Teen Life

XII-H , National College "Elena Cuza", Craiova, 2012

         Teen life is not just a fun stage. A teenager stage is really a beautiful stage full of responsibility and calling for fast growth. Teenage life is spoilt by falling for peer pressure and searching for love in the wrong places. There is a lot of pressure to be a great child and get your life in order and on the other hand lots of peer pressure from friends to belong to the crowd. Every young person has to be strong enough to be his/her own person. It's a difficult decision with consequences. Your company as a teen can make or break you. You have to be very careful when choosing friends and deciding on teenage relationships.
         As a teenager, this is the beginning of your life. What you do today determines your whole future. There is no mom or dad to decide on your choices anymore. You have to make up your own mind on which school to go to and what kind of future you choose. You are literally on your own when it comes to making better choices. The adults in your life may be there to guide you but the critical life decisions are on your shoulders

Should you decide to take too much alcohol, smoke, have unprotected sex, etc you will have to face the consequences alone. Whatever choices one makes, they reap the rewards. Smoking does cause cancer and unprotected sex does lead to pregnancy or worse, sexually transmitted diseases. Whilst standing your ground is difficult when all your peers start experimenting with bad substances, it has great rewards. Teenage stage is an exciting yet dangerous time and learning curve. So many new things to get exposed to, so much to gain yet so much to lose. Some choose to listen to the advices they get from parents and other wise adults and some sadly choose drugs, gangsterism and unprotected sex, etc.

Basically one chooses the direction they want their lives to take. Making good choices in relationships, career, health and overall wellness will set the pace for your entire life. You have the power to make your life what you want it to be. If you have made major mistakes already, don't despair. We all make mistakes and start all over. It's never too late to make a fresh start.
