Teenagers have a bad reputation. We are assumed to be trouble makers. Disturbed kids. Rebellious, cruel, mean and unloving. Yes, this is true for many teens accross the world. But this is now the stereotype we are being given. And this kind of upsets me. So, i was thinking about it, and i wrote this poem. Its not meant to offend anyone.

We Aren’t All Like This

Teens are disturbed
that’s what they say
But they don’t realize
We aren’t all this way

Not all young people
Carry a gun
Get in fights
Smoke for fun

Not all youth
Curse and swear
Wear clothes that show
Their underwear

Not all teenagers
Curse and scream
Are mad at the world
Are hurtful and mean

Not all the underage
Get high and sleep around
Make stupid choices
Let STD’s abound

Not all kids
Hate their life
Think they’re the victim
Carry a knife

I hold my head high
With my uncut wrists
And hope people know
That not all teens are like this

I agree. A lot of times i write poems about feeling lost and stuff, though i dont actually feel like that. And people tend to assume that the feelings in the poem are the feelings of the poet.
