I was shocked on what kids my age wrote. it suprises me because most teens you see these days don't care, they skip school and don't do there homework. seeing kids the same age as those kids writing that should make adults have a little more respect for us "nasty teens"

No my voice isn't heard at school because i really don't have lots of friends so i don't talk to people that much i try to keep to myself

Believe it or not but Teenagers don't get the most attention out of people. Being a Teenager at 14 years old is really difficult for me. People out in public sometimes let my words go away or ignore me completely. Really, the only people that would have a chance to listen to teengers like you would be your own family...

Personally ii think that our voices are heard up to a ceartain extent. We are able to exspress how we feel about something only when it is super important. Sometimes even teachers or administrators dont even listen to what we have to say if were late, in discipline or even when we just dont have our homework. I think ii have a voice in school but not big enough.

Do you think there's a difference between being heard over valid complaints or being heard no matter what? (Also, who decides what's a valid complaint or concern?)

Do you all think students ever whine so much that adults tune them out? What's different about the Students 2.0 blog?

I never actually thought of the subject, but I can see now how much it really affects my life. But one thing I would really like to add, is that we never listen. Before teachers ever listen to the reason a student is late for class, doesn't do their homework, or fails a test, they assume the worst of us knowing they were once teens. Im sorry, they listen they just don't believe. Personally it is to my agitation that this problem may never be solved since their are kids that will lie their way out of trouble.

i think that these type of kids will make a really good impact on the teens of today. thay think positive and good things. i dont know why kids act like they do now a days but i wish they were like the ones of who i just read.
