When I was a teen I was dubbed as a "troubled teen" bad grades, stress, low self esteem etc, which was from many factors.

But and as funny as it may seem most of the answer can be solved by making people understand how the teens feel and create some awareness, and make people aware of some of the difficulties to be a teen in this day and age, so it inspired me, I am currently in the making of creating a powerpoint to catch the perspective from someone who has been through that junk, and I found the perfect song

"Welcome To My Life"

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like (what it's like)

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life




Not the biggest deal, but I figure maybe I can prevent a few teens from having the teenage years I had by teaching and making a few aware just what its like. I'll keep you guys updatd on how its going

It saddens me to see teens the way they are today, and what bugs me the most is the mentality people have towards it, you know "out of sight out of mind" maybe if someone ever bothered listening when nobody else did things could change a bit.

"Out of Sight Out of Mind" is a great tune.

Anthrax Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind lyrics

You've got nothing to say
We can't hear you anyway
Your unconscious, wake up
Smell the coffee, catch the next bus
You don't hear it, not there
Haven't seen it anywhere
Ignorance is bliss
Before you did we exist
Don't even think about anything
Don't even think about anything
Tell me something I don't know
How'd you get this job you own
I think that..
All you need is a, all you need is a,
All you need is a, all you need is a face!
Out of sight, out of mind
It was yours but now it's mine
Take a riff, take a line
Out of sight, out of mind
Don't even think about anything
Out of sight, out of mind
You can't see but you're not blind
What's your purpose, in life
What the hell gives you the right to
Take what's been done, before
Change the name and make it yours, Oh
Yes you made your statement
do you have to be so blatant
You're so conscious, image
With a gun you'd do no damage
don't even think about anything
Don't even think about anything
Tell me something I don't know
How'd you get this job you won
I think that...
All you need is a, all you need is a
All you need is a, all you need is a face!
Out of sight, out of mind
It was yours but now it's mine
Take a riff, take a line
Our of sight, out of mind
Don't even think about anything
Out of sight, out of mind
You can't see but you're not blind
Stupid, dumb, idiot, moron, you really make me sick
Take your head out from up your ass
Right here, right now but it won't last
No it won't
Out of sight, out of mind
It was your but now it's mine
Take a riff, take a line
Out of sight, out of mind
Stupid , dumb, idiot, moron
Out of sight, out of mind
You can't see but you're not blind

Yeah you guys are right, teenagers do tend to get overlooked or are labelled off as being emos.

Had to bump this.

CK9, how about Safe Home.

Ive been down this road once or twice before
Through the open door
I come falling through it
Theres a sign post up ahead
Like a watershed
And it opens my eyes
Ways, for me to begin
To be born again
And knowing for the first time
Ways, all so differently
Shine for me to see
The better man that I am

Ive been places in my head
Behind me worse than whats ahead
And on my path just like a dream
Takes me from the inbetween
From out of nowhere you came strong as stone
And now Ill never have to be alone
What it is I know

You have always been my safe home
I walk, I run, I burn out into you
You have always been my safe home
My whole world has moved on

I know what I am and Ill always be
Your reality, is better than I could dream
All my fears turn from black to white
And Id stand and fight
The whole world for you
Faith, and destiny
I never did believe
My only God is love and
Faith, what I see in you
And I can hold it true
Like a weight in my hand

My contribution, Black Sabbath, "Paranoid"
This is one of those songs, though, that the music and beat say as much about how it feels as the lyrics.

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
people think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time

All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me?
Occupy my brain?
oh yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now how of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late

One of those songs that strikes a chord with me is Mariah Careys Close my eyes.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im03sK_CmIY&feature=related


Close My Eyes lyrics
I was wayward child
With the weight of the world
That I held deep inside
Life was a winding road
And I learned many things
Little ones shouldn't know

[Chorus:]
But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time's rolled by
Still feel like a child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up
A little too soon

Funny how one can learn
To grow numb to the madness
And block it away
I left the worst unsaid
Let it all dissipate
And I try to forget

[Chorus]

Nearing the edge
Obvious I almost
Fell right over
A part of me
Will never be quite able
To feel stable
That woman-child falling inside
Was on the verge of fading
Thankfully I
Woke up in time

Guardian angel I
Sail away on an ocean
With you by my side
Orange clouds roll by
They burn into your image
And you're still alive
(You're always alive)



Kelly Clarksons Becuse of You is another song that emulates parts of my childhood too.
