Dear Diary, What are some hints on life?

Hint #1 - 


It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. Haven't we all been there? Fallen for a guy who just doesn't feel the same way? It completely and utterly sucks. It is like having breakup syndrome, with out there being a break up. 

But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel. That too, feels horrid, you could go a whole life time wondering, what if? What if I had told him and what if he had felt the same. You can't tell your self at least I tried, because news flash you didn't. You didn't try. You didn't even tell him. 

Dear Diary, I'm a half time poet.

You say you'll never cry. 

If tomorrow you were to lose me 

That you'd take it like a man. 

If tomorrow your best friend was no longer, 

You sit there, not spilling a tear, 

You'd have to take it like a man. 

You say you don't care what others think, 

Then how come you listen to their rules? 

They tell you it's not manly 

They tell you to suck it up. 

Real men don't show emotion, 

Real men don't let others in. 

If that is what real men think, 

I don't want one,

If you would stop living by their rules 

You'd see just how much all this is hurting me. 

I want to see your emotions, 

I want to see you care. 

I want to see you MAN up,

I want to see the you, 

The you I know is hiding inside,

If real men are suppose to be strong, 

Strong enough to stop being afraid 

Of what other think 

Of showing people how they they feel. 

But since real men don't cry, 

Guess all will be fine when I'm no longer here. 

Dear Diary, I became a statistic.

I became one, one of those teens who had sex. One of the ones that had sex for the first time before the age of 17. But I am still different. It was with  the same guy I had my first kiss, the same guy that I have been dating for 6 months. In our grade we are one of the only 2 couples to still be dating for that long. He is so far my first for everything. We were both virgins and we both.... still don't love each other. That's not because we do not have crazy strong feelings for each other. By why be like everyone else? Who after one day is saying I love you to each other? Then 2 days later they are broken up? We aren't ready for that. We don't know what's going to happen in the future. So why put so much weight on each others shoulders? Yea we probably do love each other we are just mature enough to know you don't have to say it ALL the time, or post it on facebook. It's your relationship not the worlds.

Love, 

That Not So Average Teen

Dear Diary, Who's Ever Average?

Is anyone ever average? No I don't think so cause who wants to be the average teenage girl who "7 out of 10 will have sex and regret it."  No one! So if that is part of being that average teen who wants to be that? Who wants to be just another statistic? I think this Poem/Quote explains it all. 

--I don't want to be another statistic
Some suicidal teen
Who makes choice to kill herself
When the world just seems too mean.
She cant go on with life
Or so to her it seems
Reality has fallen short

I dont want to be another statistic
Some pregnant little girl
Who met this great guy
And then gave sex a whirl
She was only 15
But it felt so right
She thought theyd be together
For more than just a night

I dont want to be another statistic
Some kid strung out on crack
Who started at a party
and now she cant turn back
First cigarettes and alcohal
Now meth, crack and cocaine
She's been smoking it so long
That now shes gone insane

I dont want to be another statistic
Some girl left in the rain
Who was walking home from school
Then raped and left in pain
She cant tell her parents
And it hurts to tell her friends
She doenst know what she'll do
To make this nightmare end

I dont want to be another statistic
Some kid out of school
Who dropped out early
And was acting like a fool
He thought that it was boring
He thought that it was dumb
He doesn't have an education
But lives on the streets like a bum

I don't want to be another statistic
Some sterotypical teen
I'm gunna make a difference
I'll finish with my dream
I wont end up pregnant
On drugs or even dead
I wont drop out of school
Because i'll use my head

I don't want to be another statistic
To fit into some mold
Of what society thinks of kids today
Because its getting kind of old
Not all of us are bad
In fact most of us are good
When will the world see us
And give us credit like they should?--

I agree SO much with this poem, because I see it everyone assumes, yup that teen is having sex, yup that teen is drinking or stealing. If your in a relationship no body trust you two alone, "CAUSE YOUR A TEEN". Everyone thinks that it's going to end badly. Or the girl will end up pregnant .... but is that really every teen? Or just what society tells us we are? 

Love, 

That not so average Teen.
