You know that feeling you get when you put something into the grocery cart while shopping with your mom, like a bag of Doritos or a pack of ice cream bars? But then she tells you to put it away? Yeah, that's what your teenage years feel like...times 10. For our age right now we have a unforgivably deep hatred towards authority and being controlled. These are the years you start wanting to hang out with friends late at night, driving around in an old beat up car your grandpa probably found on the side of the road, experimenting (maybe too much), and starting to think for yourself. For the most part you can do those things already if you're a good kid with some lenient parent, or maybe you're just really sneaky and don't get caught but one thing that stay the same is the strong determination in teenagers to start becoming themselves. I don't have that much family here in Washington. I live with just my mother and no direct siblings from both biological parents of mine. My mom has seen me start to take school more seriously and go out on my own to find work. Since I'm starting to become a young man my mom has thus began treating me like my own person. My mother always told me that if I keep my grades up in school then I can practically do whatever I want. Do I do whatever I want to do? Obviously not. But that's only because of one thing that cripples me and everyone else....money. Money is such a pain in the ass but its the best thing in the world at the same time. But like they say, money can't buy happiness, so there is literally nothing stopping me or you from going out and doing whatever we want to do.

I know how you feel trust me, us teenagers never really get treated seriously until our parents realize we're maturing and ready to be treated like an adult. But soon before we know it we'll be all grown up and treated with respect.

Money can't buy happiness? I beg to differ. Look at me, I'm a swell guy. I'm loved by everyone. You may not have the power to do something now, but believe me, when you become older and you're out on your own, think of me. Think of how much better off I will be from you. You may not know it but your life has just started. I worked to get where I am today. It's not easy bein' cheesy my friend. Take that to the bank.
