When we say weird, it doesn’t have to be meant in a bad or wrong way, absolutely not. I think we all notice that we live in an absolute different generation which of course has its pros and cons, but also its pros and cons are totally unique!

When we look at teenagers these days we will find how they are acting weird and living the age of big ones…of course not all of them. We are going through really hard things that adults are supposed to go through not us, we are going through really shitty things that make us live a fake age while we are TEENAGERS. We see every horrible thing in our life and never look for the good ones. Most teens these days are obsessed with specific few things…like what should I wear, what do I have to do to attract people and this thing is probably for girls but now it has been for boys too! And the bad thing is we are doing it in a terrible way. Like people do things to be called “shabah”, go in relationships and teens shouldn’t be single cause they think that being single is a shame or something, outgoings in a weird way and you understand why it’s weird, traveling, and posting the fantastic picture, how much likes and comments you get, posting stories and especially to show what they feel to their EX…there is no one focusing on their future career or their present studying and success or their relation with friends or visiting relatives or sitting with family. And all of these are the factors that make us a weird generation.

We are asking for everything to be alright, perfect and well done while we are very far from the one who can always help…ALLAH, there are very few people these days who’re close to Allah and living peacefully. We are forgetting the one who is the only one who can help, love, listen, forgive, take, give , solve and complicate…we aren’t looking forward we are getting destroyed from things we are seeing. Unfortunately, we are forgetting the gifts we own, when we are depressed it’s almost about a thing that is very small. We see people who are better than us and not seeing that we are much better from a lot of people…why??? Why don’t we live happy, why don’t we believe in ourselves, why don’t we trust god and have faith in him, why don’t we love truly, why do we cheat, why do we disappoint each other, why don’t we be a trustworthy generation, why don’t we try and fail and try over and over again until we succeed, why aren’t we running after our dreams until we reach it, why do we get depressed so easily while we own everything.

Everything? Yeah, we have the most technological generation, we have plenty of different friends which we can gain experiences from, we have the variety of activities and crazy things to do, we have a lot of options in everything, we have hearts and brains to help us, we have talents to discover and the factors are available in this unique time of life, we have everything but we aren’t noticing that and not living the beautiful age we are in. If we are honest with ourselves before we are with people, if we love ourselves before loving people, if we are positive, if we accept and if we look to the world brightly it will shine in your eyes and you will live extremely happy.

We have to do what we love to do it superbly and maintain happiness. We don’t have to close all the doors but we have to open and enter all of them. We own the chance to solve things and making our lives better.
