i AM a teen, thank you (14). I only feel that we should commend all art so as to insure its existance in society. I also believe that although the adult poets on this site are excellent, they too had to begin somewhere. Everyone goes through artistic stages, and it's completely hippocritical to become annoyed with someone who is in a similar stage to one you've been in. No, everyone is not a poet, however everyone posesses the need to express their feelings. We should not spurn that. Ridiculing show of emotion is what leads to violence in teens.
