5. TEENAGE LIFE
• .. Truth about adolescence. Their minds "censor" their memories; and have them believe that being a teenager
was was one big party, free of cares and responsibilities. Well let me say this, you couldnOt be more wrong if you had a
lobotomy. There aren't that many adults around who realise what adolescence was really like. The anguish, the fear, the
anxiety, the stress. People don't remember those problems because they want to forget them. The truth of the matter is,
is that being a teenager is hard, right from the beginning, and it doesn't get any easier. We are such easy prey for big
name companies who advertise using the pressure of popularity, looks and sex to force us to buy their product that, as
it turns out, we never wanted or needed in the first place. Our lives are filled with stress. One of the greatest sources of
pressure is school. Where we are herded like cattle from room to room, chewing on our cud, while the hay of
knowledge is force fed to us as we are trying our hardest to gulp it down as more and more is shovelled in. Another
great source of pressure is ourselves.
6. • We try our hardest to be accepted among a certain group or circle. Whereas most of the time we are
rejected and we become depressed. Depression, another problem, along with ignorance and apathy that
thwarts our lives. A wise man when questioned about his view on ignorance and apathy, said "I
don't know, and I don't give a damn. We find outlets for our emotions through either art, poetry or
music, being the three most common. There are thousands of poems floating around written by bitter or
depressed teenagers that are never recognised as works of art. Another form of escape for teenagers is,
unfortunately, suicide. It is alarming how high the teen suicide rates have risen over the past decade. Yet,
it is comforting that there are support groups and counsellors available now to aid...
7. TEENAGE PROBLEMS
• ...Of their life strongly and positively, while others face many problems and difficulties. This depends on the environment these young adults live in, their parents, their friends,
their living conditions, their education, and many other factors. Teenagers face many problems such as becoming addicted to drugs and alcohol, being influenced negatively by their
peers, self-image and weight, or even arguments with their parents Drugs between teenagers is one of the most serious problems, because it causes a change in the behavior of any
teenager and a physical change too. Most of the teenagers use alcoholic drinks as a way to escape from their problems. Teenagers might also use them because of their friend's
influence. Poor teenagers might use them too, to forget their cold body and hunger. Alcoholism is a society's sickness that affects all people, including teenagers and adults. It is
considered as a modern way to have fun. Some teens drink alcohol so they can become popular and well-known in their school. People who drink alcohol think that they can
forget their problems and travel far away from reality. I think that drinking alcohol is extremely dreadful because it can turn into a long lasting addiction that can harm you
psychologically and physically. In other words, when a person drinks, he/she may lose his/her 5 senses, and won't be able to think. Most teenagers agree that they will follow a
peer's decision rather than their parents'. Peers are more influential in a teen's life and tend to have more power than parents. Peer pressure has always been present and will also
always be present. It is not a disease or a crime, it is an influence; either a negative or a positive one. Negative peer pressure is an influence put on a person to do something
wrong, or something the person doesn't want to do. This may be stealing, taking drugs, or other dangerous.
