Ok, so I’m 13. And if you’re a kid, you’re probably thinking something like “Cool, someone I can relate to.” But if you’re an adult, you’re probably thinking “Ok, this is so going to be elementary. This kid is going to talk about gossip, video games, texting, shopping, and guys.” Hey, that hurts. So what I’m a young teenage girl? Does that mean I don’t have a brain? You adults sure seem to treat us like that.
That’s what I’m here to clear up. This blog has changed a lot from me and my friends goofing off, to me telling you about myself (which no one really read because I kinda have a boring life). So now I decided I’m going to talk about what’s really important to me. I don’t care if people aren’t going to be reading this. I just want to put it out there on the internet. How I see everything. And I’m 13.
Man, I’m really over using that “I’m 13″ thing. But I want y’all to get it in your heads. I’m a 13 year old philosopher. I love to think like this. I used to just write all this down on my phone. But that got boring! No one would ever see it! And this I want people to see.
Ok, so I guess I’ll start with something that bugs me. A LOT.
Adults seem to walk around thinking they’re better than kids. And sometimes they are. You guys are done being kids. You did all that childish stuff. And you know how we think. Most of the time. Now I don’t know if it’s just me, but that can get old real fast. I understand you guys probably know more than we do. But only in certain subjects. Like my dad knows more about computers than me, but I know more about snails (LONG story, let’s just say I was addicted to studying and researching snails) than he does. Yet he goes around like he’s better than me because he’s smarter (I love you daddy, I really do. So don’t kill me. I’m just saying what I feel)!
And just because my mom is older she thinks she can tell me to do what ever. Ok, so yea. I need to obey her. And yea. She pays for everything and I live under her roof. But she just acts like “Hey, I’m older, so I must be smarter and I must be able to tell her what to do and she has to do it without questioning me”. But sometimes I just want to know why. Why can’t I go over to my friend’s house? Why can’t I play on the computer? Why do I have to clean my room when no one is going to come over any ways? Ok that last one was stupid. But can’t you just answer some of those? Can’t I know WHY?
Ok, so that sounds pretty bratty? Right? And I’m just a kid who doesn’t know what I’m talking about, right? Wrong. Listen. I have rights. It says so in the Constitution! So don’t I have the right to know why I have to do something? Plus it’d teach me. So later in life I will think back and go “Oh, that’s why! She wanted me to clean my room so everything doesn’t pile up and I don’t end up living in a pigsty! And I don’t end up as a hoarder! And so mold and bacteria and mildew don’t form!” So come on adults! Just tell us one reason why!
Also, you guys seem to think we’re stupid. Like we don’t know what we’re talking about. Yet do you even give us a chance to explain ourselves?! No! You just say “No buts!” or just inturrupt us! But if we try doing that to you we get called disrespectful and rude. Where’s the fairness in that? Why can’t you let us explain ourselves like you do to us?
And last one (for today). APs. Assistant Principles. Really. I mean it. You guys are so rude to us! And you never even think about how we feel! You look down appon us and treat every student like we’re all doing drugs or beating each other up! I’m a total goody-two-shoes. I never break the rules. Getting in trouble scares me. I have a total fear of it! (I think it’s one of these: Mastigophobia is the fear of punishment.
Rhabdophobia is the fear of being beaten or criticized) But the APs never smile at me. They never lighten up. They always glare. Frown. Scold for nothing at all (seriously they say things such as “Don’t get into trouble! Stop misbehaving!”). And they do it to EVERYONE. Just because some of the kids at school misbehave doesn’t mean all of us do.
I just looked up the definition of misbehave (just to make sure I’m spelling it correctly) and this is what it says: (of a person, esp. a child) Fail to conduct oneself in a way that is acceptable to others; behave badly. Seriously! “esp. of a child”! Obviously that was writen by one of you annoying adults.
Now this only goes to some people out there. There is one nice AP at my school. And my parents aren’t all that bad (unless they are and they just brain wash me…). And a lot of you adults do recignize children/teenagers’ brains. But there’s still way too many who don’t. And this was meant to be a mind-blower for y’all. Cause I’m sure you just freaked out or something that I wrote this. So reread this those of you who are like that. Even if you don’t think you are. Reread it and really think about how you treat children. Do you look down appon us?
Feel free to comment! I want to know what you think of this post! Was it good? Or do you hate me now? Even if you do, I’m sure you’ll still read more of my post. That’s how life works.
