The pros and cons of being a teenager.

Hello guys, today I wanted to talk about something that has been on my mind recently. I wanted to share this experience of mine to explain what has been going on inside my head, or any other teen's head. So they say this phase of your life starts at 13 years old, but with human's evolution, I suppose we have entered it a lot younger. Of course it depends of the person, how the hormones are developing, how everything is maturing. with that said, I would like to start off and share what are the pros and cons of being one today, in this modern society.

Let's start off with the positive sides of this period.
PROS

.  You are maturing.
You are growing up to become the greatest version of you.

.  You become aware of your mistakes.
the mistakes you did as a kid start to explain themselves, and you try and avoid making them, or try and fix them.

.  You become aware of who you are.
You start to take interest in new things, you start the newest chapter of your life by meeting new people and exploring your world.

.  You learn how to express yourself.
You grasp new phrases and words every day. you explore your style of explaining things, talking to people, learning formal and street language.

.  You're basically having the time of your life.
This is the best experience everyone could own. The period when you acknowledge yourself and passions, the period when you find your friends that will last forever. this is the best time of our lives and we should cherish it for all of its pros and cons


CONS

.  No one actually understands you.
Nowadays, tends and social medias have influenced on our behavior, style, habits, routines and basically everything we do. Some people care a lot about those things, and all they care about is their popularity and followers growth. To contrast, other people only care about being happy, and as long as their world is in peace, they will be too. It doesn't matter what kind of person are you really, you cannot be sort of a kind, because I believe that each person is one of a kind. So to all of those older people I'd seem crazy, and I want teenagers to understand that they have lived in a different world back in their days. Sometimes parents or relatives could assume that something is crazy just because they don't understand it.

.  You are having raging hormones.
I call them raging hormones because they make you do stuff you never thought you'd do. Having those hormones usually results in various mood swings, anxiety, and anger.
