Breaking the stereotype

So I was reading someone else’s bog and they were wondering why teenagers are always perceived as bad? Or trouble makers? I made a long rant about stereotypes and I could have made a longer one but I stopped because I did not want to fill up to much on her bog. So I have sort of made this list to prove (as if it need proof) that those stereotypes are wrong.

Teens are All Having Sex & Getting Pregnant
-umm no that some teen are having sex… (No idea why) but not every one. With all that we have had drilled into us lots of teens are to afraid to even get merely close to doing that because teachers and guardians have been drilling in our minds since grade six that we could die of freaken aids or something.

Teens are all Violent and Dangerous
- Umm I start to wonder were the crap this came from….paranoid people. I am not even going to touch this one. it will take up way to much space

Teens are Disrespectful of Adults
-not true most of us are very respectful to adults. And what I have found well at least with me is that most of the time when we are disrespectful to adults is when the adults are disrespectful to us first. When they talk down to us and treat us like we know nothing and judge us or act like we are up to no good before they even know us. So yes. Moving on

Teens Don't Care About the Future
- Ha ha ha ha ha were the heck did this come from... it is myth that we care about nothing but fun but how many of us teens have a job…are making a difference, volunterring. I know I volunteer all the time. And every one I hang out with especially this year I have heard talking bout the future and what they are planning on doing. If anything we are worrying to much about the future.

Teens are all High
-high on life, god, friendship, family. Nothing else for me thank you very much



Yes well those are some of stereo types. Hope you enjoyed my little rant.

yet another song

so i was wanting to update but i had no idea what i was going to update this blog with so i decided to go look through songs that i like and post some song lyrics again. well i found a song and i planning on posting it but i realized that this song that i am going to post is well rather depressing then a thought came to me... why do we like listening to depressing songs.. is there a part of us that actually likes the feeling of being depressed or emo. or do we listen to them because we when we hear the lyrics there is a part of us that makes us feel like we can relate to what the singer/band is saying. or maybe it is just fun to listen to when you are acctually feeling like how the singer/ band describes.

i donno any way yes that is my only deep thought in this post..if you can even call that thought deep more random then anything. here is the song

Child of the wilderness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your way in darkness
Who will be there for you
Comfort and care for you
Learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one companion
Never dreamed out in the world
There are arms to hold you
You’ve always known your heart was on its ownS
o laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness
Learn to Be lonely
Learn how to love life that is lived alone
Learn to be lonelyLife can be lived life can be loved alone


ya sorry made anyone feel emo or depressed by thoes lyrics but i am odd and i actually like that song.

well hope that your all having a wonderful day
