This rant is a very long time coming.
Secretly, (and sometimes not secretly) millions of teenage youth wish that they were born at least a decade before they even existed. Many teens that I know want to live in the 1980s, and honestly, the way the world is today, I really don't blame them at all.
Because, in my short, twenty year existence; especially throughout my teenage years, I have seen the worst that this modern society has to offer. The world today in 2013 is NOT an ideal place to be. This society is dark, cruel and nigh-hopeless. I have seen the quality of pretty much everything in the world go downhill. TV, music, films, the media in general.....and yet I dive deeper and deeper, dreading to see what is at the bottom. This society is filled with lies and deception, yet so many people are unwilling to open their minds and hearts and they believe what is told to them.
Kind-hearted people are treated with ridicule and disrespect, while douchebags are honored. Love and passion has become a taboo while hatred is respected. Nowadays, a rapist or murderer can easily cheat the criminal justice system and walk off scot-free. Meanwhile, someone drinking a beer before 21 gets treated like he took out a gun and shot someone in cold blood.
It might seem absolutley hopeless, but there is still one more card to play. This generation has the power to break through the shackles and change the world for the better. They have the power to look past all of the fake bullshit that haunts todays society and become better people. To me, it seems like only time will tell if someone will have the balls to open their mouth and say "something has to change". Will I be the person? Only time will tell.....
