[hometext] => Teenagers go through worse experiences than some adults. It's not fair to be a teen and be told
[bodytext] => You don’t know me, but since I am only sixteen, you believe I have gone through very little throughout my short life. I am not part of that "age stereotype". The experiences in my life have been heart-wrenching, life altering, and made me reconsider the point of life. Because, well, let’s face it, dealing with a suicide really changes one’s view on life. After watching a friend kill herself, you don’t really see a reason to continue on. Loving a man, not a boy, for over ten years, that’s pretty significant. And when my fourth year anniversary is coming up in less than a month, It makes me think how that’s longer than most marriages. Oh, and let’s not forget the attack that left more than physical scars. Do you know what it’s like to see yourself beaten and bloody? I do. Adults: Come to me after being beaten, truly heart-broken, watching a friend kill herself, and being utterly alone in a room with over 20 people, And tell me how insignificant your life is. I’m sick and tired of stupid “adults” telling me High School isn’t that important And that Teenagers are overdramatic and emotional Or that Teens have yet to experience real life. Do you see now? We all go through hard times and age has NOTHING to do with it. Yes, I am sixteen. That’s sixteen years of pain, love, hate, joy, deep feeling, and bad times.
