Stereotype.

I want to be a stereotype breaker. I don't want to fit the description 97% of adults label teenagers with. See, here's the thing...

Not every teenager hates their parents

Or thinks they are stupid

Or is on drugs

Or is obsessed with drinking and sex.

Not every teenager thinks they are invincible

Or is careless about how they handle themselves

Or is lazy

Or has no work ethic.

Not every teenager is confused about who they are

Or doesn't know what they want to become

Or has no self esteem

Or is always looking for ways to act out.

Not every teenager listens to loud, obnoxious music

Or is uncultured

Or doesn't pay attention

Or expects to always be entertained

Not every teenager skips out on church for the world

Or doesn't pray and witness

Or forgets about God.

Not every teenager fits the 'every teenager' we've created.

I'm tired of being grouped in with everything that people assume teenagers are. I want to make the best of my life... my whole life. Including my teenage years. I want to look back on them with no regrets. I want to do hard things, accomplish big ideas, and reach for the sky. The thing is... being a teenager means that I still have my whole life in front of me. I still have time to dream big dreams, wish on stars, learn from mistakes, and become who I'm meant to be. I don't want to waste this time. I want to be a stereotype breaker.

Love,
