I Am Fifteen

I am fifteen.  I don’t sneak out. I don’t think I know everything. I do not claim to be, or to ever have been, “in love”, and I do not read gossip/fashion magazines. I do not listen to “pop” music, or whatever you call that stuff they play on the radio. I build relationships in person, not online. I don’t hate school. I like to learn.  I usually act pretty rationally.

But I am fifteen.

I am indecisive and a bit naive. I procrastinate. I enjoy spending time doing pointless things, and often disagree just because I don’t want to agree. And yes, I do tend to use the word “like” quite a lot in spoken conversation. But sometimes  I say intelligent things too :) 

I am not inside your teenage box, but I am still fifteen.
