Smile Re: The Truth About Teens

Ok...this is what I find interesting about this thread. A lot of people seem to identify with the idea that they (we ) are misunderstood by the general population. Well, the truth is, no one really knows us. I mean NOBODY. We don't even completely know ourselves. This is because, unless you believe in God (and maybe even if you do), nothing is absolute. I don't mean to bring religion into it, but, what I mean is, everyone has their own perspective. And unleess you belive that some higher power is looking down and seeing the REAL TRUTH, then who is to say what the real truth is?

In other words, everyone sees us from a certain subjective angle. If you don't get high in math class, your math teacher might see you as straight-edged. On the other hand, your smokin' buddies might think you are a pot-head who can't add or subtract... Your dad might think you have an aptitude for math while your mother might think you are bad with numbers. And the fact is, they are all right... unless you believe there is an absolute truth.

(I say nothing is absolute because unless you believe in a higher power that knows what the REAL truth is), the fact is that there are thousands of truths. We all see little snippets of the people around us and we form an opinion. Who knows what is TRUTH? We have our own truths. One person finds you sexy..another thinks you are ugly...what is the truth?

I say, be sexy. Make your own truth. But don't expect that the world will believe it just beacause you do...
