THESE TEENS THINGS CONCERN ME---


What's UP
I'm tested and I am upset;
Cause I can't have my way;
This is some of the concerns of me as a, teen today...


AHH!!!  man my parents, don't think
They just don't understand;
Adults these days, just don't know what to do, or say...
What's UP
I'm tested and I am upset;
Cause I can't have my way;
This is some of the concerns of me as a, teen today...

These teens things concern me?  

Disrespected, nothing left but death;
Abused and or neglected;
Changing social climate;
And you wonder why I'm upset;


These teens things concern me?  

My mental health;
Was all I had left?
I spent all my time on electronic devices;
Bully for bullying I've been there before;

These teens things concern me?  

Someone's treated me electronically;
took my coat and lunch money too;
Intimidated, degraded;
Been made a target;


These teens things concern me?  

My first bully is fear;
Seemingly no one even cares;
I'm sexually activity because as a boy it's not cool;
If you're a virgin and you obey all those rules;
Be a man represent the worlds says do;
And a girl if you give in and let those semen swim;
Nine months later you've may have give birth to a child;
Being cool, now no one helping you...
Running wild, looking for love no one cares;
Sexually transmitted diseases some of which you can't even spell;
What's the hurry to be an adult, who do you trust;
Learn  the true meaning of love;
Slow up.......
Marijuana exceeds cigarettes use now;
Lung cancer, high blood pressure, heart attacks can't happen to me now;
And what do you mean Mary Jane stays awhile in my blood stream; (HOW!!)
this practice my habit may keep me from a (now) job;


These teens things concern me?  

What's UP
I'm tested and I am upset;
Cause I can't have my way;
This is some of the concerns of me as a, teen today...

These teens things concern me?  

Don't need no dumb adult, to tell me WHAT!!!
They don't listen, they just past judgement;
They're not forgiven, they just punish;
This is just some of the concerns of me as a teen today...



These teens things concern me?  

I may drink to get high but never to get drunk; (WHAT!!)
The law, parents, authorities can't  tell me nothing ;
And yet when the rave and what I think is fun is through...
Stopping to think about drinking alcohol isn't all that cool;
(WHO'S THE FOOL)
The pains after, the morning after;
Why is is when you fail or fall our peers, seer with laughter;

And they say that I'm heavier than I need to be;
Obese, a victim of obesity;
As for my academic problems I'm a troubled teen;
So much pressure to be and honor student;
Burning me out can't handle this scene;


These teens things concern me?  

What's UP
I'm tested and I am upset;
Cause I can't have my way;
This is some of the concerns of me as a, teen today...

Peer the pressure, my fellow students and friends;
Not a new issue brings to a new level;
Sexting, don't understand the lifelong consequences;
And lets not forget social media;
I am problematically involved in Facebook, Instagram an d Twitter;
Can be exposed to unsavory people;
I need to reduce the risk of my teen face online;
This I'm concerned not totally fine;
Unsavory websites could be detrimental;
Lastly media at one time or another;
Not just TV or Movies that attack my subliminal;
Violent video games, disturbing acts of aggression;
Watching continued violence with lack of empathy;
My mind racing please be still, where's the peace in me;
I 'm living now for the thrill I see;
So important to talk about what matters to me;
What's the most burning question are adults...
 "Why won't you ...
LISTEN TO ME!!!


What's UP
I'm tested and I am upset;
Cause I can't have my way;
This is some of the concerns of me as a, teen today...
