at 90 miles an hour
and crank up our stereo systems
all the way up to high power

We all don't drink and do drugs,
tattoo and pierce our skin
And spend all of our time puking
to try to remain thin

Not all of us are rude
just those few who tarnish our rep
Most of us are decent citizens
who keep our lives in step

We hate it when people say
"Young people these days...."
And Blah de Blah Blah Blah!
How stereotypical they are!

I can't stand it how they think we're braindead
with no goals, aspirations, or hopes
That we walk around each day,
thinking life's a joke

To all who misjudge young people
you better look out
For we are your future leaders,
so give us the benefit of the doubt

I like the last stanza, but as a teenager, I think the old people are right. The majority of us are a rather hopeless bunch thanks to uncaring parents and horrid education (american schools are nothing more than social gatherings, and their teachers mindless ilk.)

I'm 16, anyway. And I don't do any of those things. But I daresay the several hundred thousand who do make enough of a reputation for us. Rather than reprehend them for their over generalization, we'd be better off making sure we're not doing what they say we are, and stopping others from doing so as well. So there; this poem is written from a very pointed perception, and "young people these days" are horrible.

I'm no teenager but I accept anyone jus as they r. Honestly I can make more sense
from the teenagers than most (far from all) other ages. It's because I listen as once I was a teenager then raised three teenagers of my own alone. Now I have teenaged grandkids now.
I try 2 treat all the same but I can see why some run ammuck. Without pointing fingers
is how I can relate. I beleive all ages have some good but the whole world needs 2 throw away sterotypes.
It's good that you'll stand for what u believe in.
I admire you'll for doing that.
See when my grandkids were born I was more knowledge and a new chance to rite the wrongs or mistakes with my own.
I realized when my first grandchild was born that we all r fresh luv straite from heaven born into a corrupt world. The sterotypes etc. have been older than my time but I don't have to bye into it.
I've learned most things bout life the hard way so therefore I can relate.
The only thing that I'm 100% sure of is that I'm Jesus kid as we all r as being created by him.
peace, joy, luv, huggs,
emy
Happy holidays and this is a masterpeice no doubt.
The power of the written word is awesome
as is this poem.

I enjoyed reading your poem immensely. In a perfect world no one would judge us, stereotype us, categorize us but since this isn't a perfect world we have to let alot of things just roll off, let them go. As long as you know who you are and what you are about thats all that really matters.

I liked the points you made in this poem. Great job.
