4 THINGS PARENTS DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT TEENS || CHILE ANYWAYS

                      Just because we don't want you in our phones doesn't mean were hiding anything, it just means we want our privacy. LOVE YOU MOM!

1.  Social Media Is a Outlet

        When you are a teenager there are so many things that you are going through and so many changes. We have new responsibilities we're not use to and also learning who we are on top of that. So yes, when we have some free time to let go and forget the moment we get on YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. Now I'm not saying that is an excuse for us to be on Social media 24/7, but I'm saying to not get on our case about it, but cut us some slack because we are dealing with things too.

       I'm sure back then y'all had things to use as stress relief, ours just sometimes happen to be social media. Plus, parents are just as addicted to social media as we are. There is no way you guys can deny that. Y'all do the same things that we do, it's just the fact that were teenagers that makes it look bad. Now that's tea.

 2. Just Because We Respond Doesn't Mean We Are Talking Back

                When teenagers say anything back to our mom or dad it's automatically ''You're being disrespectful.'' ''who are you talking too?'' 9 times out of 10 we are just trying to EXPLAIN our point of view. For me, It's never disrespectful, it's just a matter of me trying to get my point across in a respectful way.

               Also, if you wanna try me, studies show that whenever teenagers speak up for themselves with their parents (Respectfully of course), these teens tend to stick up for themselves in more important situations. Don't you see, when parents allow their children to have a conversation, it helps them in their life overall. So, I do encourage parents to allow their teenagers to have a conversation with them without automatically accusing them of being disrespectful. 

3. We Need Privacy

            

                Just as parents want privacy, we do too. That doesn't mean that we are hiding or keeping anything from you. We are just wanting our own things to ourselves just as you do. Such as wanting our doors closed, keeping our phones with us, and more. It's just a sense of comfort that we have with our things.

                I've heard people say that when teens have our much-needed privacy, it helps to build our independence. When we handle minor situations on our own, that will slowly teach us to handle bigger ones in the future. Disclaimer, if a parent does feel like something is going on and you need to check do so, but please talk to us about it first.

4.Don't Be Too Strict

        When parents are too strict with their teenagers they are giving us no room to make mistakes. Life is about making mistakes and learning from them. In my opinion, when you don't allow us to learn from our mistakes as teens we'll do those things in our adult life which will lead to consequences we can't fix. It's better to let us make mistakes then instead of hurting our future later.

        Another disclaimer: If it is obviously something stupid that can ruin our lives forever, then that is when it is okay to step and do what parents do. Other than that, once we learn from the mistakes we made in the past, we will know in the future the damage that it can do for us now.

   So this is the end, I know that this weeks article is kind of short. That is because last weeks was pretty long so I didn't want to give another long one back to back. Anyways I hope all of you have a good day/afternoon/night.

BLACK PINK ALBUM REVIEW! EEEEEE

                 The queens of BlackPink have FINALLY blessed me with an album, THE ALBUM, I've been waiting for. It's been more than four years and let me tell you it was heat. Today I am going to be talking about their songs (of course) Which member I think owned this era, Choreography, favorites, and more!

Back of stage of Lovesick Girls performance on Inkigayo

Each Song Individually 

1.  How You Like That

                When 'How You Like That' came out, I was honestly, disappointed. Don't get me wrong it's the fire that BlackPink always brings, but that's the things...that it is what they always bring. I was hoping for something different. I love the song, but feel like I got tired of it very fast. BlackPink had me wondering when were they going to come back with something like 'Playing With Fire' or 'Don't Know what to do.'

                My overall rate for HYLT is...7/10! Only because I felt like I've been hearing the same sound from them in the same order for tooooo long. Other than that, the song is a certified BOP! Since this song technically belongs to a different era I would have to say...Lisa and Jisoo OWNED this era, I couldn't pick between the two since they both shined. Also, the choreography for this song was typical BlackPink, but I 100% still loved it.

                                                           HYLT Music Video

2. Ice Cream Ft. Selena Gomez

                Y'all I'm not a big fan of Selena Gomez, but when I tell you I was HYPE when I saw the teaser for this song. My first time watching the music video I got up and ran to my mom was like ''LOOK AT THIS!'' I made her watch the whole thing and she was just like "ooooh okay." I really did like the pink and cutesy theme to the music video and how they blend Selena being in the US and them being in South Korea so well.

