Why so high?


People wonder Why it is teens Are so suicidal here Is it because They are confused They are being forced Into a shell They are basically invisible To the eye of society They are ignored when They reach out for help I see it that it is Because they have Turned invisible By society To be seen, But not acknowledged Expected to fit Into society without Saying a word Or causing a stir They are acknowledged In elementary school Invisible from Middle school Until you are 21 Where you Are basically told Welcome back To society Here is a vertical license And you can go drinking. Why must we ignore teens They are the future of our society They leave school Being expected to function In society with minimal training Sat in a classroom for 13 years Only to be told We should know how to Function within a normal society
