Adhering Adolescence

It is in often belief.
That we as a whole.
Are only known for a few things.
Outrageous, if were to be asked.

A flip of the hair.
A sigh to be heard.
A roll of the eyes.
Signs of a common bred teen.

Treading lightly.
As if on egg shells daily.
Bought with expensive gifts.
Constantly plugged into iPods

Pizza, soda and parties.
Coming home too late.
Wringing hands in worry.
As parents stay up all night.

Television and messy rooms.
Grief over taking out the garbage.
As if pulling teeth.
What can be done?

We are a select few.
Rising above the rest.
To give a helping hand.
Where it is needed.

We are a few.
Not common enough in society.
Rare to come by.
A gift to be sure.

A soft spoken word.
A listening ear.
We are here to please.
We are a rare raised teen.
