I am from cell phones,
From Myspace and computers.
Where I am from a teenager is texting around every corner.
I am from big sunglasses,
And kids that are never home.
I am from streets with cars filled with teenagers.
I am from backseats that are never clean.
And music that is always up too loud.

I am from dinners at Taco Bell,
And McDonalds and Wendys.
I am from the young kids
Who want to grow up too fast.
Where I am from
Kids stay out too late
Doing who knows what
With who knows who.

I’m from the mall and shopping sprees,
Parent’s credit cards.
I’m from a time where kids work all night
Just to earn some money
To have a fun life.
I‘m from the last summer before college
Saying goodbye to friends
Some will never be seen again.
Leaving home, on your own.
I’m from a time when kids move out at 18
Parents sad to see them go
But its time for them to be free.
