I feel the same way Sarah does in her poem “Just Listen.” She asks, “Why won’t people listen to the things I have to say? Just because I’m a minor do you have to walk away?”
I agree; because we’re teens doesn’t mean we don’t have thoughts, feelings and opinions to share. Give us a chance! For those of you who walk away, stop and listen for once. We might have something really important to say.
This piece has been published in Teen Ink’s monthly print magazine.
