What Teenagers Cannot Live Without

When you wake up each morning, it’s that subtle song that keeps you relaxed and willing to get out of bed. When you’re getting dressed for a party or an evening out, it’s that upbeat song that pumps your heart and makes you want to sing and dance.

There’s a type of music for every mood. Music can cure your boredom or your sadness and can even put you right to sleep when you’re having a hard time keeping your eyes shut. It zones you out, sometimes in a bad way. But most of the time it lets you forget things you’re worrying about, or just those random thoughts running through your mind.

Music also brings back memories. When you turn on the radio or a random song comes up on shuffle on your iPod, you start remembering the time when the song was popular. Then there are those (sometimes annoying) songs that get stuck in your head. You start humming or singing them and you don’t even realize you’re doing it until a friend tells you to stop.

And there are definitely moments in your life when you wish there was music playing. It’s unfair how in movies, music is always playing in the background, but in real life, nobody’s carrying a boom box around! Putting on some music can make certain situations a whole lot less awkward.

Some songs have true meanings to them, and others are made just to make you laugh. Some are made to express feelings, and others are written to celebrate special times.

Music gives people an excuse to sing or dance. It’s the reason you might stay in your room a minute longer, so you can finish listening to your favorite song on the radio. One of the best things about music is having the chance to hear your favorite band play live. That gets you psyched on a whole new level.

Music is a necessity that teenagers cannot possibly live without. It can sometimes do things that people can’t. It doesn’t judge you or tell you what to do; it lifts your aura and gives you a feeling of complete, surrounding peace and happiness.
