To the parents of every teen
By Nail Bunny
What the fuck do you think you know about us
that you think you can judge us so
you say you were once one of us
that was many years ago
You're not a teenager anymore
you don't know what our lives have in store
well, neither do we, but that's ok by me
we know what to do,
you don't have a clue
times have changed
and things that are strange
in your mind
are just fine
for us
so quit making that fuss
let us give
what we have to give
LET US LIVE
!!!

I think the lack of adult wisdom and the confused searching for one's place in the world is a major part of what makes teen angst what it is.

And it's been people like this author who have been the driving force behind almost every recent social revolution. It's always been those who have it bad enough to complain, but are well-off enough to speak out.

And those who oppose the dissenting youths mostly criticize how good the "rebels" have it, and how naive they are for rebelling against "nothing".

Jake, you created quite a stir with this one. But what I think the critics fail to recognize is the natural teenage inclination to dissent. This write was not inspired by abusive or controlling parents, but by teen angst and the clash of generations.

so, essentially.. they may not understand where you're coming from as a teenager, you have to respect the fact that they're only human.. what would you do in thier shoes?

You do have to have some respect for the fact that they're doing what they can to parent you, you know? I mean my mum has brought up 5 kids single handedly and we've all turned out to be genuinely decent people.

comment on this is somewhat pointless.. as I don't really relate. I mean, my mum doesn't get me in a lot of ways.. ways that most people don#t. She still thinks i'm a complete headcase most of the time, but she tottally lets me get on with it.

I guess I looked at this differently than most. I didn't see it as a teenager lashing out against his parents... I saw it as kind of a wake up call. Parents these days (and I am one) don't understand a lot of what goes on now

The rules that applied twenty, even ten years, no longer apply. Parents understand general situations, but they don't understand the specifics of this generation (that rhymed... unintentionally)... and dare I say, I liked this write. Oh well.

I'm a teenager myself. I admit, I don't like my parents very much, but not because of what you said. Without your parents you'd be out in the streets somewhere. They know a lot more about you than you think. Human nature is the same in any era.

Boundaries to be set. I think teens who have parents who actually try to be parents should stop telling them to "Stay out of my buisness" and stop being immature. Your going to need your parents later.

sometimes parents can be overprotective but take it with a grain of salt, act mature about it and perhaps they'll trust you enough to go out and have fun responsibly

This is going to sound really stereotypical, but, fuck you, man. You totally missed the point. There was no party, no sex, no drugs nor booze. Try asking what this is about before you try to upstage my rant with your own.
