Remember how you thought high school would be great if you didn’t have any classes or exams and just had study halls all day? That’s like work, except you get paid and you don’t have to go to the library to use the computer. You know I think I actually have less work to do at work than I did in HS. Definitely less than college.<\/p>\n
HS was awful. You spend all day in classes and when you finally get home after chorus\/band\/sports, you have hours of homework to do. Then there’s worrying about exams, boys\/girls, drama, acne, being skinny, SATs, college… Doesn’t anyone remember how much being a teenager sucked?<\/p>\n
Brandy<\/a> wrote a post the other day, about how in certain areas, malls don’t let teenagers in on Friday and Saturday nights without an adult. Article here<\/a>.<\/p>\n What the hell are the kids supposed to do??? When I was a teenager, the mall was the only place we could go. Why do they think teens hang out there? Would they rather the teens go hang out at a park around little kids? Maybe in front of the movie theater? They don’t have the means to make enough money to go into the city to see a show or have their own place to hang out at. They’re stuck.<\/p>\n Discrimination against teenagers is a lot worse than people realize. No one cares about them because all they see are the bad ones. What about the straight A students, the ones feeding the homeless, the ones working a part time job to help out their family? There are many teenagers out there that are better citizens than adults. Just because a few teenagers are annoying and go to the mall and never spend any money, we punish the rest? I hope they all join gangs and go on crime sprees.<\/p>\n And don’t think this won’t effect the rest of us. “Excuse me little girl, you need an adult with you to shop.” “I’m 23 you ass!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Remember how you thought high school would be great if you didn’t have any classes or exams and just had study halls all day?
