A Found Poem from Nancy Jo Sales’ Vanity Fair Piece About Teens
Gotta wheel the bitches in
Gotta wheel the bitches in
Nowadays you can
do it so easy.
She hoped it would somehow be
like the Lana Del Rey song.
I will love you till the end of time.
But there was something different about his face —
it was squishier
like —
he was almost fat.
But she didn’t know quite how to get out of it
They wound up going inside a Pottery Barn
and making out on a couch.
My little cousin
she’s 13
and she posts such inappropriate pictures on Instagram
and boys post sexual comments
and she’s like, “Thank you.”
The cum shot in the face is a big thing.
Guys,
you know —
from just like
having one class together
will be like
Do you like to suck dick?
If a guy doesn’t, like, stalk you back,
then you’re gonna feel rejected.
I was 11 years old
I didn’t know how to respond
Greta said you can know their likes
and dislikes
Oh they like that band
You can, like
casually wear that band’s T-shirt
and have them
like —
fall in love with you
or something.
They dress like sluts, Sydney said
in bandeaus and short shorts
that show your butt cheeks —
excuse me, you’re not at the beach.
She admitted she sometimes
dressed like that too.
Remember when Anita got semen on Maya’s jacket?
And then Maya posted it on her wall?
A spike in interest in pornography
is associated with advancement
in women’s rights.
More provocation equals
more likes.
One reason my boyfriend broke up with me
was that I was not a real person. I lost
all my self-confidence. There’s only two ways
for a girl to go and that’s to be a dumb bitch
or just a bitch.
And he was like
I really love you
I’ve never met anybody like you
You’re not a dumb bitch.
When it comes to children there is really nothing to argue about
They don’t even know that’s what they’re doing
You can be sitting in class getting a boner
Some girl is texting you that she wants to suck your dick
