That's a common subject in adults' world. But what they often forget is that they were teenagers, too, even though a long time ago. It's just nice to see an grown up person who can still remember their young years and at least try to understand us, the crazy ones. We are all going through same stuff in this time. It is important that we stick together and share compassion.
Me? I mostly think about other people. It's become some kind of addiction. I really try hard to stand tall, keep my head high and confident crap like that, but mostly I'm insecure as fuck. I try to look my best and do my best, but mostly the result is the other way around. The more you try the worst it all ends up. So all I wanna do lately is think and act spontaneously and be myself. Because that is the most beautiful version of yourself you can be. Mindfuck, right?
Anyway, there are other stuff, too. Clothes, school, boys (duuh) and so on. Just girly stuff I guess. But we all (teenagers), despite of our gender, have things in common. Many people mostly misunderstand us and think there's something wrong with us, so this is kind of the source of the question: Why are we so afraid to stand up for ourselves? The answer lies in the question; how can we not when you're already judging us by how you think we look and that is your theory that has kind of already become an answer to your own question.
First of all; we are afraid to stand up for ourselves, since we live in such a judgmental society it hurts my head. It hurts some teenagers' head so much they make problems inside their heads that don't even exist. We overthink our every answer, we do stupid things when we're afraid and scared, we get nervous around crowded people since all we think about is how are we gonna impress everbody. That is why some kids to suicide attempts. Other from already dying inside, some for some attention, at least that. At least this kind of some pity.
Second of all; as I mentioned before, there are so many people we THINK we have to impress. We are under so much pressure and people often forget that. We are fragile, yet so stronger than we think we are.
But most of all, what we all want, is a chance. A chance to be ourselves without being judged. I think everyone wants and deserves that, not only teenagers. To live again, to start over. Everyone makes mistakes and I personally think that those who can't accept that have bigger problems than those who do realize their mistakes, but can't face the world. Of course it also depends on what mistake have you done, but teenage life isn't all about making mistakes and regretting things. It's also full of experiences that we will have in the back of our minds forever. People say that in those years you aren't thinking straight and right, yet they require from you to decide for yourself at this point what you wanna do in life or what you want to be become. Clearly, someone does not stand for their principles. I come across so many cases like this and it is truly unfair to those kids who have to take responsibility at such young age. People think that at age of 18 or in USA 21, you become fully grown man/woman, an adult, ready to take care of yourself and your (future) family. I mean, taking care of yourself isn't that hard, but getting thrown out of your own home can be pretty unpleasant if you don't have any experiences whatsoever. But that is life. I mean, I don't defend things like that, but you learn a lot from that. That kid's gonna learn a lot from that and is gonna know how to treat their kids right. Of course he/she has some bad sides, too; everyone does and these are going to effect their children, too and so on. But I believe that with each generation we become wiser in experience-kind of meaning. But then again when you see those little 12-year old wanna-be Biebers you get kinda worried for the future. But I, for myself, am willing to make a difference. Even if it is just going to change my life or my family's; I am doing it also for the world, cause we all need to change ourselves first to later see the difference in the world.

But what I really don't understand, is teenagers smoking. And as in teenagers I don't mean college students or free-minded over-eighteen people. I mean 13 years young girls. I guess it's all about attention, pride and reputation. Those teenagers have real issues, yet they think they're the smartest around here. Of course I am not either, but hey, at least I can show some respect, right? I just feel sorry for them as they keep defending and excusing their actions with their one and only motto: YOLO. Well, it is true that you only live once and that you only get one chance, one life, but you sure gonna live short and sweet one when you're in mid 60's (if they're gonna make it there) longing for one last clean breath if they continue like this. Trust me, I've seen on my own eyes how it is to die from lung cancer. And believe me, it is not a nice way to die. Not trying to scare the shit out of people, but it's just the way it is.
