Can teens blog?

If you are new to this blog you may not know, but I am a 15 year old kid. Thats right the content you are enjoying comes from a 15 year old kid sitting at his desk. Weird to think that huh?Or is it? Blogging is just another form of journalism, and students have been journalist for years. From the school newspaper to local news papers students have been writing stories for the public for a while.

Why does it seem so weird to have a 15 year old blog? Is it hard to comprehend that a teen knows this much about technology. I don’t think so, but some adults and even teens do.It really doesn’t matter I (and my generation) are the future, and this is the way we communicate along with (Mypsace, Facebook, and Instant messaging). This is the way the future will communicate and get its news.

The only reason I bring this up is because I have had a few people come to me and say that I should be more concerned with school then my blog. I told them politely that I am an A,B student and do well in school. They looked at me like I was crazy.

I understand that these people don’t understand that blogging is a form of journalism, creativity, and expression. What I don’t get is how people can be this ignorant.Blogs have been around for years now, and now are basically mainstream. Then why can’t a teen be mainstream? Why can’t a teen be free to tell people about technology?

If you have an opinion about this subject go ahead and leave a comment, and don’t feel closed out to turn me down. I understand that some other people have different opinions

P.S.

This conversation happened between me and a teacher. This shows where are tax dollars are going…
