The dilemmas of teenagehood

At teenagehood, one is at a most difficult stage in life. It is where you become introduced to the outside world and learn many new things. Therefore, because the brain is still fresh, one easily absorbs anything that she/he comes across. Teens find themselves involved in bad activities such as; drugs abuse, joining gangs and teenage pregnancy. The lack of communication between parents and kids is very effective when it comes to creating a lost youth. Teenagers should learn to have discipline, be responsible and have confidence in everything they do. They can be aware of their mistakes. They need to realize that becoming a criminal, a drug addict or getting pregnant while still being a teenager is the life you choose, because everyone has will power in everything they do. They are only using it for wrong things and in full knowledge of what they do. Teenage years can be both the best and worst of times in the academic cycle. When we are still teenagers, we just want to do whatever we like and the first thing that I myself did not feel like doing was studying. It was the most boring and difficult thing that used always put me down. So for most teenagers, it becomes kind of hard because it is the first step of growing up and by growing you kind of have the drive to experiment on new stuff. As a teenager, it is difficult to control your feelings of anything and you do not even want sometimes to be told what to do. When we are growing up, we need someone to guide us. We need to know how to control ourselves, especially the girls. It is especially tough for teenage girls because their bodies change, they lose control of their feelings and may even ruin their lives if not careful with the schemes of the opposite sex. Teenage life is distorted by falling for peer pressure and searching for love in all the wrong places. There is a lot of pressure to be a great child and get your life in order and on the other hand lots of peer pressure from friends to belong to a crowd. You have to be careful when choosing friends and deciding on any teenage relationship. Teens go through too much stuff yet feel like they cannot confide in their parents. By having, parents who are supportive and understanding, teens can have a productive young life that is free from ruin. Teen life is not just a fun stage. Starting teenagehood is really a beautiful stage full of responsibility and calls for fast growth. Every young person has to be strong enough to be his/her own person. I know that when one becomes a teen, it becomes difficult to sit around doing nothing but think before acting and also think about your future before involving yourselves in stupid things that could be regrettable for the rest of your lives. zuhaynarachidbachoo@yahoo.com
