To a teenagerGrowing up, doesn`t it just suck,

It seems to be full of constant bad luck.

Zits, bad hair days and putting on weight,

So many reasons for your self-hate.

But hey, you`re alive, you`re unique, you`re so cool,

Be true to yourself; forget all your faults,

And you soon be thinking much happier thoughts.

Live life to the max and paint your town red,

Who cares what people think and what they`ve said?

Don’t let them win and let you feel bad,

`Cause people like that are really quite sad.

So, enjoy your teens and have some fun,

Your life has only just begun!

(after Lauren Romford)

Problems with your appearance;
