Weight of the World

by Kayla-Behm99

"You're young," they say. "You have the world ahead of you," they say. "You don't have to plan your life right now," they say. Are they right? "It's a big world out there," Mother says. "There's unlimited choices for you," Mother says. "You can do anything you want," Mother says. Is Mother right? "You're so smart," Father says. "You can be whatever you want," Father says. "You will be amazing in whatever you do," Father says. Is Father right? Society says, "You're just average." Society says, "You have to try harder." Society says, "You're nothing special." Is Society right?

Notes

I'm in high school currently and the stress to pick a major for college and how that major will effect what you do later in life---it's very stressful.
