Message to Teens

Dear Child,

Please don't try to grow up so fast

I know you get into your teens and think you're all that

And when your parents yell at you, you just want to yell back,

But take a breath, take a breather

You know, I'm a firm believer

We're still children in our teens.

We can't always get it

We don't want to believe it,

But hey, maybe they're right

Maybe what they know is out of our sight

Maybe what they do

Is for the good of you.

Acting like a teen is pretending to be an adult when you're still a child.

Well if you want to be an adult stop acting wild.

Make sense out of sensibility.

Don't talk, take responsibility.

They were once you

So take that point of view.

One day, you will be the adult

It'll be your turn to talk

Don't insult your kids when you find similar results.

People are nowhere close to perfect

But loving them is totally worth it.

Let's show some respect to those in authority

Cause as we get older we'll be the minority.

That's all I got to say

Though I could say more

Tell your parents you love them

And just be a child.
