Teenage

By Pragati Kandpal, (X), CJM
Drastic changes in life…
Which make you fall short of strength and all in might,
You seem to lose hope easily…
As you’re fed of the new thing you come across in life daily.
Courage and boldness seems to decrease,
And some of us start hating the word ‘please’,
Studies and parents are difficult to handle;
‘Cause they expect so much from us which is difficult to tangle.
Peer pressure somewhere makes you feel secure and strong,
But people take it all wrong…
You’re considered to be in bad company,
When you start spending some of the money.
Do’s and Don’t’s are so much taught,
That you get fed up and shout ‘it’s enough’;
It’s unbearable for all of us,
And then the effect is observed on our nerves.
You’re made to do left and right,
So that you’re under control and never fight;
Laugh less; concentrate more is the mantra you hear,
‘Cause the parents always live in some kind of fear.
Lectures, lectures, lectures everywhere,
You feel as if Hitler is back dictating here;
Lots of dramas and scenes everyday,
That you get tired and say ‘just pack up for the day’.
Gossips and stories between friends,
Are enjoyed by all, as they’re so much fun;
Discussing equations, sums in class is just a cool reason,
But the reality is not hidden, we all know it.
Cell phones, movies, fashion is what that’s ‘in’,
And if you’re interested in something else,
Then excuse me, you’ve committed a sin!
Exploring, trying new things is all what we like!
Cool parents, friendly teachers and best friends,
Is what we all need...
They are the one who form our pillars of support;
And with their help we prosper and attain full growth.
These are the years to fully enjoy,
No tensions at all;
‘Cause these years won’t ever come back in life,
So be happy being a teenager!
