Being a Teenager

So often am I bombarded with messages of how useless my generation is that I begin to believe that I really am worthless. Enough news channels say that I am dumb and pointless and slowly I see their point of view. I get upset at how I'm not going to be able to cope with relying on myself because I am told that my generation is the one that will make the world spiral out of control and into dark times. When I feel this way I am forgetting something very important: These news reporters and I are underestimating me.
We are told that this generation is lazy and only likes watching TV but they are forgetting that every single person has at least one or two things that they are good at. Whether it is being able to make your best friend laugh or being able to paint like Van Gogh all these little talents are ours and we should never think that they are unimportant. I personally play the Cello and, although I don't play it as well as some people I know, I use this as my little reminder that I'm not useless. When I see these messages about how useless my generation and I are I feel down but I keep going on doing exactly what I love because that is the thing that makes me good. When I do what I love I am kinder to others and am all 'round a better person. So next time someone tells you that you aren't good enough or that you are letting them down just keep on being you because that will ensure the world that you live in will be a better place.
