we all have secrets. Theres things that make us want to just cry & run away and things that we never want people to know about.
Teenagers are under such pressure to do well in school, in to fit in with their friends, to belong, to not get left behind...
Why do we close our eyes? So even just for a second, every bad thing in life can just go away and for that very brief moment, all the pressure, worry, stress, anger and fear can disappear. We don't have to think about it, because we can't see it. We can hide away.

Teenage problems are getting worse. Why do they take drugs, why do they drink, why do they smoke? They want to escape. They want reality to fade away and they want to just live in a moment of fantasy and they can forget about real life. But real life shouldn't scare them, shouldn't make them want to forget everything...

This needs to change. So much pressure, pressure, pressure on teenagers.
MUST GET GOOD GRADES. MUST GO TO UNI/COLLEGE. MUST LOOK NICE. MUST MUST MUST.
It needs to stop.
We can't be everything that they want us to be.
We need to have fun, we need to be us, we need to make mistakes because if we don't we'll never learn.
Let us breathe. Step away and give us a break.

This song is incredible. It sums things up so perfectly.
"We avoid the topics...We make the kids have secrets"
"It's too late. It's too late"

I don't tend to make happy videos any more, sorry! Do you think I should make some more fun videos?
Love.love.love

  • no there's no sense in bungee jumping with your intestines, i suppose that might've been wishful thinking on my part.

  • if as you say in the first line i dont have to listen to it there is no sense in me bungee jumping to avoid listening to it. please youtube, think about what you are typing before doing so. x
