Don't be a teen

Don't be a teen 
Don't be a teen 
We've all seen reports 
and evidence. We've all 
seen the special episodes, 
the movie plots, 
the behavior of teens 
that made us wince. 
Don't be a teen! 
Don't be a teen! 
So just this wince, this once 
just don't. Step nimbly past 
that awkward stage. Society's 
afraid of teens, despite 
we say they're all the rage. 
Just be a kid 
Just be a kid 
then suddenly, 
when you're too big 
to pass for child?
Take one big look 
around, big step.
Grow up. 
Take charge!
No running wild
