The Unconventional Teen

Have you ever felt like you don't belong in each and every situation that life throws at you? You are frazzled by socializing but you also can't stand being isolated. You feel overwhelmed by the "socialites and cool kid" but you are also too loud for the wallflowers and can never find middle ground. You quietly cringe when your acquaintances,  I wouldn't call them friends, boast about their weekend endeavours as you think back to what you did during yours. You spent it holed up in your room and if you are like me you most probably were listening to questionable music and reading everything else besides you school texts.
 Do you feel like most people your age have their sh*t together, or at least are not contemplating their entire existence? You daydream more than you would like to, and your thoughts and weird ideas keep you up at night. You are constantly tired without even doing much work. Your brain is fatigued so half the time you zone out but you don't know it.

If this relates to you, like me, you're  are what I like to call "The Unconventional Teen" If you are just realising your identity, I say welcome to the club. It's about to be quite the ride.....

  1. I can relate to this on another level. This is so close to home. Finally someone has found the words to describe the abstract feeling of being "The Unconventional Teen"

  2. I rarely feel like the cool kid but I'm happy being a nerd! I definitely relate to everything you said. It's really hard to feel like everyone around you has it all together. Thanks for stopping by TeensGotCents! Best of luck with your blog! :)
