Our generation is so obsessed with the idea of perfection, society has consumed us with the thought of how we are meant to be.
At first it was skint,
Now it's give, what's next?
We are influence by terms that are not even real words, such as baddie, Thot, swag, icy.
We look up to celebrities who are addicted to fame, drugs and money. They taught us quotes such as, "yolo", and "turn down for what".
Lyrics have become angrier, raunchier and discriminative.
Is this really role model criteria?
All I see in high school is a bunch of people hating on each other pretending to be friends. It is no longer a place to learn, instead it's all about
Passing
Failing
Appearances
And who you surround yourself with.
High school is hell.
A girl cries
People laugh
She thought she could trust him
Now the whole school has seen her naked
A guy lets a girl know how beautiful she is to him

All because he sounded "thirsty"
People aren't even dating anymore
You only find "hook ups", "things", and "friends with benefits".
We meet on Twitter by "sliding into DMs"
Which leads to talking
Sharing too much
And ending as strangers.
This generation has lost the meaning of romance
We took around "I love you", like their "hellos"
We give our bodies to people that don't care
And we are judged by the amount of people we have let in
Our generation lies on drugs, alcohol and parties.
We drink to get drunk.
Drunk texts
Drunk hookups
Drunk driving
Drunk decisions
Drugs are easy to find
When stressed
When happy
When sad
When lonely
When bored
Parties are no longer about celebrations
It's for beer pong
Shots
Smoking
Sex
Our generation tried to grow up too fast
People of this generation do not talk
Only exchange links
We are masked by screens
Confrontation has turned into 140 characters
Text
Status
And if we're lucky, a phone call
Doorbells are not rung
Instead a "here" text is sent
Rather then being ignored physically
It is now just a "read" text
Yet, it still hurts the same
Because getting no message, is also a message
Technology has ruined adventuring
We don't go out into the rain because our phones will get ruined
We don't camp because service is unavailable
We do not venture beyond places without wifi connection
Too many adolescents have addictions to superficial things; iPads, iPhones, iPods, have substituted outdoor activities.
Parents complain all the time about this messed up generation.
About how we are the wasted youth.
But don't let the, forget.
They raised us.
