Teenagers

They are the confused being

They don't know where to belong

They seek attention and affection

If forsaken, would wander along

They might be difficult to handle

But they are ambitious and adventurous

But aggressive for their own good

If misguided would tread the wrong road.

Parents become their enemy

Friends are now their family

Teachers must act as referee

To bridge their uncertainty.

The Teen Poem

THE TEEN TEEN

You are curious to see what there is at the end of the earth,

Even you are adventurous enough to start with a small backpack,

Enthusiastic to meet dangers of the path.

But sometimes the roads are not so plain,

And your society bitterly reminds you of Roseau’s words,

“Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chain”.

You want to be independent, like Icarus, free from all the bonds,

And similar to him, you become vulnerable when you are emotional;

Nevertheless, you again march in line of bolds.

At the end of the day, you have your head on the pillow

And in mind many a questions fly;

One of them is…

Who am I?

Who am I?

TEENAGERS


You  are the young person  with open views ,
And bright ideas ,  with vivid dreams .
Let everything be fine , as it should be,
You  are the pride , the country's hope!
 
Meet , fall in love,  learn, and  marry
Achieve success in your chosen field ,
From timid steps to high levels
Leave your mark in a series of generations.
 
Let fate and will develop plans come true ,
Open the door , no matter where you will go .
Let not be afraid of barriers and mists .
You are the person strong and brave!

Two True Things About TEENS

Understanding is what they seek

Very puzzled is how they feel

Waiting to be amazed all the time

Every time someone new arrives.

Teens can be hard to deal with sometimes

It’s like their voice is somewhere left behind

Comfortable they’re waiting to feel

to be as talkative as they could be.

The Best Age

To those who change and
Have the opportunity of
Exploring while learning to become the
Best. To those who dream and
Enable the possitive
Side of life.
To those who love besides
All difficulties:
Girls & boys, the teenagers of today,
Enchant the world with their smiles every day.

By Daniela María Turrubiates Mireles.

TEENAGERS

They arrive totally absorbed to class

Eagerly awaiting the first word to be said

Excited to interact and share with others

Nevertheless reserved when experiencing the unknown

Affection and understanding they seek

Going ahead of thoughts and questions still unasked

Encouraged by triumph in grades to pursue their goals

Reluctant to accept academic defeat

Souvenirs of bitter-sweet moments they leave

5 Teen's Things!

  5 Teens’ Things!

Impatient as they might be,

Being creative is in their list,

Character they never seemed to lack,

Also being technological is never hard.

Teens energetic way more than me,

Let them be as innovative as they can be!

José González!
