This alliterated poem, Teenagers Today, uses up all possible T-words as you point out the times we are teens and all that entails. How did we make it out alive?

I would not wish to be a teen in this age. I'm also thankful my children are raised. You poem rightfully describes the challenges they face. And in addition to those challenges, technology advances so fast moral adaptation can not keep up.

I am impressed with the storyline and the use of rhyme to further compliment this finely crafted piece. I am sure you will do well in the competition. I know who I am voting for :-) ~DD

Hi,

Wow! Powerful work here, my friend!

And quite a salient topic. (I've often told friends, "I wouldn't opt to be a teen in today's day and age for anything!") Poor kids!

This is a great contest entry and it is very nicely done.

Nothing here needs reworking -- at least that I can see.

Thanks for sharing, and good luck in the contest!

Jan

Thank you for creating this poem. I am a high school teacher and can relate directly to your words and powerful meaning of this poem! Teenagers are certainly unique and troubling individuals that are trying to find their path through life.

Nicely written!
Tess

This was very impressive. I don't know how you were able to use alliteration through the whole thing and have it still make sense. Good job and keep up the good work.
