About the Poem
In this day and age the pressure to take drugs is intense from peers. School is no longer a safe place in many aspects.
In the poem I have written for you, I describe today in the life of a teen - me.
Learning About Whispers And Love And Drugs |
| by Evalyn Rose |
| Every day passes reminding me of things to be learned I do not know about life as an adult sees it I only know as a teenager and child what life is meant to be Today I learned of love and the falsities it bears I do not know its true meaning or the reason I find it never true I do not know how to tell a good friend from bad we all talk behind each other's backs I see not me in the mirror but a teenager who is too fat or utterly ugly Today I learned of drugs and of all the feelings they bring I experimented just a little and now I wish for more If everybody goes through the torment of teen pain and they hear the much defeating snickers and comments why are adults so cruel as to say these are the best years of our lives? |

Great poem. it gets the message across about how difficult it is to grow up. If teenage years are to be the best of our lives then I am truely terrified to become an adult. In my opinion life cannot get much harder than it is right now. Thank you for writting this poem- (coming from a 15 year old)

This poem is great! It does tell the truth about what our teenage years are all about. Its not a time of fun and games its a time of learning and growing are that rite there is scary. You said it like it is and thanks for that. Keep doing what your doing.

Your poem really touch me, cuz i am in high skool, a 9th grader,and I tried drugs and for weeks I would skip skool just to get high on a blunt. I did it, cuz of a guy that i like, he said that it was ok, so I did it. I have been clean for more than 2 months he got expelled i got more months add to my probation, so this poem really thouch me, cuz i have been down the road of pain, and because of the drugs, i lost all my friends.

Your poem expresses what so many young and even older teens are feeling. Growing up is hard, especially in our teenage years. I'm only 17, and I feel as if I've went through as much as I can handle. People say that this will be the best years of our lives. but they never told us about how hard it would be either. Life isn't easy, nobody ever said it would be. It's harder for some people then it is for others. You also have to remember that people also say, "Life is what you make it. " Forget about everyone else and do your own thing!

This poem is so true about being a teen. Adults tell us these are the best years of our life but really, we experience things that most adults never had to be faced with when they were our age. This poem just tells it exactly like it is!

Amanda
I agree with this poem. Why do parents say that this is the best years of our live when it feels like we're never going to get through them, and everything we do is wrong to them.
