Does anyone know any good songs about adolescents or bullying (besides the obvious olp ones) I need them for a school project and I'm too dumb to think of more than four.. :oops: plus it would be interesting to see what kind of songs like that are out there.

the msot obvivous would be Nirvana- SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT. some others I can think of. Beastie Boys "Fight For Your Right", Skid Row-"18 and Life"(this is the darker side though), POD-"Youth Of The Nation", The Offspring-"The Kids Aren't All Right", Twisted Sister-"We're Not Going To Take It", Rod Stewart-"Young Hearts",

if you want to go with ABUSE you can use Pat Benatar's -"Hell Is For Children' and Suzanne Vega's "LUKA"

Hope that helps. If I think of anymore I will let you know. It has been a long time since I was a teen.

here is one more that will fit.

NOWHERE KIDS( I think that is the title) by Smile Empty Soul.
Adam-by Blink 182(although that is about teen sucide)

Numb by Linkin Park,

I'm not entirely sure if that is what the song is about, i just know the video is, so I'm assuming so.


And uh..Hold On by GC? I don't know...:freak:

Gail, just to let ya know, it's "Adam's Song" You were like 99% of the way there too. The word song should be omitted from song titles anyway.

Untouchable by Dakona -> there are two versions, the neweer one from Perfect Change seems to me to be talking more specifically about abuse than the older one from Ordonary Heros which is a bit more cryptic(sp?).

Speaking of my language project. . . does anyone know where I can find a good but brief (like 40 words) Pear Jam bio?

in 40 words? that's crazy short.

There was a band. They named themselves "Pearl Jam". They had a cool song called "Jeremy". The End.
