Society Killed The Teenager.

SOCIETY KILLED THE TEENAGER.  Yep, that says it all. I just recently went to my little brothers science fair at the Junior High School. All around me I saw little 30 year old women. These girls are 13 years old... they are supposed to be  wearing unmatching clothes that are way to big,  pigtails, and not caring whether they look good- just having a good time with their friends. Well apparently not, these girls are not even girls anymore. Perhaps clones of a barbie ? Spray tans, bleached hair,  nails done, wearing fancy clothes and heels, and walking around with their boyfriends. Since when do year olds have boyfriends and I-phones ?! I suppose I got lost in the translation it was okay to give us every luxury we could ever want and let us look and feel way beyond their age just because it apparently the 'trendy' way to do it. Is there really such thing as a teenager anymore? All of the ads, the culture, social networking, the hate, and the trends.. they destroy what little of human individuality we have. Deemed by society it is okay for todays teenager to be a barbie doll by the age of 14, to drink, to do drugs, to have sex,  just do whatever and get whatever they please. Society is killing us.. literally and metaphorically. There is hardly any responsibility or respect towards adults or anyone for that matter, it is not expected nor demanded.

Society Kills Us.

Why is it that girls are starving themselves to fit the terms of what society has deemed 'beautiful' ? Why cant we be the way they are? Why are we never skinny enough? Pretty enough? Popular enough? Why? I simply do not understand how we can let others that think they are so important decide what is beautiful or not. It is never good enough.I am a in High School- I'm the one that knows it best. Today's ociety doesn't care what is in the inside, its what is in the picture. That picture.. It kills. Suicide. Anorexia. Bulimia. Self-mutilation. All just to be 'pretty'. It destroys-it wrecks the mind. Does anybody out there understand that? Stop with the judgement. stop with the destruction of the people around you. Take a look around for the day, your just like them. A individually different and equally beautiful human being. Flaws and all, society is wrong. We arent skinny, fat, ugly, pretty,gross,gorgeous, or any thing that we propose upon humanity. We are human. Not dolls.
