Teenage Life
As an English assignment I was told to record a speech of one of my 'pet peeves'. It was only to be 5 minutes long and have three main points. This discouraged me a great deal as if you take any one of my 'pet peeves' and I could rant for at least a half an hour on each, if not more. Much less I was not about to change my way of speaking in complete and absolute monotone just to sound more enthusiastic as suggested. I am not an enthusiastic person, it's just not going to happen. After posting the speech here I got so many positive responses to it I have decided to keep it up rather then take it down even though I personally have outgrown it, seeing as I am no longer a teenager.
Good evening dear audience. As you all know I am here to discuss one of the most irksome aspects of the society in which I live in. I have come to talk to this adoring audience about a light-hearted and sometime humorous topic of the typical teen-age stereo-type as the announcer has already told you.
Now I’d like to start out my little speech by telling you all that I am a people watcher. All my life from the time I was barely able to talk until now I have always preferred to watch the people around me rather then actually participating in any of their activities. It is because of this that I am so bold in pointing out all that bothers me about my teen-age peers.
One of the most prominent issues brought up by this people watching is the fact that teen-agers like for some reason to sound unintelligent and unsophisticated. Whatever they say does the opposite of command respect. For instance if I hear one more person use the catch phrase “whazzup” or use the word “like” 30 times in one sentence I just may be tempted to do or say something terribly rash.
I admit I was never the typical teen or the typical girl for that matter. And there are a few reasons for this but mainly I just see the life of a teen-age girl pointless, utterly exhausting and quite frankly lame. Back to the topic
