My So Called Teenage Life Poem by brittney blais

My So Called Teenage Life

Rating: 5.0


Everyone around me is just like me.
A teenager, but i dont want to be a teenager.
someone once told me that these would be the best years of my life,
but they were wrong, cause these are the worst times of my life.
All the jocks and the preps,
all the emos and the goths.
why do teenagers think its cool to get drunk...when its just pathetic.
Why do they need to do drugs? thats just wrong no matter what age..
All this peer pressure is coming at me, like a car trying to run me over.
But Im still alive dodging the peer pressure and living my life according to me.
this aint nothing but my so called teenage life.

I'm reckoning your a leader not a follower and, given the strength of this poem, someone who has the ability to absorb the pressure. Get the doll out of the linen closet and glue her to the door of your school locker and scare the bejaysus out of the tribe.

I like your spirit Brittney...I never gave in to peer pressure and I don't think teenage years are that great either....I love my thirties....enjoy that life girl, you have a great talent to show us...nice work.

Brittney, be glad that you have a teenage life to complain about. I was in two institutions at my mother's request from the time I was 12 years old untilI was 18, and I had never done a single thing wrong, except be me. So I had no teenage life. I wasn't permitted to have or go to sleepovers, go to have a pizza, or go to a movie, or go anywhere I wished, because my mother had me sent away where she could forget I ever existed. Read some of my poems, a few that come to mind are I Am A Survivior, An Experiment In Cruelty, and Destruction of A Soul...these three poems tell of only some of the pain I was forced to go through, and then read my biography. If you think you have it bad as a teenager, believe me when I say there are those of us who have had, and are having it worse, because their parents have disowned them and sent them to institutions. And yes it still goes on today. Then read a few of my other poems. Each poem has a recurring theme in it, but the emotions and feelings are different in a lot of them. Thank you for sharing, dear. Hugs, Barbara

You describe the confusion and all too influencing peer pressure of the modern teenager, fantastically in this little poem Brittney! You keep being you girl and every little thing will be alright. I loved the sincerity and determination to be on the right track in your poem so much....you have a lot to give, looking forward to reading much more of you. Smiling at you, Tai,
