I guess the biggest challenge for me was my shyness and lack of confidence, it is very hard when one is so shy, most fellas would not put that extra time into dating someone so shy when there were girls so willing to chase what they wanted...

shyness is one thing I never had and somehow every single person in all my classes felt comfortable around me. So how do you cope with it?

gee I don't remember, I think it was just living day to day without being teased for being fat and rejected by the boys.

My biggest challenge as a teenager was my shyness. I was too shy to talk to the boys, and it was hard for me to find friends, because I hated myself and I didn't think that I was worth spending time with. It was also a challenge for me to handle school. I was too shy to speak in class and I tried very hard to avoid any kind of attention. My classmates didn't really know me, they didn't dislike me or bully me, but I was really quiet and I didn't participate much in their social activities.

My biggest challenge was how to develop my self-esteem and self-confidence. Ever since i was a child, i am very shy and would normally not want to mingle with other people. Another challenge for me, was my leadership skills, on my teenager years because i'm a shy type person, most of classmates, friends would not bother to respect me. Although i am intelligent,caring one, i lack the skills of leadership humor. But all through these i have tend to develop and improve it. Now, i can say i am not that old who lacks self esteem and confidence.

Hi.
I never thought that having leadership qualities were that important in my teen years. But yes if you have them, it is much better. Thanks for your response.

Challenges faced right from early childhood through the adolescent and adulthood have been lack of fortune to carve out a decent living.

Hello, coolmailraj.
My biggest trouble, that I am facing right now, is something called love competition. Something silly that gets into my mind sometimes and takes the joy of things. But nothing that I can't handle. I'm a very happy teen, different from many that are depressive and all. However, it sucks when you like a girl and she seems to like another guy. And all you hear is yourself being compared to the other guy, by folks that know how you feel: "Edward sucks. But him? Oh, he is great.". I have heard already people that told me that I am not enough, that I can't beat the other guy, that I have lost. But I learn how to deal with it. Anyway, this is the biggest problem. Not for long, though.
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

Hello coolmailraj! I was the behave highschool girl in school. I wasn't involve to those bad activities, I didn't go to the disco(unless we are required to attend) and never got a boyfriend (my parents are so strict). So I think the only biggest challenge that I faced during those times is myself.

I think the biggest challenge for my teen years so far has been legal problems and being on probation. I don't really cause any trouble it's just stupid charges that I don't really agree with. I don't know though because life goes on and my life is still going great. Problems are really easy to overcome and there's always something to look forward to in the future.

I think that my biggest problem was a lack of confidence in high school. I wasn't really well liked until maybe my junior year and may lack of confidence was likely the main reason. I didn't have too much pimples and I think that I stayed away from bad company mainly because I was so dedicated to baseball and swimming. Good luck and happy mylotting.

Being a sportsperson you lacked confidence. I have always felt that confidence is something that is as special as skills in sports.

Being shy was my biggest hurdle while riding the high school wave. Besides that it was a smooth breeze, I wasn't a big adept of sport, only the mandatory for all, bad company never searched me.
Girls weren't that around me, since talking wasn't my strong point, but still I got a special one, I have to say I got lucky.

Hi.
Smooth ride as a teenager is really hard to have and yes, if you got lucky then there is nothing you can actually ask for more.

yes I agree that this is the biggest challenge yet I don't know that if you totally stayed out of them, you would learn anything because sometimes when you are with bad people you'll learn how their beliefs and how they think and then how do you blend with these people and not get taken advantage of. Let's face it.You'll meet these people in your life.

As far as I can remember, the biggest challenge was having trouble with a relationship before facing a big exam, you have to cope with the heart pain and studying stress at the same time.The heart pain can really make me so down that I don't have the mood to revise.
