Always Wrong, Never Right

Yes, I am a teenager
I must always be up to no good
I do everything wrong
But really I’m misunderstood.

Yes, I am a teenager
I’m as lazy as my dad during Sunday football
Chores? Don’t know what those are

There are many things that you don’t see
I am more than just a teen
I may still have some growing up to do
But I like to live, laugh, and learn just as much as you
My age is nothing more than a number
Seventeen seems small, but I will do big things.

Groan, giggle, that’s all we like to do
Old and young, we see the world in different ways
In the end we are all just the same
Yes, I am a teenager

I really liked this because it's taking what teenagers are known for, and justifying it. Very realistic, keep it up
