A glimpse into a teen's mind/world Revise #2

There are many issues teenage girls and guys face these days that are just ridiculous. The general issues are sex, drugs, peer pressure, gangs, and...etc. The main topic that I think teenage girls and guys face in this generation is that many people do not talk about problems at home.

Many girls do not like to talk about their problems at home because it's too personal. Now days girls are having a hard time enjoying the teenage life because of family problems. Some girls do not have a father at home and there mom is a single parent. Instead of them just living a normal teen life they have to take upon big responsibilities that an adult is supposed to handle. They have to watch, feed, protect, and pamper their younger siblings. That is a lot of hard work for a teenager. On top of that they have to do their homework, cook, clean, take care of themselves, and get up early the next day to go to school fully awake. Sometimes the problem is even worse then just nurturing their siblings. Girls are raped and abused at home and not only by their father, but brace yourself for this, also by their mother. A mother may be so overdosed with drugs that she may not be in her right mind. She is so messed up in the mind that she may make her daughter exploit herself just so she could get money or more drugs. Sometimes a girl's teenage life is not a merry-go-round. It's more like a bumpy road that leads up to a fork point. Does she know which way to go? Maybe not, because at home she wasn't raised to do the right thing or maybe she worked mostly all of her life and she is too confused to tell which way to go. So what most girls do is just sit in the middle of the road waiting for someone to come along the same road and pull them by their hand and show them the way. How do i know? I am the girl who lives with a single mother who had to help around the house. I wasn't raped or abused, but deep down inside my life got to a point where I had to ask myself, which way is the right way?

The same scenario goes for the teenage guys to. Most guys have it worst then girls. Some guys do not have a mother or father at home, so they live their life on the streets. The guys who do have a mother may eagerly want a father. They didn't have anyone at home to play ball with them, or a man around the house who taught them how not to hit women. I mean they probably saw their mom get abused, so they take the hint of thinking that maybe a women is suppose to be treated that way. Many guys run away from home, join gangs or attempt suicide because they do not find a use in life. Guys handle their problems differently then women. They do not cry as much as girls neither do they talk to anyone about their problems. They feel that home is cursed with bad vibes and they don't have any way of escaping the life they are living. They just throw away a good life.


Teenage girls and guys are completely different, but with similar problems. Adults do not have a clue what goes on through a teenager's mind. They say they do because they were once young like us, but remember this generation has unlimited thoughts of unbelievable things that are hard to explain. That's why I named my blog "A glimpse into a teen's mind/world". A glimpse is maybe all everyone that's not a teenager will get because no one will fully know what goes on through the minds of us teens.
