Time to Grow Up.

I've always questioned teenagers. being one myself, it gives me all the more reason. And the more I question, the more I realize: we're screwed. We are just flat out screwed.

Look at us. we've got 10.2 trillion dollars worth of national deficit thats being dumped on us, we've got an economy in the toilet thats being handed to us, and we've got a war and insurgents that want us dead. And what do we do? Complain every day about how that Chemistry test is going to kill us, or how our cell phone broke and we don't know how we will survive. Or maybe your "Y" button on your computer broke and now you can't use your computer.

Suck it up and grow up people. We've got a heckuva lotta problems put upon us. by the time we all turn 18, guess what? We're the ones in charge of all of the crap that our mothers and fathers and their mothers and fathers have done.

Do we even have the ability to contain this? People these days can't seem to get a bloody education. Now, I'm lucky in the fact that I go to a private school. I know many other people that do as well. But what about public schools, schools so large they dont' even know how many kids are in their district? schools so large that the teachers are less concerned about their education and more about their saleries; going on strike when kids need to be educated?

The few need to teach the many. The minority needs to show the majority waht is happening. Because I'm sure that missed text won't matter when you find $2,000 worth of taxes and the IRS sitting on the front step of your door.

So the next time you post that bulliten that is saying "LIFE IS AMAZING, TEXT ME", stop and think for a minute. It won't last too much longer.

Soon.....we won't be able to do this at all.

Time to grow up, guys. We've got some work to do.
