It's Tough To Be a Teenager

It's tough to be a teenager, no one really knows
What the pressure is like in school, this is how it goes

I wake up every morning and stare into this face
I wanna be good lookin', but I feel like a discrace.

My friends they seem to like me, If I follow through with their dare,
BUt when I try to be myself, they never seem to care.

My mom, well she keeps saying, I gotta make the grade
While both my parents love me, it slowly seems to fade.

It seems everyone I know is trying to be so cool
And every time I try, I end up just a fool.

I've thought about taking drugs, I really don't want to you know
But I just dont fit in, and its really startin' to show.

Maybe if I could make the team, I'll stand out in the crowd
If they could see how hard I try I know they would be proud

You see I'm still a virign, my friends cant find out
'Cause if they really knew the truth, I know they'd laugh and shout.

Sometimes I really get so low, I want to cash it in
My problems really aren't so bad, If I think of how life's been.

Sometimes I'm really lost, and I wonder what to do
I wonder where to go, who I can talk to.

It's tough to be a teenager, sometimes life's not fair
I wish I had somewhere to go, and someone to CARE.
