Slow Down!

In this fast paced day and ag all anyone has in mind is finishing school, growing up leaving childhood behind regardless of the circumstances and regardless of what they needf parents push their kids too hard the key emphasis is speed "Quick quick! hurry up! Learn faster are you out of your mind? You can't afford to move that slow your going to be left behind" Pushing children to act like adults expecting matruity beyond their years never listening to anything they have to say not their questions, doubts or fears Underage we have no voice we are neither seen nor heard but the things you expect us KIDS to do are really damn absurd a generation of adolescants pushed ahead and forced to compete fighting in the adult world attempting to find their feet Listen, we are not ready to act and think like you when we grow up, we will go on and do the things you do You have CHILDREN in the workforce struggling for their wage with the whole world on their shoulders before they are of age! Give us a little more time before you put us to teh test let us learn just a little bit more before we have to compete with the rest
