My confession. Sometimes I get incredibly jealous of teenagers and at the same time I can’t stand them.
Jealous, because they have their whole future ahead of them, full of opportunity and a chance to make something of their life and change the world, at least for those around them. I don’t have that anymore. I squandered my chance.
Can’t stand them because so many of these kids are selfish, entitled brats who have the maturity of a twelve year old but want to act like adults, They want to live big but want their parents to pay for it, and they don’t know a damn thing about humility, modesty, hard work, common sense or good manners. Most of them will waste that shining opportunity and end up in the same boat I’m in. I wish they’d open their eyes.
I know not all teens are like that. And it’s not fair for me to feel this way. But there ya go that’s why its an anonymous confession.
