Praise -Expression of approval, commendation, or admiration.
Breaking news - Three teens shot by other teens...and there was something about art.
Breaking news - A teen was caught mugging an old lady...and then there was a dance off or something.
Teens deserve something other than the bad stuff. We, as teens, are given a bad rep...we're the hell raisers on the radio and on the news. Someone near my age beat the hell out of a police officer. The same day, a group of teens fund raised for homeless kittens, and such. Of course, that last part wasn't real but that's what happens. We don't get good press because there's to much bull happening elsewhere. 200 hundred kids protest budget cuts in Rochester but the whole damn world stops cause some low-life decides to steal some candy from a Spencer's. Frankly, I'm sick of it. We deserve so much more cause we're sooooooooooo interesting and unique. We're artists and leaders and we don't get on the news because the news focuses on the BS.
I know a group of teens that are agents of social change, some poets, some dancers, some just speakers. They are the ones that should be on the news. They are the ones that should be getting the press. Not the ignorance. Until the ignorance leaves the T.V. screens, show your community that you're not a hell raiser. There is a generation of beauty evolving right now. Someone should be living up to that. We all should be. I am. And behind me are thousands. Join the crowd...we have jackets.

i totally agree. its so depressing to see all the bad news all the time and never to focus on anything good. i know that there is a lot that is wrong that needs to be fixed, but there is a lot of wonderful things that happen every day and that should be celebrated :)
ReplyDeleteWOW!! you are SOOOOO riqht!! i aqree 100%. There is so much that the teens of 2009 are doinq its not even funny. it's not like they are sittinq on their asses. there should be MORE news about the qood thinqs that are becominq of our youth, not just the fact that SOME teens are killinq people and all that neqative BS tht the world could live without.
