Journal Entry 2: Teen Feelings :)

After reading the story "Broken Chain", I think that most thirteen and fourteen year olds care alot about what others think of them and how they look. Most teens have zits/pimples and they care alot about it because they think that their classmates might laugh at them or it might be embarrassing for them to go to school with a zit/pimple. Like most thirteen and fourteen year old girls care about their clothes and hair because they maybe want to fit in with the other girls or they don't want people thinking they are wearing ugly clothes or having a weird hairstyle. When teens care about their appearance they sometimes can't focus in school. For example if they get bored in class they might start thinking about their appearance and loose focus on that subject. I think that appearance is not a big deal because even though if you are really ugly it is not like a person will come up to you and shout in your face "YOU ARE WAY TOO HIDEOUS TO LOOK AT!". I think that thirteen and fourteen year olds should focus more on education rather than their appearance because it is sort of a waste of time.
