A Teenage Life

A long time ago, a child was born with nothing on his mind. A child who gently sleeps in her
mother’s arm, and always cries when gets hungry. This child grew up to become a great kid.
This kid grew up to be me

Since childhood, I was the happy-go-lucky kid. I really never bothered everything but only
play with my friends. I was so gleeful, cheerful, and always think positively. I love my friends,
and they do love me. But my entire life changed when I entered this critical stage in life
where everything should be systematic. A new chapter in life where everything calls for
desperate measures. Everyone, we’re now leaving Kiddieville, so fasten your seatbelts, and
away we go the TeenTown!

Teenage life is a chapter of our life where we teens should be meticulous in everything we
do. In here, our body grows older, and we can’t imagine the things growing in our skins as we
go through this stage in life. Have you imagined it? That as we go through this stage,
everything changes…physically, mentally, socially, and most of all, emotionally.

As we go through life, we meet changes. Changes that will make our character stand above
all. What you do now will lay the foundation for your state in the future.For a short period of
our adolescence, we must try to make this the exciting, enjoyable, and memorable times in
our life.As a teenager, we are in that enviable stage where everything is positioned to go our
way. We are young, full of energy, we feel like we are invincible, totally carefree and
becoming free and more independent.We will also have a thousand and one questions as we
enter this new stage of life. This is the time when we actually need the guidance and support
of our parents and older people.We are social creatures and the need for companionship is
most pronounced among teenagers. The company we keep will have a great effect in our
teenage life. Choosing the right circle of friends will save us a lot of troubles, heartaches and
possibly a life of deep regret. Enjoy the company of different kinds of people and develop
important social skills.It is very rare to find young people who set clear definitions and limits
on their personal behavior. Whether it is drugs, crime, premarital sex, pornography, alcohol,
smoking etc., many young people just seem to go along with the crowd. They easily give in to
peer pressure.

There may be temporary thrills and pleasures but the end result is always the same- a life of
grief and deep regret. It can also be the most tragic and heart breaking for some.
I never knew what people meant when they say, "These are the best years of our life!" I still
haven't figured that one out but at least I can look back at bygone opinion pieces and think of
myself, "AWWWWE, yeah It was!" in a very genuinely sarcastic way.
