Do you love me?

All teenagers want to find that special person, a person they can share their love with. They want someone that they can call theirs.We've all had crushes, but sometimes we're not really sure if they're the right crushes. If you're a person like me who has not yet found that special someone it might be a little harder. I know I'm not an expert, but I feel like I can help. Sometimes I feel like i'm going to grow up alone. I might have had a chance to have had a boyfriend, but maybe I didn't take it. Its not my fault,but sometimes I don't even know what to do around boys. I start freaking out and when the first “hello” is exchanged I panic. Maybe that’s where it all goes wrong. While i'm standing there and he is staring into my blank eyes my mind goes blank. I think later of all the clever things could have said . Noting, nothing happens, and I just walk away,losing something that could have been my big break, the chance to have someone I can call my soulmate.

I always think about the reasons they might not have liked me.The first thing that comes to mind is my appearance. This might be the same for some of you. I'm not sure if it's this weird thing we girls have, but it makes it even harder to look for a boyfriend. Now I know what you're thinking.Its not all about looks, it's also about you personality. Am I too weird to find a boyfriend? Someone who will be able to understand me? Whenever i'm out with my friends I can't really act like myself. They tell me I’m too “immature.” Is that...my problem or should I take their advice.Maybe if i take their advice it will make it easier. I'm not really sure but hopefully my KNIGHT IN  SHINING ARMOR comes one day.

Who was your first crush?
                 or
What would you try to change about yourself to get the guy/girl of your drea

What is a true friend

Most people have best friends that they would do anything for. They are the people that are always by your side. They always know the right things to say─the things that make you remember why you became their friend in the first place.My best friend’s name is Arianna. I would have never thought that I would have a best friend like her. We are exactly alike and some find that quite strange. We met about four years ago and now we never separated. We do almost everything together. I think if I'd never met her something wouldn't be right about my life. I maybe would have made other friends but I don’t think we would have the same bond Arianna and I have. Sometimes it’s just so weird when you think about times you had with someone important to you─the times that keep them alive in your heart.

What if your  best friend didn't know who you were?

What would you do?

I would go crazy. I would remember all the moments I had with her but she would just
forget them.I wouldn't know what to do;this would be the end of me. No one would be able to fill that void─ the longing for someone that understands me more than I do myself. This would haunt me; I wouldn't let any of those memories leave me .Only dreaming and wishing that one day she will remember that she is my best friend and that there are no better friends then the two of us─ the two partners in crime.

Why is life so tough?

When I think of life I always end up thinking about all the bad times I've experienced . I think most teenagers might have the same problem. Whenever we think about our lives,the times that stay in our heads are the bad times−those annoying times where you could have done something right but didn’t.It's Too late to change something that could change your life forever, make it better in the blink of an eye. If we could only go back to that moment in time to kiss that boy or hold that door or even throw that trash away our life would be different. If I  could go back in time and change something that I think  would change my life ,it would be the day I would be a better me . I would go back to 2003, first grade. I started first grade like a menace, the person every kid would stay away from. If I had been a better person life wouldn't be as hard as it was for me when I was in elementary school. People wouldn't have been afraid of me and they would find me quite awesome. It would get a chance at something I have wanted my whole life−the chance to have friends that would stick by your side through thick or thin. There also very good moments that stay in our heads. The moments where you can't stop laughing or just can't stop smiling. Those are the moments that we should be thinking about all the good times of our  lives−the times that even make others happy.

What would you have done if you had the chance to change something you wish you  had done differently? Something you think that would improve you as a person,and change who you are today and make you a better you.

What would you do?

   

What is age?

    What is age? Age is nothing but a number . A number that means nothing to anyone but  adults. We live in a world where adults don't want teenagers to act like “children” but like adults. When we act like children we get punished for not being mature enough. When we begin to act like adults,  so- called “ grown Ups” think we’re growing up too fast. Being a “ child” in this century sucks! Most of us don't want to act like adults. And so we become victims of the world. Why is life so hard for us? Well i'm not really sure, but most teenagers think it’s due to peer-pressure and an abundance of responsibility put on us. We live the life adults wouldn't even dream of having, the life where everything you do is wrong and you can never get it right.

Age is one of those topics that you can understand more when you are younger, as you  face adults criticizing you about your age all the time. This topic is something I deal with on a day- to -day basis. Being 15  in a world where everyone wants you to be 20  is really hard. This world is so confusing that  us “kids” don't  know what to do but retaliate. By Doing things like drugs and drinking. This is why I think the “Adults” should give people our age more of a choice about what we want to do and be. They might think we’re making the wrong decision but not giving us the chance to make the decision is the wrong decision.The chance to take a chance at life, things we want to do to please ourselves and not others. 

 

Why can't we be our own people? If teenagers were their own people things in this world would be so much different. We would know how to control things, things adults can't even take control of. We could  create a new nation where everyone would be equal. There wouldn't be labels  separating us humans. The right to vote, drink, being allowed in a club can set many things apart. This important and social related problems make people feel very different in not all the time good ways. Although  we teenagers might not be ready for bills and children, we should have the right to speak freely and express ourselves.
