Being a Teen

Everyone in some point of their lives will be a teenager. Being a teenager comes with tons of responsibilities and many important choices to be made, also there will be major changes in our lifestyle.

The older you get, to more people will expect from you, but when you are a teenager, that is not always an easy thing to fulfill. When you are 13, you start high school and there, you will have to adjust to the higher expectations and the pressure to perform well in all areas of achievement. Students will start to join sports teams, bands, choirs, orchestras. The competition among the students will be higher, but during this time, humans will have their major growth spurt and thus, they need more sleep, but with the extra tasks that they need to accomplish.

From the easy life of a elementary student to the tough workloads of a high school student, student's lifestyles will take on a dramatic change. The high school student will need to much more conscious of how effectively they use their time and they will need to eat more. When becoming a teenager, we will have a much more social lifestyle which means we will be much more likely to chat with our friends online or over the phone and we will aim to spend more time with them. This will also consume more of the limited time we have. Peer pressure also plays a role in how we will react to the changes. If less time is spend with our friends, our social networks might become looser and looser which could potentially lead to us having low self esteem if we lack the support of the people who were once our friends. Of course that does not mean we should completely give up our schoolwork and go hang our with our friends, but teenagers will need to pass this incredible balancing act to be successful in their life.
