Why is life so hard for kids?

Parents say they know us,
But we know they don't
KNow one knows us,
We are the only ones who know ourselves,
Parents give us the "we use to be kids too."
They are not kids of the 20th century,
School is harder,
Life is harder,
People are ruder,
Kids are in gangs,
Hurting each other,
some of the gangs kill people,
When kids start going to school and they have an older sibling hteir parents are like'Why can't you be like you sister/Bother?' or 'you need to get better grades.'
they expect too much from us,
We have to deal with socail life and they think it's not improtant,
Then we have the cliques,
yes there where cliques back then but come on they're worse now,
Why do us kids have to go through this. I ask myself everyday.
