Teenage problems



Teenage ... reaching out to the new vistas opening before them

Teenage is a time when new vistas are opening. Activities that were taboo a few years back are now allowed.

This results in additional awareness and is one of the positive side of being a teenager.

After I became a teenager, I was given the freedom of going and coming back from school on my own.

As teenagers, we are the scapegoats for all pranks played by our juniors or seniors.

In most cases, we suffer the consequences and it is too late before we are allowed to explain. If we blame the older ones, we are tattling and if we blame the juniors, we are supposed to be taking advantage of them.

Expectations are also high and besides the fact that we are expected to do well in studies, even in subjects forced on us we are also shackled with problems and responsibilities.

The other and brighter side of the picture is our awareness of the beautiful things of life.
