It would almost seem like every person you passed would be silently judging you for what you’re wearing, how you applied your makeup, how you did in the last soccer game, or what they heard you did with Jonny. The passerby’s in the hallway would place you on the high-school-hierarchy-of-coolness scale based on superficial characteristics even before getting to know you. Adolescence is a time of learning and forming an identity but it’s also a time where you are constantly being watched and evaluated by your peers, sometimes even put down by physical or verbal means.

Rather than hurting with the truth, our society airs on the side of comforting with lies; instead of crushing dreams, we encourage unrealistic expectations. Whereas ten years ago, young people would get a job at 16 and work to earn enough money to buy a car, now many young people expect a car for their sixteenth birthday, just because.

The reality is, almost all of those faces are concealing suffering that's consuming them.
