Adolescence and Teenager

As a teenager, this is the beginning of your life. What you do today determines your whole future. There is no mom or dad to decide on your choices anymore. You have to make up your own mind on which school to go to and what kind of future you choose. You are literally on your own when it comes to making better choices. The adults in your life may be there to guide you but the critical life decisions are on your shoulders
Should you decide to take too much alcohol, smoke, have unprotected sex, etc you will have to face the consequences alone. Whatever choices one makes, they reap the rewards. Smoking does cause cancer and unprotected sex does lead to pregnancy or worse, sexually transmitted diseases. Whilst standing your ground is difficult when all your peers startexperimenting with bad substances, it has great rewards. Teenage stage is an exciting yet dangerous time and learning curve. So many new things to get exposed to, so much to gain yet so much to lose. Some choose to listen to the advices they get from parents and other wise adults and some sadly choose drugs, gangsterism and unprotected sex, etc.
Basically one chooses the direction they want their lives to take. Making good choices in relationships, career, health and overall wellness will set the pace for your entire life. You have the power to make your life what you want it to be. If you have made major mistakes already, don’t despair. We all make mistakes and start all over. It’s never too late to make a fresh start. For more wisdom and advise, keep reading.
Being a teenager is one of the toughest and most memorial things that one goes through in life. A teenager goes through many happy times and many depressing times. Stress, depression, and peer pressure, are some negative things that a teenager goes through in life. Friends and dating are joyful times that teenagers face in the adolescent years in today’s time.

Tennagers are generally full of vitality and energy. This advantage allows them to conquer the world literally, experience new insights, gain wisdom and acquire knowledge. Teenagers can also challenge themselves to practise extreme physical sports like mountain climbing. Often free from financial burdens, nothing pulls them back from pursuing academic excellence and various desires.

However, many teenagers misintepret the meanings of life. They do not have indivisuality due to the lack of knowledege and wisdom to proceed with logical thinking. Some teenagers do not have their parents to guide them along this course of life. Therefore, these teenagers begin to assume that the teenage years are the worst years of their lives.

Some teenagers also feel apart from their peers because of looks, grades or achievement injustice. They are tempted to see how far they can push the status quo.

Therefore, many teenagers began to worship metal bands like Atreyu, Cradle of Filth and Bleeding Through and resort to foolish acts like self -mutilation. Many teenagers start to believe that the slitting of wrist and writting poems glorifying their suicide attempts can show their support for emo bands and even be as cool as these bands. This wrong perception is due to the satanic appearance and... [continues] being a teenager is hard, harder than some can imagine, harder than some can remember. It’s those years you’ll never forget though you sometimes wish you could wipe them away. They seem to last forever, but when you look back, they went by so fast. Being a teenager is falling in love too fast, and too hard, talking for hours on the phone to your best friends, being talked about and talking about others. It’s being guilty when you’re innocent, it’s standing out and fitting in. It’s when you have a million questions that will never be answered. Being a teenager isn’t something you can really describe, unless you’re living it at the time. It’s dealing with life when it crashes on you, and trying your hardest to live through it. Everyone has their tough times. Everyone goes through something, but being a teenager, that’s when you feel everything at once. When you’re in love, you’re really in love, when you hate someone, you despise them, when you’re lonely, you’re miserable. Being a teenager is something you always have to go through, and it’s the best and worst years of your life. Being a teenager isn’t anything-it’s everything. It isn’t a big deal-it’s a HUGE deal. And while you’re being a teenager, you ought to live it up, because this is the one chance. The one time, you’ll be young, and free, and careless, as teenagers usually are."[continues]
