Sam

I loved you poem. You expressed your self incredably. I have been going through the same situation for the past year. I completely agree. Everyone is always saying that these are the best years of your life, but what is so good about them when you have all these troubles.

Alisa

Ashley

this is realy true this is my fave. poem from all what i heared of being a teen & the teen life.

Donna

I liked your poem it was quite cool. hope to read another one of yours soon.

Angel

i can totally relate to this poem! I think someone should show it to my dad. We are all asked to grow up and be responsible but we are expected to want to do things a 10 year old does. We are expected to carry the weight of our teen lives yet speak and act innocently. We are given the priviledges of a 2 year old and expected to act like a 21 year old. I think this poem out lines that!

eric

This poem is great because i needed a poem for english that said what i am feeling and this hits the spot perfect

Tammy. I think you poem is the best poem I've read for a long time. It is absolutely true about teenage years. Parents and "Adults" don't seem to remember what it feels like to be a teen. If they could remember at least a little part of it they might be a little nicer to us and not be so abusive when we do mess up. I want to thank you for taking all my feelings and putting them in a tight little ball and shooting them out at the world for every one to see

Kevin

sarah

Kristin

Mindy

This poem tells the absolute truth and is very outspoken.
