"Teen Angst… Teen angst is the overwhelming tedium of our everyday pathetic lives… How sick and tired you are of it all. Well you’ve all heard th cliche term “the angst of it all” puts back of hand to forehead dramtically its the supreme feeling of sorrow and apprehension of what will come the next day around… If only this stupid fucking rollercoaster had emergency brakes to let us stop and look at everything around us. "
That was from my friend Violca.
She’s cool.
She’s also very “angsty”…
Maybe thats why I like her so much.
I feel the same wayas her, although I can’t express it so poetically…
Well, thank you all for your support.
I’m sorry to say that I was only 50% serious about a lot of that stuff. I had realised that most of the ‘dramas’ of being a teenager don’t matter and was just having a whinge to send myself up.
That’s why I asked for other people to have a bit of a whinge.
I see that meaning was not conveyed…
Oh well, getting all that moral support was nice anyway. Thanks.
'Blackeyes - get over it. If you actually want respect from people on these boards, one of the best ways to go about it is to NOT complain about how much you want their respect, and can you have it now, please?!?! The same is true for real life, actually.
I read the thread that you are refering to, and I see your point, but I see Fenris’ too. Besides, didn’t he reply at one point that he was just having a go at you?
[angst]
But then, who am I to talk? I doubt anyone here knows my name, and if they do, they probably think I’m not cool enough.
[/angst]
I just feel as worthless as I am. I’m too fat, My feet are too smal, boobs too big, Skin not clear enough, almost all of my freinds are sperficial little preps that I only hang out with cuz I get lonely and I don’t want to be aone, I hate my mom, I hate living on an Island(which I actually do; I need to take a 15 minute boat ride to get to school in the summer…)I hate school, too.
Dayum. I coulda SWORN you said ‘life sucks, get a Hamlet’
And I though ‘oooo’ good Shakespear reference!
At 33, I’m not so old as to remember how crappy my formative years were. The best tool you can have is confidence. Looks, brains, money, they don’t really matter.
Confidence and being true to yourself do. You’ll find that after Highschool, in college or in Real Life, there are a TON of people Just Like You, and they’re a very good group of people to hang with.
I read down to about airdisc’s entry… Honestly, I’m 15 and I’m very happy with myself… other than the fact that I’m the only girl I know that doesn’t know how to put on makeup or do my hair, but oh well. I have some good friends and am involved in a lot of positive activities. I think it just depends on your personality. I have a friend who is always doubting herself and how she looks, because she doesn’t have high self-esteem. I’m completely at the other end of that, so I’m a lot more secure. You’ll get past it, don’t worry!
Why are there so many fifteen-year-old girls in here? I want to be unique!
Anyway. I don’t think I’m particularly angsty, but I have my days. Being a teenager is just not fun - it’s greasy and messy and hormonal. And I feel like I’m missing out on the “teenage experience” - I’ve gone to one concert, with my mom, and the crowd made me feel so claustrophobic that I had to leave. I distrust my compatriots in general, especially when they’re drunk. Man, I’m really going to hate teenagers when I’m older if I dislike them this much NOW.
However, my main concern is that I feel like I should be enjoying these years instead of dreaming of college, but school is just boring and I have no social life to speak of. College seems fun and liberating and enlightening.
Oh, and magic8ball? Riding a boat to school sounds awesome! A lot better than having to be driven everywhere. Grrr, stupid no-public-transportation suburbs.
