First I want to start off this post by saying, the video refers to teen girls and feminism instead of teens in general, so as I explain this topic I’m going to explain what I got out of it not just for girls but just for any teen that is still finding them self out.

As a teenager myself I can tell you from firsthand experience that it isn’t as easier as parents portray it to be, for our generation is not as excepting as generations in the past. All teens are still finding their footing as we grow, trying to find the base of who we are and build ourselves up from that. So some teenagers come across as if they are not likeable and they just wouldn’t be the type of person you would tend to hang out around, but they might be a reliable person. As teens we tend to be seen as a type of outcast, as a baby and we technically are. We are trying to figure ourselves out and that’s not the easiest thing to do. Trying to figure out where we want to go maybe after high school, what we want to do as a career, and most of all who we really are as a person, our true self. As teens most of us can be seen as shut off or distant, possibly either because they have had a tragic even happen in their past or they are insecure about themselves. Most teens in today’s generations are seriously insecure about their appearance and do distance themselves from others. They really do not know what they want and feel insure about it. While every teen is looking for some type of answer that can allow them to put themselves down the path where they want to go, they don’t always have to go looking towards a friend or a family member. Though that may help it may not. For the only person who truly has the answers in themselves and they will eventually reach that path and it may be long and hard but they will eventually figure it out.

In the current book we just finished reading in my class, Catcher in the Rye, written by J.D Salinger, a teenage boy goes through some of the typical teenage feelings that we see in all at the age of sixteen. He loses his brother and goes through a devastating loss, he continuously gets kicked out of his schools he goes too and he just can’t find where he fits in. He then runs to his home, New York City. While he’s in the city he continuously asks people he meets where the ducks go that live at the pond, when he’s honestly just wondering where he should go. He’s a confused kid but at the end of the book he finds himself and he grows up. In the end you’ll always find yourself not matter what happens. Never give up and just continue to follow your green light.
