Reflections on being a young citizen

The age of being ‘young’ is from 13-19, which also means ‘teenager’.

The definition of being young, means school, homework, parties, shopping, nights out, family, food, using money, love between two people and much more.

It can be very difficult to be young, because there is such a change from a child to a teenager. We are beginning to feel pressure in school.

Nearly all young people complaints about their age, and they just want to grow up and get their own car, own house and start up a family. I think it’s a waste of time to think so much about the future. Why don’t we all just live in the present and enjoying what we have right now.

We always forget to appreciate our live, and all these amazing friends and things we have, and also all the experiences we have been through.

When you’re a teenager it means there also is a responsibility. You need to earn your own money and get your first job, which can be a challenge, cause as you know teenagers can be very lazy.

Been a young citizen also means that you aren’t adult yet, which also means that you can’t decide everything by yourself. It can be very difficult for many people to realize that it’s the parents who decide the live you have. You have to ask them about their permission. You’re not allowed to drive, smoke or drink alcohol yet. As you can see, there is a lot of things you can’t do before you are grown into an adult.
