Wasnt That Smile Just A Smile?

Remember the times when we were at our kindergarden's/taska's/tadika's/preschool........

Those were the times and well this post is for my buddy who's kinda tied up with issues, typical teenage issues.

You know, teenagers nowadays, its either probs with l.o.v.e, money or peers.

The prob with money is the variety of gadgets the market has to offer these days, and they're not at your bargain bin price.So teenagers find out all sorts of ways to get kachings by even unhealthy ways.Speaking as a teenager myself, i am too tempted by handphones, mp3's and all that.But i dont go over the board to get them, i know they'll come to me one day.
"Patience is a Virtue"

So next on the list is peers.Typical enough there are the backstabbing,gossiping stuff like that. Sometimes it can really affect a person, deeply or mildly, its just part of highschool. I mean what would highschool be without the cheerleaders, the populars, the nerds, the unknowns and the brains. There's this quote by someone i forgot but it kinda made sense

"To Find A Girl's Faults, Praise Her to Her Girl Friends"

And the highlight would be L.O.V.E, or should i say infatuation a.k.a. puppy love.But i do agree some really developed strong feelings for the opposite sex. You see parents and teachers mostly disagree when teenagers 'pak to'. The most common and abundant reason that comes from them is, "STUDIES FIRST, IF YOUR RELATIONSHIP FAILS, IT WILL AFFECT YOU BADLY". Well, Pn Monica strongly disagrees abt this issue for the same reason stated above. But lets not make it a stereotype thing can we? Not all of us gets affected badly do we? Maybe a mere 99%, haha? Think of it as a lesson we can learn from growing up, dont let your guard down just because some let it get into them so badly. But you see the thing goes like a cycle

Scene one: I love you, you love me, we love each other and expects it to be FOREVER

Scene two: I hate you, you're not what i expected, you are self centered bla bla

Scene three : This scene has 2 options
1) Im sorry, lets give it another try.
2)After this, Im not gonna fall in love anymore.

If they chose option (1), the cycle goes on
If they chose option(2), the cycle too goes on, why? Dont be dumb, feelings are the power-house of humans, its impossible to not get attracted. So in the teenage part of life, the cycle of love goes like this, even if you say u arent gonna fall in love anymore.

So after much crap, if you consider it as one, i dont mind.
Here's something that fits the title, wasnt that smile just a smile?

When we were young and innocent, we smiled and laugh at an average of god knows how many times a day.Life was so simple back then, a smile was just a smile. As we age, the smile turns into a bridge for us to gain something, to get a handphone we smile to our parents, and there is also that kinda "smile" from the populars to the unpopulars, and the smile to our going-to-last-forever partner.

Smiling requires so much muscles now huh? Well, its part of growing up aint it? Life has to get complex at a certain stage but the least and i repeat the least we can do is TRY. Try to smile from the heart, try to smile without trying to be someone your peers expected you to be, try to learn and let things go with the flow and back to the time when you were happy just being yourself. Obviously its easier said than done in times like this but hey remember the least you can do is TRY, right my friend?You know who you are.
