As a teen, I think that we what we think about most is how our futures are going to turn out. We wonder how everything we do everyday, will effect our future. We wonder, if things will be good, great or terrible. Everyday of our lives we subconsciously are afraid that things won't turn out a well as we hope. We think that maybe all of our hard work won't pay off...and we also think of the possibility that are hard work is no enough to support our dreams and goals. At the end of everyday, we do not have direct control of how our lives turn out, and that is viciously frightening for us everyday. It is frighting that everyday the decisions we make, as young and reckless teens will impact our adult lives no matter how hard we try. We look at television shows, and see the lives of people that may be us in the future. We wonder if we have have stereotypical adult lives, with hardly any money and regretful pasts. However, the hope that we will lead happy lives keeps us going everyday. Mostly, we are afraid that we will mess up. So as teens, everyday we do as much work as we can, we look a colleges to go to, and we try as hard as we can to be self-conscious of the decisions we make. As we think of these things daily, we also have to accept that although are mistakes are what breaks us in life, they are also the things that make us the people we will become. Although mistakes seem to be the enemy to a teens future, I strongly believe that without them things will not go as well as. Even though thinking about or future may be stressful at the time, sometimes I believe it is the only thing that keeps us going everyday until 4pm, through every week until Friday, and every month until summer time. With all the issues, and things we have on our minds, and the days we feel we have no reason to live, our future is what keeps us going in the present. It may not be good to live in the past or worry about the future, but some days in some situations the things that are not good for us can lead us to good. Just how being so stressed with school that our hair just might fall out is bad for us, but it will lead to a great future for us....someday. So, as teens we think of our future will turn out... it is stressful to have our whole lives on out shoulders at such a young age, but we do and nothing will change it. And all we can do is find out how to juggle everything at once. This pain, right here, everyday is what helps us find ourselves...and figure out what we want and need for our future. Living in the moment is something we must develop as time goes by, and hopefully us teens still have a lot of that.... ahead of us :) #BARZZZZZ

I do in fact believe that knowledge can be a burden rather than benefit, to some extent. Obtaining the knowledge, is more than half the reason why education and knowledge is a burden. The stress of obtaining knowledge to be on a certain level in life is a burden itself. Although knowledge is the key to all success, sometimes it is not the root of all happiness. Also having a lot of knowledge, can put pressure on people that in unnecessary, and stressful. When someone has achieved many things there is a pressure for them to be good at all things, and be successful always. However, even people with knowledge are human, and make mistakes. Just like in high school, as teens learn each year they have more expected of them each year. This creates a burden for students to be perfect each year, however students still have flaws, and forget things periodically. As people learn new things, there is a pressure that they aren't learning things fast enough, or aren't smart enough, and do not have they right abilities to learn things the way others can. Although stress can come for the process and from the impact of knowledge, knowledge can also be powerful. Taking the stress of knowledge and achieving everything that someone is capable of. Knowledge is something that will be worth the stress and pressure in the end. Knowledge is very valuable, and is the beginning of many options, and success. 

A Reading That Fascinated Me .

      Today, I saw a quote on Twitter, and it fascinated. The quote read, "The Bad News : You cannot make people like, love, understand, validate, accept, or be nice to you. Good news is : It doesn't matter." This was very interesting to me, because everyday people try continuously to make people love them. However, one cannot control the thoughts, and hearts of others. If being yourself isn't enough for someone to care for you unconditionally, they are someone you don't need in your life. One needs someone who is going to not change you, but help you to embrace who you are, and become the best you possible. Not everyone will see the good in you, not everyone will even make an effort.
      Although you can't make people feel certain ways, it does not matter, and is not a reflection of who and what you are. All that matters is that you love, like, understand, validate, accept, and are nice to yourself. You cannot depend on others to make you happy, therefore you find it within yourself. It does not matter what other people feel about you, it is only what you feel for yourself, and what you believe. Everyone looks for comfort in others, however you cannot let the absence of other peoples effort make you feel bad. It doesn't matter that you can't make people feel certain things, because at the end of the day all you have is yourself. People will not always be there to comfort and understand you so do for yourself. 
     Sometimes no matter how hard you try you cannot stop people from being cruel. You just have to find people that a comfortable with who you are, and that will not happen until you are comfortable with yourself. All you can do is show yourself, and it is up to that person to decide how they want to see you and treat you. It doesn't matter that you can't make people love you, because you shouldn't have to force or try to make someone feel a certain way about you. If you need to try, you are either trying too hard, and making things impossible for yourself, or those people do not deserve to be in your life.
