We do it

because it amuses us.
This is our generation's excuse. We messed up. We know. Our parents have destroyed the planet, and we destroyed society. Adolesence get the blame for everything, don't we?
'Oh, don't go over there, there's a gang of youths wearing hoodies and smoking! Well I'll tell you a fact. I am young, i posses a hooded top, and i smoke ciggarettes. I do not, however, carry a 'shank', or call people 'bruv'. I amuse myself by taking the piss out of people that do, so by stereotyping me as one of those is not only insulting, but amusing. I hate that most of our parents were around with the hippie movement, where they would rebel against everything their parents stood for, they would rebel against fashion and create their own style, pierce themselves and smoke weed until their eyes glazed over, but if i say i want a glass of vodka and coke, suddenly i'm a 'typical adolescent,' and I would want alchohal, because 'every youth is drinking nowadays' well no, I'm just trying to fit in. A party yes, contains boys, sex, drugs, alchohal, but it doesn't mean i'm going to do all of them at once, does it? According to my parents, yes. Yes i would. My paren'ts think having ones ears pierced or God forbid their navel pierced is dirty, horrible, and tattoos are unholy. They seem to think that wanting to go to a party means that suddenly i want to have unkept scruffy hair, piercings covering my face, sex with 50 year old men and to smoke weed until i die. No! I want to dance, meet a boy, have a drink, and have a laugh.
I hate how our generation has become the murderous, stereotyped, hated generation yet. The hippie movement is now reminisced at lovely, a fun time, a time for all to smile about. But it was a time that sex, drugs and rock and roll was invented. Our parents rave about inventing these, but when their children, us, put it into practice, suddenly it's unholy and stupid and wrong. And we are chastisised. So what, we're not allowed to rebel or have true emotion because you've already done it?
Also, are we not allowed to fall in love? The other week, (bringing some personals into this) I brought a new boyfriend home. Suddenly i was 'crazy in love' and i was 'bound to hurt him, or get hurt' and 'everything will go wrong soon!' Well of course, but i'm having fun. I'm not in love, because apparently 'youths don't know what love is' .. love has no age, in my opinion. To be in love is different, but I am allowed to say 'i love you' without meaning, 'i am in love with you.'
My ending point is this, parents seem to think they know it all, and when we think we are intelligent, we are wrong, apparently. My parents tell me I am not streetwise, and that i should not be allowed out after dark, because they are smarter than me and know what's best for me. They do not know how to get a bus to orpington.
I rest my case.

p.s there are loads of typos, i'm tired.
