Arrogance of Youth

There is a time when everyone felt that they were invincible. A time when they felt that they could do just about anything and nothing can stop them.

Youth is a time when one felt such an awakening deep inside him. Full of life, with fire pumping into the veins. It is a time when He is neither a boy nor a man, and She, no more a girl than she is a woman.

Many consider Youth is a passage of time when a person journeys into adulthood...blah blah blah!

Seriously. No one really did think I'm gonna go all journalistic and actually write an artice about Youth?? I had enough documentaries running through my head everytime I had to write an article. But the thing is...this thought had been running through my mind for awhile. Things like:

• Teenagers are kids
• they are kids so why do people expect them to be a grown up
• teenagers are getting yelled at by parents for acting like a child
• teenagers are lectured for trying to be smart & act like a grown up
• yet, if you want to be treated like an adult, act like one
• TEENAGER
• expected to make the right choices supervised via parents
• watch porn, spot tattoos, smoke, drink, sex, fast cars, drugs, cuss & swear; illegally?
• Teenager arrested for breaking the law and tried as an adult when he reaches 18
• impregnated teenage girls by still-growing manhood
• National Service
• rebel without a cause???

I mean seriously!!!There are more from where that came from but I'm holding back lest I'll exhaust the whole web page...as though that's possible? I think adults blame kids for their own mistakes. It's convenient that way. And Teens, they are right ALL the time...really!

As I look through my old picture of my class, I wondered if I ever acted that way when I was a teenager. I may be wrong in alot of things but I'm also right in many ways. Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought to smile the way I did in the picture...
