Teen Angst

We recently studied the Beat Generation in my American Literature class, and as a culminating activity I asked students to write their own anger, angst-ridden poems.  Needless to say, I was rather shocked at some of the results.  As extra credit, I uploaded some of the poems online, for your listening pleasure.  If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a teen today, or if you’re simply bored, here’s a disturbing window into the psyche of a 17 year old.  And a sample of what I deal with daily.
