Peer pressure? Not likely
Working under someone? Not likely
Allowing being restricted? Not likely
Being taken advantage of? To an extent. Here’s why I say that.
As a teenager I know that I have to rely on adults in order to get where I want and feel I need to be. So sometimes, I may be doing uncomfortable, non exciting, labor. But only till I can begin completely relying on myself.
I have 2 goals in life. I have a career goal and only one other after that, which is a personal goal. They are both life goals however, just put into it’s respective category.
- To build my community drastically
- To live comfortably
It may seen ironic to want to live comfortably while seemingly wanting to do “hard work”, but that’s why I say comfortable life and not an easy one.
Something I’ve realized is that I have the persistence of a mosquito, I’ll be drawn constantly to whatever will help me reach my goals whether it’s hard or not. And I can do it more so when I’m in a comfortable environment.
What I dislike most in life and find happens often because either I’m a teenager or because people aren’t very self aware, is when I’m pressured to take a route as if I didn’t already have a plan. I get the “I must understand more than you as I’ve already lived it, your only a teenager” but I have a plan for everything, and you’ll find that they (adults) tend to completely ignore your plans.
Of course on the outside, I am very compliant and smiling and relaxed and understanding. But I’m truly seething inside, finding you very irritating. When I’m pressed enough and I really don’t want to do what you tell me, I may come off as passive aggressive. “I already know what I’m going to do, thank you though” It may come off in a barely managed, composed tone, but then again a lot of people will call a disagreement passive aggressiveness. Or they may catch something as passive aggressive, when you didn’t initially mean it to be that way.
Passive aggressiveness is subjective.
And I like to live.
