but first of all, what are the things a secondary school student would rant about?
1) puppy love.
smirking huh? not so fast. every secondary school teenager has gone through this period. its already embarrassing to recall the things you've done in secondary school all for your 'love', yet recounting the tale to somebody else. you would spend your money on valentines day, for that 'love' of yours. buying gifts, etc. and the success rate of you getting into a relationship = x %
x = define yourself.
2) stress (with regards to school, family, relationship (not again -.-) )
i realized teenagers love to complain how unfair their life can be, or how unfair is life towards them. in actual fact, the things that are making most teenagers unhappy are super trivial. But we do realize, as we grow up, as boys become men in serving national service, there are greater problems that exist in this world. problems that could pre-determine your destiny. problems that could shape your life for the next 20-30 years.
whatever we do now, we will be accountable for what happens 20-30 years later. to think we were depressed over some girl/guy who didn't like us (-.-), or why our parents were so strict on us, or feeling sian about school, wanting to join the workforce.
talking about school, i miss school.
3) etc.
i can go on & on, but i'm sure everybody has a different teenage experience. it may be sweet, may be bitter. but every single one's unique. and to say farewell to teenage-hood, some throw a birthday party at a chalet/clubhouse. Some prefer a more intimate celebration, with a few close friends and parents.
As i said, everybody has a different take on everything. and so far, for the past 21 years, it has been an eye-opener for me, especially in recent years. its an education experience a classroom cannot offer, but its these kinda experiences that teach you the hard way, via pain and experience.
as i'm about to embark a new chapter in my life, i pray for the best.
p.s: less emo, more content, more colors from now on!
