I am a teenage girl.
The world I was brought to when I had hit the big "1-3" are supposed to be the best years of my life, right? Why am I fed this lie? Everywhere I turn, there is nothing but torture and conflict with no solution. I am expected to be a kid- do your chores, mind your authority- and yet, I have to be an adult- care for your younger siblings, finish this task द्वारा Friday. Why must I obey like a child without all of the benefits of a childhood, and why must I take my responsibilities like an adult without all of the freedom like an adult? Worse yet, as I am a teenage girl/woman/whatever society wants me to be, I am put into a far scarier world that even the bravest of men would quiver in fear if they set one foot into it. आप know what I'm talking about and if not, then आप are sorely ignorant. I am talking about...well, let me put it this way: when your loving mother puts a scarf around आप to protect आप from the winter cold, there will be men-no, trash waiting to take और than that scarf off of you, and I can bet it won't be because they want to make आप cold; when your younger siblings are still latching onto आप because you're the World's Best Big Sister, आप have to start worrying that आप won't have children latching on to आप so soon, calling आप World's Best Mom; when your protective father is holding on to you, there will be trash waiting to snatch आप from him, and your innocence from you- if, that is, the trash isn't your father, himself. To trash, I'm not even human (oh, the irony of that phrase!), let alone a child/adult, या a person who'd want control of her virginal rights and her body. This society is nothing but a grave disaster. For my family, I have to be the utmost beautiful virgin until I'm married; for the guys, I have to be the easy hot chick until my "true love" comes along, tag me as his property, and when he's done with me, knocked me up, या found someone with और experience, dump me-figuratively या literally in the nearest ditch, I don't know; for my friends, I have to be fun, exciting, supportive, या whatever they want या need, without the guarantee that they'll be what I want या need. And we drift into the "friend" factor, where there are problems of trust and communications. आप have फ्रेंड्स that praise आप when you're together, but go gabbing rumors about आप when your back is turned. आप have फ्रेंड्स that demand one thing after the other from you, yet ignore आप completely when आप beg for their help. आप have फ्रेंड्स that would help you, but only if आप do something in return, like some deal. And there are the true friends, those who'd प्यार आप through the flaws, या at least not blab them to others, help आप in a heartbeat because they know you'd do it for them even without their asking (or they simply just प्यार आप so much),those that deserve your trust. But hey, with humans being so unpredictable, wouldn't it be just easier to keep our trust to ourselves and not let others have it? This sad world that I live in, where I'm not safe, free, या happy. I'm told to be this and do that द्वारा everyone, even the media that was supposed to entertain me, not be entertained द्वारा my dillema and confusion, and none of this is what I want for me. I am supposed to enjoy the fear of possible sexual attacks, confusion of where I stand as an adolescent, the identity as subhuman because I'm female, and this world that says it loves me when clearly it wants me destroyed before I realize what I can या want to be?
I am a person with an identity to obtain, goals to reach, and a future that shouldn't be tarred द्वारा this society's stereotypical देखा गया of what future I should recieve.
I am a teenage girl, a person, so could आप please stop unnecessarily making my world a living hell?

txter32 This is really well written... I like it.

PoweredByBacon That was great if only my parents read it and understood.Anyway you should be an inspritional writer.The world needs some of those

r-pattz Well-written, but melodramatic, egocentric, and boring. And please, put your stuff into paragraphs next time. My eyes are going to fall off if you don't.

ivoryphills @P.B.B Thanks! @r.p. melodrama gets people's attention; can't be egocentric because I didn't complain about how crappy my life is, instead I chose to look at the bigger picture of society and include the category that gets hurt the most; if it's so boring to you, then please, I insist that you go back to watching Spongebob or whatever child's cartoon you enjoy or sleep in that innocent dream world of yours; no, I choose not to break this up into paragraphs because you have an eyesore. Getting a headache? Read a picture book, dear, it'll be easier for you. There, a rebuttal summarized so I don't have to waste anymore precious time proving you wrong.

r-pattz Well that was an interesting response. You're very touchy, aren't you? And immature, resorting to low blows when someone doesn't like something you write. Melodrama does get attention, but it also makes you come across as a whiney brat. The definition of egocentric is "having or regarding the self or the individual as the center of all things." (Definition courtesy of Dictionary.com.) You don't have to be talking about the crap in your life to be egocentric; you just have to focus only on yourself to be considered so. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this article was all about you, was it not? Ignoring bigger problems so you could dwell on the complexities of being a teenager? Although actually, looking at the article again, you did say your life was a living Hell, which sounds very whiney to me. I didn't suggest you break it into paragraphs for my sake, though that is how I said it. The reason I suggested that is because it will make you a better writer to break it into paragraphs. Really, why do you think all professional writers use paragraphs? There's a reason. Just ask around - it's hard for readers to stay focused on one huge, continuous mass of words. Paragraphs would make the reading smoother for your audience, make it a more enjoyable experience.
