Improved Essays
The world is a fucked up place and I don't mean in some cliche, teenage book way where their best friend moves away or they don't pass their test even though they studied.

It was only an hour after the last funeral, my brother's. At sixteen, he was only two years younger than me and already gearing up to take our Father's place. I sighed, sitting on the bed that I've laid in for the past eighteen years, but it wasn't the same. Emotionally, I was null. I used all of my tears the night I found everyone. No one knew who did it or everyone was just too scared to give a name, either way, they were no help. Each funeral was packed people from all over the city, including the Russian and Italian mob.

    In an excerpt, published by The American Scholar, English author Margaret Drabble claimed that “Our desire to conform is greater than our respect for objective facts”. To people that might not mean anything because they view it as a basic principle of life but to other people, like me, it makes us think what society has come to. The quote itself seems to generalize a community specifically the teen community but in reality, everyone becomes a victim when they conform just to fit in. Speaking as a teenager, people think our day consist of waking up, going to school, coming home, doing homework, falling asleep then continuing the routine once again. What people seem to forget is how harsh the world really is.…
