I just don't understand guys. There's something wrong with them, I think. Yeah, there's gotta be something wrong with them!

*starts pacing* I mean, there's no way being that bipolar or whatever is healthy for a person.

Take my brother, for example. Some days he's all emo or whatever and all "I hate the world" and stuff. Others days, he can actually be kinda nice...although that doesn't happen much. Others still, he's all geeky and...dweebish and video gamer-ish. Some days he'll even act all dumb and like he's six, not sixteen. Oh, and then there're a few days each month when he—no joke—acts like a PMSing girl! *sighs* I don't know how he does all that and still makes all the girls love him! Oh, and don't get me started on his cleanliness...or rather, his lack of any.

And my boyfriend. Sometimes he's even more annoying than my brother. And that's saying something. He's like a puppy dog sometimes, and others he's so freaking cold and distant. It's like that "he loves me, he loves me not" thing. He loves me, he loves me not. He loves me, he loves me not. He loves me, he loves me not—ugh! I just don't get it!

*sighs* I guess it's just hormones.

This is a good monologue when auditioning for sulkier, more bratty teen or preteen characters. And while it was originally written for a girl lamenting about guys, it could be reversed with certain changes here and there. If interested in that, feel free to contact me, and I can write it for you (unless you would rather try your hand at reversing it yourself). This is another older one of mine (as in four years older), but even now, at seventeen, I feel like this is a relevant enough, amusing enough monologue to anyone who has lived through that confusing time known as the teenage years.
