JUST A TEEN !

Desiring not to be a child, I refuse to be an adult. While wishing privacy, I don’t want to be alone. Not accepting criticism I need to be accepted anyway. When teased, I react Reacting, I’m misunderstood. Wishing freedom, I need limits. Fighting for my own identity, I experience other’s. Being challenged, I learn Learning, I feel more secure. Keeping quiet, I think Thinking, I keep quiet. Asleep, I dream Dreaming, I wake up. I’m just a teen !

How to describe the most powerful and intense stage of a human being in some lines?

There are innumerable feelings and adjectives to depict a teen

Emotional and easy-going, in some cases

Extremely cooperative when praised

Noisy can be used for most of them, naïve for some

Always connected

Glad, creative, and curious

Especially when they are in a good mood

Reactive, confused, lazy and moody, at any time

Seeking for love and respect, they are incredible and amazing beings. 

Teenagers

When I look at you

Vivacious teens I see.

So gorgeous walking through the isles

Sometimes afraid, however no one says this.

I guess freedom would be your names

All happy and full of glee

But life isn’t fair, 

that’s why I want to help you get free.

Teens in Cambodia

Teens in Cambodia

By Reaksa Moeun

Teens enjoy things hated by the older.

They don’t care, while their parents care for them.

They like to do things against their teachers.

We do feel hard to accept their problems.

They’re so talkative about useless things.

They are really stubborn and dogmatic.

When we ask them to work; they have no feeling,

But they like to be praised and romantic.

What can be done right for Cambodian teens?

What helps them live in a good society?

What are crucial answers for these questions?

We really want to give them their safety.

We hope teens would be more reliable.

They’ll know our ideas are acceptable.

Waiting for the future,
Hoping for the best,
Believing nothing,
Our minds have no rest.


Wrapped in the fads,
Belonging to "the pack",
Lost in the world sometimes,
We search for our track.


Childish and adult,
Hysterical and fair,
Understanding's difficult,
Just show us that you care!
