the teener life

When you step in your 'senior teenage year' you will get tired of hating the world and bitching whenever your parents order you to do something that is against your will. I mean, come on, you are almost done in post-secondary school. It is about time to think of job opportunities, corporate clothes, and a brighter tomorrow. You are about to become independent, standing in your own feet. Optimism is pumping in your veins. You know the cliche.

Nevertheless, I am afraid that there exists a minority who feel that cynicism paid them a late visit. The late bloomers are starting to feel that they are losing control over their lives, something that they did not experience during their early teens. Anything that does not go along their way makes them feel helpless, and sometimes leads them to the state of denial. You usually hear them talking how life is starting to get really blurry when it is supposed to be bright and secure (because of post-secondary education). What is most interesting is how parents get involve in this rather abnormal appearance of hatred and grudge in the life of an early 20's person.

If you think about it, hating your parents is not cool especially if you are in your 20's. As a reasonable son/daughter, you are supposed to be calm and collected, thinking that you have to be more patient because you are getting older, and so does your parents. You have to understand that sometimes, the folks think in a very twisted manner, and as a person with a wider view of the world (or someone that understands more), you just have to deal with what they are saying. After all, it would not take a while before you settle down and finally leave their place, right?

There are things around us that do annoy us, to the point that we feel numb and apathetic because of too much angst. You might want to complain about how your parents are exposing your inner bitch, by setting up a curfew and other restrictions that usually apply to a teenager. While those who experienced this situation got it over with, let us just hope for the best for those people who had it in a later point of time, that brewing the negative feelings would not affect the rest of their adult life.
