Is being a teenager hard?

Question

I'm 15 and I am becoming very opinionated. I can't help but I think that we shouldn't pay attention to celebrities and a whole bunch of other c**p. My parents say that being a teen is about finding yourself and I don't what it means. I go here and ask tons of questions about life and stuff and maybe thats something i have to figure out for myself. I get so opinionated and I wish it would stop and I get obsessed with celebrities too. does all this stuff stop when I get older? Please help me?

Answer 1

As you get older you will understand what's important.  It's ok to have an opinion and to be obsessed with celebrities these days, just don't let that be the focus of your life.  

Answer 2

Being a teenager IS hard.  you are still a kid but you are starting to think and feel and want to be like an adult.  I don't think you really need to worry about it.  just be yourself and things will even out when you get older. I am 26 and I only feel like I am just growing up.

Answer 3

Yeah, the teen years are filled with all kinds of transitions, emotional, physical, gaining autonomy and so on. You'll turn out OK just like 99.5% of the rest of us did. BTW, my theory as to why the teen years are so crappy is that it makes olde age look like a piece of cake!!! ;)

I'm in my 50's and there is not enough alcohol or money in the world to make me want to go back and re-live my teen years. And yeah, you shouldn't listen to celebrities, they pretty much don't live in the real world anyway  

Answer 4

i think that being a teenager is very hard like im 17 and i have a boyfriend and i wanna go live with  him but my mother doest let me theres alot of problems going on so you have to find youself sometimes i think that as you get older youll understand whats good and whats wrong and youll probably agreed  that everything your parents do and tell you is for your own good is so you can be prepare when your on your own....

Answer 5

everyone gets opinionated. that is why it is hard to be around people as you grow older.

all you can do is to follow your heart and whatever you do- do not judge other people. everyone is different. nobody is better or worse.

if you accept the differences between people, you can accept their choices. this is how you make friends.

it is easier to be a teenager if you just watch the life without judging it.
