Stereotyped


because I was born into this generation I must get pregnant at 15. because I was born into this generation I must be an illiterate teenager. because I was born into this generation I must be in & out of jail. because I was born into this generation I must not care about my future life. because I was born into this generation I must not look foward to college. because I was born into this generation I must not have goals that contribute to reality. because I was born into this generation I refuse to allow myself to stoop lower than those older. I was born into this generation but I am not apart of it. I am one who has been inspired to inspire those around. This isn't to blame my generation but to put an outlook on how different & naive we have become. because I was born into this generation I seek to find change.
