Youthful Life: X

Being a teenager is all about staking your claim and holding your ground. You've got just much to be somewhere as anyone else and you've got to own it if you're going to dominate. No matter where you are, who you're with, and what you're doing - being present and notable is important. You've got to know when to fall back and when to take people on. What to fight for and what to let go. Here it is, this is a showdown.   Showdowns only happen because two or more people disagree. That's the basis of the whole ordeal in the first place. But before there's conflict, there's attitude. The attitude you care around, whether that be an arrogant air of superiority, or a nonchalant "I gives none" shrugged off style - your attitude is saying something - whether you want it to or not. Showdowns are standoffs, when people come to impasses, because they're too hard-headed, stubborn or full of too much pride to come to a compromise. When you're...

Being a teenager is all about blowing your top at the most deserved things. Teenagehood and college go hand in hand with flipping the heck out, raging and taking names. Just because we're out of high school does not mean there are still not people who will piss you off. I've only encountered a few people that have turned my volcano of rage from dormant to an eruption of epic proportions. Watch out down below, Mount Joteng is about to blow. Let's get to some classic ranting and raving. My biology class is pretty cool. The prof is his quirky self and the class is normal for the most part but there are few outliers that need to go. Specifically there's this kid who asks annoying questions. I'm talking the teach will spew off a paragraph of new information and he'll ask some dumbass question that vaguely has something to do with the topic. Dear random question poser, please disappear, you're unnecessary interruptions for your personal stupidity are slowing ou...

Being a teenager means always having to deal with your siblings. That may mean some rough tough fights, and a whole lot of yelling matches. Probably includes some stealing money, borrowing clothes without asking, and ridiculous pranks that just cause more problems than laughter. Here's the thing about family, you can't choose your family, and whether you like it or not, you're related, so you should probably get used to the embarrassing situations and unexplainable moments. For example, I have this brother, and you shouldn't even get me started on him because our feud probably dates back to the day I was born. Overall I would say we were close, but the fights, battles, and out of control incidents have been more than enough for this lifeftime. The older we got, the more vicious and unbearable each encounter got. Somehow, overtime I just became my brother's keeper. Y'all probably know the story of Cain and Abel, no I'm not about to go biblical of you all an...