                

                My rate for Ice Cream is a 9/10! This song doesn't get a 10/10 because of the lack of lines Jisoo had in this song. As far as Choreography, at first, I didn't like the animation idea, but then it grew on me. I don't know if they got a new choreographer for this song, but the dance is so good. Every move they did just fit perfectly with the song and the theme of the music video.

3. Pretty Savage 

            This is my FAVORITE song on the album. There is nothing wrong with the song in my opinion. You can also tell that they tried something new with Lisa starting the song and Jisoo saying the "BlackPink in your area.'' I have this song playing as we speak. The name of the song is BlackPink just not in colors? If that makes sense. They said on Jimmy Kimmel that Pretty Savage is who they are as BlackPink. 

            Rate? 10/10 for sure, everything about this song is perfect. A lot of people surprising don't the choreography for this song. They say that It's too soft and should be more hardcore considering the song. Chile, I disagree. The choreography matches the song perfectly. Wanna test me? The name of the song is PRETTY SAVAGE. The savage is where the hip hop vibe comes from with the song, right? This is where people don't agree, but listen, the softer and laid back "baddie'' movements go perfect with the pretty. There you go, Pretty savage...okay bye.

                                                                            Lisa 

4. Bet You Wanna Ft. Cardi B

           The second I heard "BlackPink…Cardi!" I screamed! This song seems so uplifting for women, like no, I'm not chasing you, you are chasing me. Cardi B's rap was really good. It wasn't crazy but, I'm still rapping every single line every time. Rose's high notes at the end will send me to a whole other dimension and I can't take it.

            My rate for this song is another 10/10. I couldn't ask for more with a song title "bet you wanna." All of the lines hit too. Lisa's hips don't lie, if you want Jennie better bet higher, Jisoo is lighting you fire, and Rose knows you wanna run with her love. Ahh okay, I'm done. If there was a dance to this song it would be so good, I can feel it.

                                                                        Jennie

5. Lovesick Girls 
            For starter, I didn't even know an album was coming out at first I just thought it was Lovesick Girls. My first time listening to lovesick girls, I was so proud. I was starting to feel like BlackPink was stuck in the same style of music, but LSG proved me so wrong. It's so different from what they normally do and I'm here for it. The scene with Rose Crying in the bathtub with all the black paint is honestly so beautiful. It's my favorite scene.

                 Now, my rate for LSG. . .9/10! Hear me out, It's only 9/10 for one reason, the choreography. Let me tell you, in the music video I was so hyped for the dance practice to come out and when it did and I watched the whole thing I was like ''that's it.'' I just wish I was something as different as the song, but I love the chorus dance though. 

                                                                                    Rose

6. Crazy Over You

        Crazy over you is my second favorite song on the album. First of all, the beat is INSANEEEE! It goes crazy. My favorite part is the chorus, the feeling of it makes me feel like it going to go so high then they drop it so low. Ughhh serving me. I never thought I need this song in my life...Bruh I'm so extra and for what?

        Y'all should already know that this song is a 10/10. There is literally nothing you can add to this song. Jennie's rap is heaven-sent. The ending too, it sounds like some type of anthem chant. I love singing this song, it for sure challenges my control over my voice. Singing this is not that easy bruh, it's like a bunch of personalities coming out at once. 

BlackPink

7. Love To Hate Me 

        BlackPink actually came for all of their haters in this song. When Jisoo said ''Imma let you fade into the background, baby all my shows are getting too loud." I DIED! The lyrics go so hard for this. As they should, Imagine being a hater and going to this, like I bet they felt so attacked. . .as they should though.

          Love to hate me rate is a...9/10. It's not a 10 because I kind of felt like Lisa was getting lost in the beat with her rap. I mean it's not bad, but it could be better. That is my only ''complaint'' about this song. Rose starting the song, started the song just as it should. I'm ready to see some tour choreography in 2022, because Miss Corona still here.

                                                                                BlackPink

8. You Never Know

                Nothing could have been better than Jisoo and Lisa starting this song. This song is really so beautiful and I don't think BlackPink has a song talking about how hard it is to be an idol in the K-Pop industry.  They'll all showing the true strength that they have in their voices. Even Lisa because she never really sings.

