Never Enough Time

I woke up this morning with a fever and a pile of homework menacingly glaring at me from my floor. The only thing worse than being a teenager and being sick is being a teenager and not having time to be sick. I had to skip church in order to do the homework I knew would probably take twice the time it would normally take me, and won't be able to see my boyfriend tonight because I don't want him catching whatever bug I have. I'm so overwhelmed with the amount of...everything that I'll have to deal with today. And of course, tomorrow is Monday.

Here's the thing..

Being a teenager sucks.

Whether it's a relationship that seems to take up so much of your time, endless piles of schoolwork, sports after school that seem to somehow make the homework load even more endless, a family that likes to yell at you fro every room in the house, or a constantly changing set of plans that may be starting to give you whiplash, throw in being a bilingual French and English speaker in a country not so friendly to immigrants, and you've got yourself a real case of teenage angst.

Especially when a midst everything, that teenager has no idea who she is or what she'll ever do with her life.
