Negativity doesn't exist- it isn't a law, or a rule. In fact, Negativity is such an underrated word. Its brother, positivity, isn't real either. Negativity has already been harassed as a word and been given meanings it doesn't deserve, because, as I said, negativity doesn't exist. Negativity is reality.
Example: You're in a sports game, it can be any sport. You're a tiny insignificant kid like me and you're playing against massive men who look
like The
Rock. Thinking positively,
like those foolish optimists, will only made the pounding you are about to get more painful. Thinking, "I am gonna lose and get my ass
whipped" will be considered negative thinking, but once again, negativity is reality.
Thinking realistically is going to get you more far than positivity will ever get you. Negativity is already considered a
bad thing, when all it is is something else. Now, of course you've never heard this. I bet more than anything you're a
teenager, like me, and us teenagers should know that this optimistic
bullshit is, well,
bullshit. Adults don't tell kids and teenagers that only because adults don't accept the truth. Sure, they want to "protect" their kids, and I understand for children, but teenagers deserve knowing the Truth. Teenagers spend their childhood following the steps of their surroundings, their friends, their family. For most, their childhood is spent obediently doing everything that your
parents say.
Once we become teenagers, despite what every adult in existence says, we see the world more openly. We want to go down our own path. We become more independent. We want to explore the world in all its glory. But unfortunately, it doesn't work that way, which is why positivity doesn'
t exist. The world doesn't work that way. That's why positivity doesn't exist.
And for the moms reading this, go ahead, dislike this
definition, and keep denying the
truth. Denying that
truth will only make you live with a weight on your shoulders that will crush you and make you live with regret. Living in that kind of denial is worse than what the foolish optimists say living "negatively" is.
So when we go through our teenage years, we are exposed to this reality, because we can see it. Because us teenagers think realistically, we are seen as monsters. A species of
human, ungrateful brats, and pessimistic are just some of the names I've heard teens being called. Surprisingly, the teen years are where we are supposed to be thinking the most positively towards life, but our
parents make it hard. Mind you, I'm not criticizing
parents or their tactics. In fact, they aren't doing it on purpose, it's just that some of the things they do makes teenagers more depressed, and they just don't see that.
Parents still see their teenagers as the little angels we were when we were little, clueless, doing everything their
parents say, becoming robots.
