Being a teenager is definitely a tough life. With the handling of projects, homework and of course peer pressure, how can one individual not be stressed with his/her daily life. I have just stepped into secondary school and I am gettting the taste of a teenager's life. I am definitely missing primary school days. However, we can only move forward in life and not backwards in life.
Teenagers can easily be stressed especially if they are in one of the top schools. They have to burn the midnight oil in order to finish their homework due to their long duration in school. This is the main problem teenagers face thus resulting them to be depressed as they have not completed their homework.
Peer pressure is what most humans face- from children to adults. But this has a greater impact on teenagers. Peer pressure can happen when you are not sure of whether you want to do that particular task and your friend or peer starts forcing you. I really think that teenagers should be brave and have a mind of their own to decide on what they want to do and have a strong stand with their decision.
Teenagers also start having feelings towards the opposite gender as they grow older. This will also result in them not performing well in their examinations. This will also cause them to become depressed as their parents would be punishing and adivisng them. When teenagers are depressed, they might tend to harm themselves bu cutting their hand and etc. To prevent this from happening, they should consult an adult whom they can rely on or a counselor to share their feelings with. This will help them to tackle the problems they are facing better. However,most teenagers are not comfortable approaching them as they believe that their friends can do a better job since they are of the same age and would probably be on the same plight as them and understand them better than the adults. But this is the question. How can a person the same age as you possibly give an advice better than that of an adult? I surely think that teenagers should be guided. This will of course make them a better person in the society.
