Teenage Years- A Nightmare?

TEENAGE YEARS CONSIDERED THE WORST YEARS OF ONES LIFE

Infancy and adults have their share of problems but teenage years are very challenging and may seem like a nightmare. It’s not easy for teens with the constant challenge of social media and living in an “always on” world.

Everything is changing for teens both physically and emotionally. They face unrealistic expectations of academic and co-curricular excellence, discovering heartbreak, anxiety and low self-esteem. With peer pressure forcing teens to conform to standards and hobbies or face a backlash, teenage life is a minefield.

Teenagers aren’t awkward and confrontational by choice, even if they are treated that way.  Mood swings are a biological part of growing up. Parents aren’t on the same wavelength as teens and often they forget what it felt like to be one. Teenagers are told to act more mature but you still tend to get treated like a kid. Thus being a teenager is the worst time of one’s life.
