So for some reason I never truly realized the impact of a person on people and teenagers. A couple days ago I went to see John Green speak in a really overcrowded mall. This man wrote a story about two cancer teens and it really impacted me. But it all has really impacted probably about a million people. How does 335 pages do that? (total guestimation). But really. I mean John Green, he is one hell of a writer. I felt as if I was put into that story. I think, its it is his honesty and authenticity in his story telling. No teenagers are not people who "just dont understand the world yet", "invincible", "stupid", or "dont get it." They are smart, funny, and probably know a whole hell a lot about the world than you. I mean "technically" I am not a teenager anymore. However, I am close enough. I just feel they are so underestimated anymore and the reason why John Green books are so painstakingly good and better than many others is because HE GETS IT. WE are super smart, funny, and sarcastic people. How do adults forget that so easily? I mean I can see i guess how through the push of realistic items shoved down throats of people from such a young age.I.E you are 18 years old and it is time to make the decision of what you are going to be in your life. (How refreshing.) So no teenagers aren't going to know how to balance a check book but they can tell you more about that phone your holding and about their favorite author in seconds. They thrive for new ideas and get their heartbroken in the worst ways because getting your heart broken young is just fucking awful. And NEWSFLASH just because a young person doesn't have it all figured out it really okay because I am pretty sure no one on this world knows what the hell they are doing. And people need to accept that, that is truly and whole heartily fine. Just dont judge others for not knowing as well. And take a step back. The pressure put on teens today is at an all time high. Not only is college basically a requirement but molds we are creating for them are not idealistic. Its like telling a circle it is a square, it just doesn't work. So, this is basically just a ramble and me talking inside my head and putting it on a screen so I can read it back to myself. 
Well all that I DO know is that John Green needs to keep on keeping on.
