I am a teenager. True.
Outside, I am young a restless.
Indestructable and sometimes a bit cruel.
I am a hypocrite of the men who make mistakes.
I am. Yet I am human, and therefore I think.
Multi-question.
I do not know my destiny.
Its impossible to figure out at this point in my life.
But why am I here?
Why are WE here?
I am sure there is a begining.
I know there is an end.
The meanings of both??
I do not know.
Preach to me your theories.
I am a teenager.
Adulthood is soon enough.
Until then the inner part of me is curious.
Thirsty for knowledge and the meaning of life.
She doesn't want to go on a do the wrong thing...
She wants to do the right.
She wants to be a hypocrite no longer.
I am. Yet I am human, and therefore I think.
Your theories on the meaning of life please.
Your theories on the meaning of time, the idea that there may be none left.
Your theories on death...heaven hell and the afterlife.
Your theories on feelings of hope and grief.

Yes I wrote this.
And may I add...
Your theories on religion, other than those who believe the bible is all truth.

Very nice. You should turn this lovely, poetic question into an essay. Maybe you will find your answers as you write them down.
Some very good books that I like to recommend are the ones by Pema Chodron. She speaks to your core about improving yourself and the world around you. You are never too young, or too old, to begin making changes. I'll leave you with my favorite quote from Ghandi:
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."

I think we are here to make a mark on our lives - to make is as big as it can be.
We are here for the time we are allocated, by God whoever he or she may be.
I think that death is a doorway to a new beginning, or even a life that we previously knew and forgot while we were in this life. Death connects us to our string of previous lives and existences.
Hell is a state we create for ourselves on this life, as we don't live out our full potential. Hell is about the things that impinge on our life that limit us: our fears, anxieties and mistrusts.
I have hope whilever I breathe that each new moment presents another experience that forms the tapestry of life.
We grieve naturally for things enjoyed that no longer are. Grief passes, as do we... as we look forward to new things once again.

It doesn't matter how slow you go as long as you don't stop. When you were younger, you had different thoughts; as you can see now, you have deeper questions. As you grow up, you will feel stronger and deeper questions. IF you're motivated to look for answers, then you will look, and you will find.
Right now, the meaning of your life is exactly what you're doing, LOOKING FOR ANSWERS, and this is the beginning of adulthood too. As you look, you will find different things along the way; Knowledge, Understanding, Wisdom, etc.
Well, you decide whether to look or not, and also, you decide WHERE to dig in. As you can see, it's all about and up to YOU.
GOOD LUCK!

Nice.
Have you considered the enviable luxury your pondering entails? With tens of millions of people living without adequate nutrition, potable water or a salary that provides options that you and I most certainly take for granted, I find your musings a bit selfish.
Have you considered the possibility that no destiny lies ahead of you? Only responsibility? Your obligation to your family? Or to your community?
Have you allowed for the simple possibility that life offers no more than meets the eye? No glorious and eternal afterlife? No omnipotent being responding to countless prayers? Only the competition for survival and the selfish pursuit of one's own happiness?
And, have you overlooked the possibility that thinking is not exclusive to our species?

We've got five purposes and it is all the same for everybody.
1. To give all credit to God and not themselves.
2. To love God the same way He loves us.
3. To love our family, friends and enemy the way we love ourselves.
4. To physically go out and care for the poor.
5. To spread the message of God's love and grace.
WOW! I just found the answer the world has been searching for for thousands of years! Everybody says that the question "What is the meaning of life?" is the most difficult to answer. Well, I say its the easiest.

I think, therefore I think I am
I hope, therefore I want to me more
I have desires
But I look towards the beach
And not to the shore.
