Lately, I have noticed(im in high school btw) that kids and teens have been getting a bad reputation lately. Many adults, I know this from experience so dont say "Oh your just a retarded kid" or whatever..., anyway, many adults dont see us kids and teens as deep or smart or anything that could be involved in adult things.
It kind of bugs me. Like, they expect us to be perfect children, halos on our heads, never do anything bad. When in reality...you have s*x, drugs, etc in your schools. Yea...they have also said to me, in quote, sorta.... "Your not mature enough"
And also, the smart part, how adults think teens and kids cant think for themselves or something. My parents dont think I should be able to have any kind of a private life or anything. That totally makes me mad...like my whole life revolves around them or something. Its called a private life for a reason...its supposed to be private to that person.
So I guess what I am asking...is why DONT teens get more rights? Why arnt we seen as intelligent or we cant handle some things at such a young age??? If any teens out there want to agree that would be great! We are just as capable as them if not better at handeling things in our new world?
