In lit we learn about how each era has it's own key issues and concerns, and I was thinking, if I had to sum up the concerns of this generation, it would probably include themes like

• identity
• friendship
• emotions
• society

which essentially revolves around the same idea, I think. none are exclusive of the other.

We should write singaporean teen literature. and that means one more theme would be something along the lines of

• education vs passion

but i'm talking like real literature and not chick lit (although I do enjoy reading them once in awhile if you're writing or if you're sophie kinsella please keep writing), and years down the road we will have teenagers studying these texts and being able to fully relate to all these.

We all wonder what it means to be yourself. It's The Question of the Century. I think teenagers are very complicated creatures with varying moods and faces and I don't think it makes us any less ourselves at all. So what if one day we're talkative and the next we're all loners. We're young and we need time to dwell in the silence and just think about life and what we're doing where we're going.

and along with that we wonder what friendship means. is it what we share with the people on facebook or is it saying hi to someone in the corridor or is it what we share with the people we laugh with in school everyday or is it what we have with people we've known for a long time or is it what we have with people we trust?

are there different levels of friendship?

and that last bit about education vs passion. I don't even feel like talking about it.

but can someone tell me how i can make $$ with a non-boring job?
