no title.

In today's world, many people have many opinions. That right is within our human nature, a thing that God gave to us. But sometimes, I wonder why people believe the things they do. One thing specfically has been on my mind lately. The people in my generation are the ones that will be doing so many different things in the near future. The next election? The majority of people my age will definitely be participating in that process. And soon, after high school and after college, some of us will be married and make our world even fuller with people, and bring children into this world. But it seems to me like most older people don't seem to understand that. Don't get me wrong, it's not just them, there are many others who share those sentiments. But to me, it seems like the majority of people who are a little bit older don't really respect us very much. As if we don't understand the world and don't deserve to be recognized. That may be putting it too strongly, however I think their are people like that. Teenagers are ignorant. Teenagers are irresponsible. Teenagers don't respect people on a regular basis. I understand that. I make those mistakes every single day. But not all teens are as bad as most perceive them to be. Teenagers can understand things. Teenagers can act responsibly. Teenagers can respect people. But most people don't even give them the chance. I may be having an optimistic attitude, but I'm so tired of people underestimating people my age. As if we don't have anything to offer, nothing to give. Because, in reality, it is quite the opposite.
