Being a Teenager: Challenges and Identity

“Enjoy the teenage years, its would be the best years in you´re life!”

I hear that from many adults, and I have heard that in many years.

Now I am 16 years old and of course it have been many good years but to be a teenager is not that easy like many think.

Being a teenager is really tough. It's the where you have to deal with the most changes, in your whole life.

The most important thing about being a teenager is responsibility.

When you're a teenager, you get blamed for anything wrong you do, get grounded, punished; unlike before when you were a child, and you could get away with anything.

Not everything is bad, when you become a teenager you don’t have to ask you’re parents to take you somewhere you want or somewhere you never have been.

You can go with friends and have fun, you can now go to parks, parties etc. with friends, or even alone.

But with all good things, must come the bad.

During this age, you are old and hopefully smart enough to understand what is good for you, and make decisions without consulting others. But with that comes risk, and nowadays, fun stuff are usually bad stuff.
