As a teenager we need to enjoy every second of our lives. Especially now that we are in the very interesting part of our life and that is being a teenager. Nowadays we can see teenagers grow in the world of technology. Teenagers now are very fortunate because they have all the latest gadgets in our country. One of its examples are smart phones,laptops,tablets, etc.. But teenagers nowadays are very prone into smoking and drinking and some teenagers started using prohibited drugs as well. And the saddest part is that a lot of them is under going teenaged pregnancy and this is a serious problem. Hopefully, Some teenagers will just be addicted to some other things and not to any drugs and illegal stuffs.

This is all true.
I'm a bit sad that teenagers are so engrossed in technology that they sometimes ignore the more important things in life. They are so blessed that often they become spoiled and they do irrational things then regret it later. Such as teenage pregnancy, why do they engage in things that they know would give them hardships in the future? Why are kids so want to grow up fast but complain about having too many responsibilities?
It's all so ironic. Teenagers need guidance from people they trust and respect. Older people should be better role models for young people because they are the main reason why teens behave the way they do. They have a huge influence on young people.

I think the only bad thing I did as a teenager was steal from my father, he never found out, and the guilt played too much on my mind that I put the money back, I don't think I ever rebelled as a teenager, but I didn't enjoy my teenage years, I was single throughout my teens and I was over-weight. The plus side was that I got a job as soon as I left school. I wouldn't want to be a teenager again though. I also remember how time seemed to go slowly too. Now It flies past.

Society changes so much over the years. it bris changes to our children;s lives as well. teens face a lot of different issues than they did even ten years ago. there is so much to learn and to say and being a responsible teen is not always an easy task to perform. it has hardships as well as joy along the way.

I hated being a teenager. If I were to go back into time right now, the only thing I'd change is my attitude towards the bullies that messed with me. Among other things!

Being teenager is one the greatest moment of ones life. This is the stage of life wherein you are very adventurous and enthusiastic to deal with life's challenges. It is also the time wherein, sometimes you are confused, imbalance, emotionally unstable, and you can't just easily do your part as a teenager for so many reasons and hindrances. However, this chapter in life is very exciting. So, live your life meaningful as a teenager, because your future depends here.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well yes u are absolutely right, teenage life is one of the most important phase in life as it is during this phase where u get exposed to the real world.
While some get exposed to the positive world others get influenced by the negative habits which u have mentioned. This is the reason why the crime rate has also escalated. So the teenagers have to be watchful during this phase and take decisions wisely.
What say?

It's right that youth on our generations are engaged into different vices unlike with the teenagers before. There are more pleasurable things than this vices that maybe today it doesn't affect our health and relationship with other people but later on we'll realize and regret it. My parents were aware of this things and im really lucky and glad to have them because they never fail to give us lessons and teachings that will help us in engineering our lives. Being on this stage is a critical part of our lives this is when our curiosity comes out and we need a proper guidance from the elders. Parents your little boys and girls are now on their critical stage they need you in order to shape their lives.
