(I'm not sure who wrote this big paragraph, but I found it on a website and copy and pasted it!)
Our generation is depressed because we were born in a world of knowledge, and we have knowledge of the fact that were basically being fucked up our own asses. Our generation has to deal with a dying planet and a dying social structure. We don’t have parents who can take care of us, or food with the proper nourishment. We’ve had advertisements, fast food, and big businesses dicks down our throats for our entire existence! All our parents are divorced or drunk, all our schools are filled with violence and a failing educational system that barely educates in the first place. When were not trying to get homework done, studying, filling out college apps, working part time jobs, were glued to our fucking TV’s because were so exhausted and drained from the latter! We don’t have a vibrant culture or amazing new things to experience. We need something, we look it up on fucking Wikipedia and then go on with our day. Like fuck, do you know how rare it is to actually find a teenager with a damn hobby? If our generation is gonna go down in history for anything, it’s gonna be for shit music, unoriginality, and boredom. Were not truly guided by any one. No one is giving us the proper life tools other than “Do good in school and buy this brand of jeans”. The worst part is a lot of us know what’s going on, but we just can’t do anything about it. That’s the heart of the matter. We can’t do anything about it. There’s no fear of the unknown, there’s no new things to experience because we’ve already been told everything we need to know by watching the goddamn MTV news. We don’t have role models, we don’t have substance, we don’t even have both our parents half the fucking time. We can’t think, we can’t create, we can’t even be ourselves because of fear of persecution. “If it doesn’t fit into the narrow ideals of the education system and work force it has no place in society” which is essentially what you’re telling us and that’s basically saying WE don’t fit in. When were not being told were too fat, too tall, too short, too thin, too outgoing, too shy, too dark or even too happy were told by YOUR generation that were not good enough. Were judged, berated, humiliated, undermined, and just plain patronized. OUR GENERATION IS DEPRESSED BECAUSE WERE TOO TIRED OF TRYING TO FIT INTO A WORLD CREATED BY THE GENERATION BEFORE US! And we are fucking DONE trying to “fit in”.

Quotes:

"Never explain yourself. Your friends don't need it, and your enemies won't believe it."

"I can't tell if it's killing me or making me stronger."

"The way I see it is the more people that hate me, the less I have to get along with."

"I'm done. Get it? You pushed me just a little bit too far this time. If your motive was to make me feel ugly and unloved, you succeeded. Do you want a prize? A prize awarding you for completely tearing me apart, completely destroying me."

"I think she did what she had to do to find happiness."

"I began to draw an invisible boundary between myself and other people. No matter who I was dealing with. I maintained a set distance, carefully monitoring the persons attitude so that they wouldn't get any closer. I didn't easily swallow what other people told me. My only passions were books and music."

"I'm homesick for a place that doesn't exist."

"It's the music that pulls me in and makes me forget about my problems at home. Music is my drug, the one thing that makes me numb."

"Words can't kill, but they fucking hurt."

"I was desperate to just start fresh, just be a face in the crowd, where no one knew me. Sometimes we just need that."

"Okay, so I can't take a compliment, I get mad way to easy and tend to talk down about myself. I cry over little things, and I let what people say get to me. I paint my nails obnoxious colors, and I where flip flops in the cold. I'm stubborn, annoying, and I'll probably piss you off. But give me a chance, I've been through a lot."

"Oh boo hoo, you have a sob story. We all have a sob story. Don't think you're so special or different just cause you're hurting. Cause here's a secret, we're all hurting."

"I have come to accept myself for what I am: human. I am not perfect. I am not immune to fate, but I am not automatically doomed for being alive. I feel temptations every second of every day and I am not controlled by them. I do what I want anyway, so who is to say I want anything else? When I want, I let these peculiarities run across me like dogs to their masters. When I do not, I keep them at bay with my will and my testimony. I do not cut myself off from what makes me feel; I just refuse to feel anything that cuts me off from what matters most. It is called will power. With a little practice, you can accomplish great things."

"If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em. If ya can't join 'em, bribe 'em. If ya can't bribe 'em, blackmail 'em. If ya can't blackmail 'em, kill 'em. If ya can't kill 'em, you're screwed."

"A downward spiral has to have a rock bottom."

"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change."
