What's Your Teenage Dream?

‘Teenage Dream’, a song released on July 23, 2010 from Katy Perry is relevant because despite that it came out last year, the song is played everywhere on the radio. It still is popular today and you can hear it mainly everywhere like the radio or in parties. This song reflecting the ideology of teenagers spending their youth to the fullest before they turn into adults.

‘Teenage Dream’, like the title of the song, is about the dreams of teenage and their teenage life. In this song, Katy Perry is talking about her love life when she is a teenage. Before she met her boyfriend, her life is alright but with not much fun. But all those things changes after she met the one that brought her to the real life of teenage and make her life complete. She wants her life to be complete and has no regrets. Her boyfriend makes her feels like she's living in a teenage dream, which all the things are perfect and wonderful. She said that when he looks at her, her heart stops and she can't believe all these things happening because they are so great. She wants to do all the things she wants to do and doesn't need to be regret later on because she already did what she wants to do.

I think 'Teenage Dream' brings out the ideology of teenager's life which teenager should have a happy and perfect life, like how Katy Perry is in the song. But now, most of the teenagers don't have a perfect life like Katy. Most of their life are stressful and full of problems because of school, family or relationship problems. Although many of the teenagers are in a relationship, but i don't think their relationships are like Katy Perry's. So i think this song wants to show all the teenager how their life should be during teenage, happy and perfect!

I like what you have to say here, but I disagree with the last line. Life isn't perfect and what fun would life be without struggles now and then?

Although I do get the major point your making. Life shouldn't be as hard as it is for our generation.

All you hear about now is pot, other drugs, pregnancies, sometimes single or divorced parents, abusive parents, bullying, bad grades...

It should be more like: movies, dates, sleepovers, dances.... Something. Anything, as long as it's positive. Life shouldn't be this daft at this age.

(Do I get extra credit from Speckels for using the word daft?... Probably not. But I tried.)

To enjoy life as much as you can before you turn into the age of an adult is a good point. But sadly of course, all "dreams" have to come to an end because "dreams" don't last forever.

But of course I understand the point that you are trying to make. And I agree that a teenage dream is to have a perfect, happy life. Yet today, all teengers worry about is either grades, family issues, relationship problems, or they just act like they don't care anymore. However, great point in discussing about the ideology of living life to the fullest as a teen!

I agree with what this post says about how as being a teenager all we care about having fun and enjoying life but as we grow up we realize life's not always about having fun. We have a lot of struggle to do in our life.
