One thing I've noticed about many teens,like myself, is their new found obsession with apathy. Now this might not be so new found, but it seems very prevalent among other emotions these days. It seems we have a new fear of feeling nothing, which seems to be causing many of us to throw ourselves at an idea of love that may or may not be true. As a matter of fact it seems to be causing us to throw ourselves at any emotion we can experience, be it good bad or ugly. Depression is escalating in teens, and many of them are bringing it o nthemselves as they try to experience as many emotions as they can, as fast as they can, for fear of not feeling anything. Which is causing higher stress levels which could be bad for our health. I've noticed that quite a few of my friends can't be happy outside of a relationshiop, convincing themselves that they must be in "love" in order to be happy, thus forcing themselves into thinkign that they lvoe every new boy that comes into their life. Then i find myself wonderign if this is very healthy for us at all. I know that apathy is a very unhealthy emotion, or lack there of, in itself, but is accelerating the rate we experience things any healthier? Then what happens if we can't convince ourselves into love, which emotion is next, the easiest one to experience otherwise? what happens when instead we start causing ourselves pain just for the sake of feeling? It looks like it could very well become a vicious cycle. but then, this is just food for thought for the moment.
