Hello there. Do you realize that your teenagehood isn’t just about the acne on your face neither is it about the angst/frustration you feel. As you busy yourself taking risks, talking back to our parents, trying out new things and meeting societal demands, it’s important that you bear in mind that there is more to this beautiful and very important period in your life. Read along to see reasons why being a teenager is something great.
It’S A HAPPY BALANCE: Your teenagehood is the only time in your life when you find a happy balance between childhood and adulthood. You can blame your immaturity for the childish things you do but still use the ‘I am almost an adult’ card whenever it’s convenient. Indeed, teenagehood is like the anchors that tie together your childhood and your adult life.
AN EXCUSE TO TRY DIFFERENT THINGS: Teenagehood comes with much exploration opportunities! Little wonder you guys can change your hairdo/fashion styles whenever and however you please. The reason for this is because you have to try it all in order to find that style which depicts your true identities. This period of change is called ‘phases’ and everybody go through them; no matter how embarrassing…
LIFE IS FILLED WITH EXCITING NEW THINGS: For some of you guys, teenage years are the peak of your lifetimes because they are filled with many ‘firsts’; your first ever concert, your first true relationship and for some…their first car. There are lots of exciting things you might have experienced or might be experiencing which you may never get to experience during your adulthood. Hence, there is not much room for excitement. Enjoy, please!
YOU’RE ALLOWED TO MAKE MISTAKES!: Now this is interesting! This is literarily the only time in your whole life when you can make all the mistakes you want. Chances are you will not be penalized for these mistakes because…oh well you’re still a kid! In other words, adolescence is a learning experience, a preparation ground just before you are launched into the world.
MORE FREEDOM AND LESS RESPONSIBILITIES: Another good thing about being a teenager is that you finally have freedom and control over your life. You have more flexibility in taking on hobbies and as well as the type of friends you wish to hang out with without the worry of being overly influenced by your parents. They can only guide you at this time because they are already beginning to loosen their grasp on your life.
YOU’RE IN YOUR BEST SHAPE EVER!: As you have noticed, most people are in their prime and best of health during their teenage years. And that’s because your metabolism is at its best, your organs, cells and tissues are functioning normally and everything is just perfectly normal with their state of health. You look lean and in shape and beautiful and life couldn’t be any better…
Indeed, you have a lot of good things going on for you right now. And let me not forget to mention that you have the opportunity to acquire knowledge and become the best you can. You can be so much more than you can even imagine; there is a whole future ahead of you to explore and be successful in. Therefore, take every opportunity that comes your way and never forget to aspire for greatness.
Have a great weekend, people!
