I hated being a teenager. No one took you seriously or trusted you, everyone around you was an asshole, hormones dominated your life, you were insecure about everything, adults relished squashing you and playing power games with you… it wasn’t fun. Seriously, adults say teenagers are emotional and unpredictable and shit, but adults enjoy asserting their dominance over teenagers and deliberately upset teenagers. It’s a power game. It’s, “I can be as cruel to this young person as I want because they have no power and I do,” just like that scene in the Breakfast Club. Being twenty-one is definitely better. Still not total freedom though.
