The following is something that I wrote in my Journal (yes guys can have journals) that I think adults need to hear. I am not trying to be disrespectful. I want adults to realize that this generation needs their friendship and love, and without their friendship this generation is lost.

“Why can’t adults stop faking like they don’t know what teens are going through? Time and again I hear adults say, “I was a teen once.” Then why can’t adults try to remember what it was like to be a teen and lovingly understand that we are messed up? I hear adults complain about teens using drugs, they act like teens are so much worse then them. Don’t adults sin? So what if you don’t do drugs, do you get drunk? Do you swear? Do you watch junk on the internet? Do you steal? Are you perfect? What gives you the right to look down on this generation for their sins? Maybe instead of looking down on this generation you could come beside us and helps us walk out of sin. Why can’t you love my generation? If you would only stop for a second and realize that behind the graffiti there is a heart searching for your love. Yet you adults simply reject us again and again. You yell at a teen for not wearing a helmet, but ignore the cuts on his arms. You ignore the very fact that without your love my generation will continue to kill itself. I have heard from teens the way you speak to us. Don’t you realize how much I love this generation? Do you not hear them crying? Do you not see the blood dripping? Do you not feel their hearts breaking? How long will you continue to be an adult and scorn this generation? Why do you want to add to their depression? Couldn’t you stop for a moment and be this generations friend?”
I understand that this post is probably controversial and some may see it as disrespectful. So please tell me what you think and comment. Don’t rub this post off, if you thought this is disrespectful, rude, or depressing, then this post was for you. What will you do with it?
