Life Of A Teenager

   It's not the easiest thing in the world, you have so many expectations from everyone around you. You are expected different things from everyone, your parents want you to succeed in life and do your best, your teachers just want you to pass so they dont have to teach you again, then there's your social life. That's the hardest part about being a teenager. You can't just be average or you will get made fun of, you can't be really smart and care about your grades all the time or you will get called names and be known as the nerd, if a teacher likes you, you get called a teachers pet, if you don't do certain things that people do or tell you to do you also get made fun of. Either way anything you say or do people will talk about you, especailly if you are a girl. Being a teenager comes with high school, well when you are in high school and your a girl good luck! There is A LOT of back stabbing, talking behind each others back, and lots of people de-friending each other. When your a guy in high school it's pretty easy, people don't really talk behind your back, no back stabbing and your friends with everyone. If you have a problem with someone and your a dude all you have to do is confront them and fight, then after that you two are best buddies, with girls it's the complete opposite. If you confront a girl and set them straight it just causes world war two and other people get involved. Also in high school there's so much dating issues, like I like him so you can't like,date or even talk to him. Or he dumped me so I hate him and that means you should hate him as well if not, were not friends. In high school if you date someone younger you get made fun of, if you date someone older or two years older you get labelled a certain name. Guys also have it easy with that because they can date whoever they want and nothing will happen. Being a teenager also comes with trying to find out what you want to be when your older and you have so much pressure from everyone. You have to make sure you please your parents. If you do one little thing wrong,talk back,give any kind of attitude or don't do as they say you get a huge lecture about life and "You have everything so good, count your blessings"speech. Apparently I must do something wrong all the time because I hear that speech all the time. Being a teenager also sucks because it comes with this thing called puberty. It's when your body changes! It's horrible! I like being at this age age right now even though it comes with all of that. You start earning more trust and lot's more freedom with your parents and teachers. At the same time you are becoming a young adlut so you have more responsibilities. There's a lot about being a teenager, lot's of pros and cons and here I have told you some.

Always Check To See If Your Windows Are Shut.

It all started when the upstairs window was open...
 
    We just moved into this big red old house on the 9th street, next to this abanded school. I was so excited to finally have a new start for once. It was just me,my dad, and my little bother moving into this house after what happend with my mom. My brother is 5 years old, he never knew what actually happened to our mom, he just thinks she passed away after giving birth to him but in reality that wasn't the case and far from the truth...


    It's almost been a week, lifes good. At first I was very unsure of this small town, I just got a bad feeling with everyone starring at you, knowing  everything about you. I have school in two days and I am very nervous from what happened last time when I had school, I dont remember the good things that came with school,just the bad. I hope this year will be different. First day of school, being called names and rude glares because when you are the new kid automatically you have hatred. Why does my brother Malcolm have life so easy, he gets whatever he wants whenever he wants, no name calling or weird stares nothing bad could ever happen to him, and so I thought...


    It's been a month when weird things have started to happen but not just in my house. Things have gone missing, Malcolm kept on getting sick, people have gone missing and the police have no leads. One night at 1 in the morning I woke up to the sound of foot steps coming from one of the bedrooms, and it almost sounded like 5 people walking up and down the hall dragging something behind them. I was curious, but scared, everyone was sleeping and I couldn't wake them up, so it was just me. I went to see what that noise was, to this day I still regret it.


 Eight months later, I'm still in the hospital with my foster family. People keep asking what happened that night and I always say the same thing " The only thing I remember from that night was 5 dark human shadows, which one of them looked like my mother, carrying something sharp, and they were all standing by the open upstairs window."