                10/10 rate for sure. If there was no English I would think this was a Christmas song, I don't know why. Anyways, the beat goes great with Jisoo's kind of deep and raspy voice. I love the line ''It's easier to judge me than to believe.'' Even better that Jennie sung it because everyone always finds a reason to not like Jennie and I don't get it. 

Lovesick Music Video

WHO OWN THIS ERA?

        Lisa is my bias so I was a bit nervous that I would pick her, but when Lovesick Girls came out I knew who it was. The owner of 'THE ALBUM' era is...Rose. I just think rose really shined so much this era. She's Improved her dancing, vocals, stage presence, EVERYTHING! It wouldn't feel right giving this to anyone else. (lol) Why am I talking like I am about to present her with an award?!

            

            Alright, you guys this the end. I just want to say thank you for taking the time to read about my obsession with BlackPink…It's Unhealthy, I know. Just a quick message, I have a YouTube channel now and the first video is going today. I would love it if you go to watch it. Thanks again, now I'm going to go watch 'Light Up the Sky' again on Netflix.

TIPS FOR WHAT IT IS LIKE BEING IN HIGH SCHOOL! HOT TEA

                 Don't get me wrong high school going to be possibly one of the greatest 4 years of your life, but sis/bro it will not be like High School Musical.  Alexa play Mad at Disney by Salem Ilese. 

     1. JOIN ACTIVITETIES AND CLUBS 

                    I cannot stress this enough especially if you're going into High School not knowing anyone, joining clubs will be the easiest and most comfortable way to make some friends. There are like 100s of things you can join. Sports teams, fine arts, or even make a club yourself that is perfect for you. When you join a club  you will be less nervous than you are in class because you will be with more people like you.

                    When I joined Theatre my freshman year I was terrified, but as soon as I walked in there was another freshman and she was nervous too. Everyone was so nice to me and willing to teach me things that I didn't know. If you want to test me when I say that you will make friends, the freshman that was there with me has now my best friend for the past three years now.

 2.     DON'T SKIP SCHOOL EVENTS 

                I'm sure any High School advice video or article is going to tell you to go to the school events, but it's true. It might seem lame to be the peppy high school student, but to be honest, it's really not. Not participating in homecoming week is kind of boring and dull. Plus, going and participating will not do anything but add to your fun memories of your High School experience. 

                 During my freshman year, I went to the Homecoming dance with my friends and let me tell you, the music wasn't that good and a lot of people didn't come, but honestly, it was so fun and I made a lot of memories with my friends. I do plan on going to homecoming every year after that and every school event.

  3. IT'S OKAY TO LOSE FRIENDS

                When you enter high school you're going to find new things that you like and new friends, with that being said people are bound to drift apart. Now, I'm not saying that this will happened to everybody because that is not the case at all, but it will happen to some people. On the bright side, everything happens for a reason if you lose a friend, surely better ones will come.

                It happened to me. It was only my first few months and I had drifted away from the people I thought I would be friends with forever. On the other hand, I found a good amount of great friends that I know I can count on for anything. It might be hard to see now, but in the end, you'll be so happy.

                

4. FOCUS

          With all the new experiences that come with High School, it can be very distracting. Yes, go and do the fun things that you want and make mistakes, but still, focus on your work at the same time. Remember the reason why you are there and that and your future goals first. School isn't my favorite thing ever, but I know I have to finish to get where I want to be in life.

             I remember  when I started High School I was like "AYEE THIS IS FIRE!" I had got myself distracted from all the things that were most important. I slipped academically, I'M BACK ON TOP NOW, but it was hard to do the things that I already have to do (during sophomore year) plus making up for freshman year. It's easier to just do the things you have to do, so it won't be as hard or stressful.

5. YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE MISTAKES

               Name one person that has made it through high school without making any mistakes? No one. Not one person can say that they were perfect. You are going to have the test that you didn't pass, it happens to everyone and is perfectly normal. It doesn't make you different at all. In fact, you are just improving and going to push yourself to go harder.

                I can guarantee you that if I didn't make the mistakes I've made so far I wouldn't be as far as I am now. It's all just a learning process, it may not feel like now, but this is just a lesson that will ultimately make you stronger in the end. When you are older you will look back on all of this and it will all be funny. ''Bad decisions make funny stories."

             I hope you all love the advice I gave. I tried to give the best I could considering the fact that I am still a junior, but I'm sure I hit some of the important points though. Until next time I will see you all in the next blog.
