The
UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF A TEENAGER’S IMAGE IN MCFARLAND, WISCONSIN
When in
the course of growing up, it becomes necessary for one to mature and to
dissolve the irresponsible ways which have become consistent throughout the
years of adolescence, and to recognize, among the Powers of the Elders in one’s
life, the separate and equal rules to which the Laws of Society and Nature of
one’s instinct entitle them a decent respect to the opinions of a teenager, which requires
that they all should declare the causes which impel them to this separation.
We hold
these truths to be self-evident, that all teenagers develop into their own
person, that they are overwhelmed by their Elders with certain excessive
expectations, and that among these are free will, freedom of expression, and freedom
of speech. That, to secure these rights,
Elders are instituted among teenagers, to provide an example, eliminating their
just images from the consent of the matured. That, whenever any Form of Opinion
becomes irrational of these ends, it is the Right of the Teenagers to alter or
to abolish it, and to replace new it with a new, bettered Opinion, focusing its foundation on such
Principles and reinforcing the values of being an Individual, which most likely
effect their developing personality through their transition from adolescence to adulthood. The history of judgmental elders has
repeatedly provided teenagers with scars, mentally and physically, all having to do
directly because of these Elders. To prove these teenagers cannot develop fully
into their own person, let Facts be submitted to a stereotypical world.
They are too careful, even from day one.
They
refuse to trust teenagers.
They
forbid teenagers to stay out late due to their lack of trust.
They
believe all teenagers have a bad side.
They
suppose all teenagers will rebel.
They
have called together other groups of Elders to form large groups that “watch”
over us teenagers.
They
provide absurd rules ( i.e. No yelling when you are mad).
They do
not consider the age of 18 to be an adult.
They
have banned junk food.
They
have judged based on the former misbehaved teenagers.
They
have falsely accused many teenagers just because of their age.
They
have affected creating individuality because of the strict opinions they obtain.
They
have prevented relationships thinking we all will end up with children at this
age.
They
have unacknowledged teenage successes, thinking it will lead to a mistake.
They
along with many other Elders, in all areas of the United States, not just Wisconsin,
have combined to subject us to a unequal chance of developing individually to
our own person, and have pretended not to do wrong or offend us, while doing
so.
For
taking away our Nintendo when we said one, tiny curse word.
For scolding us when we do not eat all of our green beans.
For
signing us up for ridiculous amounts of extracurricular activities without our
consent.
For
enabling us to the use of brain-washing social medias, like cellphones,
twitter, and Facebook.
For
isolating our lives from reality.
For
abolishing our childhood too quickly, hiding Barbie’s, coloring books, Elmo…etc.
For
withholding the fun in our lives, and declaring that too much can ruin our
lives.
We, therefore, the teenagers of the United
States of America, in GENERAL TEENAGER’S MINDS came together, appealing to the
rude opinions of the Elders of the World for the rectitude of our intentions,
DO, in the Name, and by the Authority of the well-behaved teenagers of the United States,
solemnly PUBLISH and DECLARE, That these teenagers, and of Right, ought to be
free from these Opinions and able to develop into his or her own person; that
they are excused from all Critiques of the American Elders, and that all of
these pre-existing opinions are destroyed; and that, as FREE AND INDIVIDUAL
PEOPLE they have full power to express themselves. AND for the support of this
Declaration, we mutually pledge to each other to stand up for what is right,
for our creativity, our individuality, and our freedom.
Eva Radomski,
President
Nice work Eva! Your long list of reasoning on why elders should be banned from judging teenagers was very well-thought out and creative! My favorite part of your post was when you stated, "Let Facts be submitted to a stereotypical world." I would have to agree with you that our world is a pretty gosh darn stereotypical place. Good work!
