Pre-teens and teens in 2018 really do not know how awesome they have it. 13-year-olds are wearing Victoria's Secret push up bras and contouring. How unfair is this? What happened to the days of "RAWR" (7297), neon skinny jeans, and teased hair. It's a right-of-passage to be a cringy goth/punk kid and hate your parents. Seriously, how are you supposed to have a glow up after high school if you look like you're twenty in middle school? I don't get it. Where are your parents?

1. a feeling of deep anxiety or dread, typically an unfocused one about the human condition or the state of the world in general

Few of us can forget our angry middle school days. Personally, I'm still stuck on 2010. I love piercings and wearing all black. Now, when my eyeliner is thick and smeared, people just assume I'm hungover.
