"We Real Cool"

This poem describes what life is like for a young adult who doesn't quite understand what he wants in life and is struggling to find himself. Once a child becomes overwhelmed with lifes challenges some just decide to quite school. They become involved in drugs/alcohol/partying and having unprotected sex and could get an STD. Most of these teens that quit school and dont graduate become one of these statistics. A life such as this may end soon such as stated in the last sentence in this poem "Die Soon", We Real Cool, Gwendolyn Brooks. Also the title describes that they think they are so cool cause they dont have to go to school and they can do whatever they want but in the end it could end in tragity such as death.
