Being a teenager in a world that hates teenagers is so damn difficult. I'll tell you what's sad about it:

1. You're neither a child & nor are you an adult. When your relatives are over you can neither sit with them & drink & nor can you play with little nonsense babbling, drooling, wailing, idiotic toddlers. 

2. You're a stereotypical teenager for everybody. Sulky with mood swings. And your relatives are going "Oh it's all normal at this age." WTF is this age? & people who may be just a year or two older to you will be saying, "Oh, please don't have your usual teenage drama queen episode."

3. You are always, I mean ALWAYS asked about your studies & why you are not concentrating. There are always two responses to your mother's constant rambling about you not studying. 

a) "Arre, nahi, dimaag hai bachi mein, kar legi, jab tym hoga tab kar legi." ( Literal translation: Oh,no, she has brains, she will do it whne time comes. Figurative translation: My daughter's way brainier, poor woman needs sympathy.)

b)" No, beta, you should. Agar ab nahi karoge toh poori zindagi rona padega."(Literal translation: No, child you should. If you don't study now you'll have to cry your enter life. Figurative translation: I don't want her to be the first failure in the family!")

4. Not to mention, the uncontrollable mood swings. Where you're listening to 'Meet me on the equinox' and you're crying along to "everything ends" again & again. And body image issues, you might be placed on a special scale where everything is measured on how non-existent you are but you're still too fat.

5. Everything you do or say is considered a rebellion. You wear black, you're attractin evil. You're wearing something short, you're into boys. Who the hell gets dressed for men? I get dressed only for the girls, because they know how to appreciate good dressing.

6. Your sense of music will be bad at the first go. "My God, what the hell is this rubbish?!" your mother will scream. The next day, she's dancing to it & saying "What is this song? I love it! You should listen to this!"

Well this is all I can think of for now. In short, being a teen is a fucking difficult thing. & trust me this list hasn't even started.

(P.S. Quick Gun Murugun wasn't as good as I thought it would be. My mother baked a cake, it's delicious. My father fought with me over why I didn't share a chocolate with my brother. C'est La Vie.)
