Wow... I'm tired!

Snow, snow, snow... That's all that I can see when I look out my door for the last week!
It's been snowing, then stopping, the snowing... Just off and on. It's crazy... But, it's actually really pretty.
I don't know why I started out saying that... But, it's true, it has been snowing like crazy and it is really pretty. Anyway, I didn't update at all last month, basically because I have been extremely busy, and so tired I can barely keep my eyes open.
Which leads me to my topic. Teenagers get tired! There are so many people who think that teenagers should be able to just bounce back from staying up all night if they get one hour of sleep because we are "young"...? Really? Did you know that a teenagers brain is growing at the same pace that a baby's is? And an adults brain has slowed down to the pace where everything is normal? That is why highschool and college is so difficult. Because our brains are able to learn all of this stuff, but it is also trying to grow and process more things than it ever has before. Which is also an acceptable reason for teenagers to be tired. I think high school should offer napping hour just like preschool. Of course I'm kidding, but it would be really nice.
That's just another reason to homeschool your kids, because every one learns better well rested, if you let your kids sleep as much as they need to, learning will not be a napping hour instead of information hour.
Basically, teenagers can be tired... and even if you think they shouldn't be... they are. we have extremely fast paced hearts, and brains, and lives. In order for all that to be ok, we need sleep. Which we don't get a lot of anyway because we like to stay up late with friends. So, some of it is our fault.. But don't tell us we aren't tired if we say we are, because you don't know that. You aren't us.

What's expected of a "normal" teenager?

I went through my entire past with people telling me that I would grow up to be really pretty, and have lots of boyfriends, and be married at age 18. As a girl, this is the norm. Well, seeing as 18 is only a short year away from me, I really can't picture myself getting married right now, and at this point in my life. Although I have no doubt that when I do get married I will be ready, it's not happening tomorrow. As a girl it is normal for people to expect you to have a boyfriend, and be dating around from 16-21. Just because this is "normal" doesn't make it right. If you want my advice on relationships just read the blog titled "When God writes a love story" it was uploaded on May 20th. But this isn't the point of this blog.
This blog is to let you know that things are expected of you that shouldn't necessarily be expected. Such as knowing what you want to do with your life when you are an adult, having a boy/girl friend, knowing what college you want to go to. etc. Not everyone knows all this stuff about themselves at age 14. And even if you have a plan at 14 it will most likely change in the future. Having an idea of what you want to do is great! But unless you're a planner like me, don't be to worried about the details. If you take me for example I have had the "details" for my wedding planned out since I was what... 11? Now, things have changed (obviously) but most of it is the same. I won't bore you with my details seeing as if you came to my wedding you wouldn't be suprised, not to mention you probably don't want to know. Anyway... I just turned 17, there is no reason that I should have my whole life planned out, even though I do. A normal teenager doesn't know! There is so much going on in our silly little lives that we have no room for planning. So please, we know it's a good thing to think about... But not everyone knows. My best friend for example has a plan... ish... type situation. She doesn't know exactly what will happen, she just wants to take things as they come, and that's perfectly fine. Not everyone has to have a plan. So you don't have to ask us what the plan is...
Lets face it. Teenagers have a bad rep. So many of us have given into their hormones in horrid ways, but not all of us have... We are unfortunately treated like we are rude, inappropriate, bad mouthing, shove offs. When really most of us aren't. Yes there are some who have no respect for elders, but it's more rare than it is common. If it looks like it's common it's because the teenagers feel like that's what is expected, so they might as well have fun doing it. This is just wrong... Honestly needs to be changed.
I think that's all for now... Thanks for reading! :)

The so called "normal"

In the title of this blog I call myself a "normal teenager". Far be it from me that I be called "normal" I really shouldn't have labeled it this way... but, in lot's of ways weird, or so called "ab-normal" is the norm. Many, many teenagers today wonder why they are different, or feel like no-one likes them. This is not true. Everyone has a friend, and really what they make out in hollywood to be "normal" is far from normal. What is the definition of "normal" compared to any teenager? "Normal"... That's a mysterious word... We don't have the right to be called "normal". If everyone was "normal" we would all be the same, and how much fun would that be? walk around everywhere and everyone looked, smelled, acted the same. If we were all immature, would that be "normal"? Or would we be irritated with everyone including ourselves? Lets face it, "normal" is unattainable, so why would we want to be normal? Why not just embrace the amazing weird person you are, and learn to love yourself? That is something we can achieve. Learning to live with the person we are and not to absolutly hate it.
So, instead of asking how you can be normal why not ask yourself "what can I do to be ab-normal"? The norm for girls is to yell at their moms, cut themselves, hate the way they look, envy other girls, and basically hate who they are. Why not change this? Why not be ab-normal? You can already tell what is better. So, why not make the change for the better. Don't be normal! It's not that hard... Don't get a tatoo when you turn 18 just because you can now, don't go to parties because you wonder what drinking and getting drunk is like, don't do what "normal" people do. Those "normal" people will want to be more and more like you if you don't want to be like them. Everyone can see which option is better, why not take it?
Thanks for reading! :) I hope you enjoyed it and aren't so worried about being normal now.
