When I was younger, I was so excited to grow up. Sleepovers, late night walks, parties, secondary school, shopping trips, pool parties. But I soon realised that life isn't actually like High School Musical. Homework, drama, revision, relationships, exams, stress.
Being a teenager is hard.
Our generation don't make it easy for each other. Like lions, they go for the weaker ones, shred them apart and eat them alive. You can't be different. You can't be too pale, too dark, too short, too tall, too skinny, too fat, too quiet, too loud. You have to have the perfect face, the body of a Kardashian, expensive clothes, the latest phone. Why are we hunting our own kind?
Being a teenager is hard.
8am-3pm are the worst hours of the day. You can't wear what you want, talk when you want, go to the toilet when you want. When you walk through the doors at 8.30, you are no longer an individual - just another Fearnhill student, no different from the person standing next to you in the exact same clothes.
Being a teenager is hard.
Schoolwork is the worst part of school. Fussing, worrying, stressing about something you won't even need after the age of 16. I know absolutely nothing about taxes and bills, but thank God I know how to calculate the circumference of a circle! And just when you think the torture is over, there's a lovely pile of homework and revision waiting at the dinner table for you when you get home.
Yeah, being a teenager is hard.
