Sad thoughts of a teenager

I hate stupid movies and tv shows that are all lovely dovey and end in happy endings! That never happens in real life. When things are going good, there is always something to mess it up, always. Nothing will ever be good forever. I used to try to look for a brightside in everything but lately that has just been so hard to do. This may sound like just another teen rant about how our lives are so horrible, and I mean I guess it kind of is, but this one has a different message. How come everything can't just work out right for once. Why can't the boy just like the girl, and vise versa, and it be as simple as that. Why do those good relationships always end?
Dear Happy Endings, how about you start happening in real life.
Shit.

Why Teenagers fall into the pressures of Alcohol?

About a year ago, when someone would tell me they tried beer, I would think they fell into peer pressure and could not handle themselves well. Over the summer everything changed for me. I started hanging out with kids who do all that "bad stuff" and I got a completely different view on everything. The first time I was around them drinking I really tried to imagine why they wanted to do this so bad. None of them were pressuring each other to do it. They just did it because they liked how it made them feel. I was never pressured to try some drinks. My friends did not care if I did it or didn't. Back to my original question, why did they like doing this so much. It made me extremely curious. Of course peer pressure is a major reason why teens drink but i think curiosity is actually a better explanation. Especially in my case. I looked online, does alcohol make you feel good and happy? I got nothing besides yahoo answers. I only heard good feedback from my friends and annoying health facts from school that I do not care about. I think if I was less curious, I wouldn't be thinking about trying it. If parents and teachers told me it makes you happy I would just think ok a lot of things make me happy so i could just keep doing that. So I am not saying people should go around promoting how great alcohol is, I just simply want to know how it does make you feel great. And i do not want people saying I try it because of peer pressure anymore because that annoys me. haha

Life on the other side.

So today I had a conversation with my parents. It consisted of the topic of parents who constantly travel for work. My mom stated that if she kept her old job, she would never be home. Ahhh, such a teenager's dream. As i was sitting there, letting my thoughts overcome what my mom kept on talking about, I imagined all the incredible possibilities. Teenagers love freedom. Do not get me wrong, my mom and I get along just fine but sometimes I need my space! Whenever my mom and dad are gone for just a night, I feel a feeling of independence, capability, and extreme delight. I kind of feel on top of the world. The reason for this, most likely, is that I do not have someone hovering over me, watching every thing I do. I can go crazy and there is no one around to watch me and ruin whatever I want to do! I do not want my parents to be gone to do "bad things", just to have a little change of pace and fun? Anyway, I went back to listening what my mom was saying and she said, "I think it would be fun to travel but I think it would be more fun to be with my kids and see them play their sports or help them with homework." Is that a joke? haha
