The Life of a Teenager Today

Playing the Hand That Life Deals

Being a teen is harder than being a kid. Kids play all day long, but teens have other things to worry about. Teens get lots of peer pressure in high school. That’s why I am home-schooled.

Sometimes I think about the TV shows I watched when I was younger and I feel silly. If you thought, “I used to cry when Barney was over,” you’d feel silly, too, wouldn’t you?

The transition between a kid becoming a teen is the hardest part. The mind changes and the “growing up” changes are enough to freak anyone out. I don’t think being a teen is as bad for me as it is for others. I eat healthy foods like fruits and veggies, and I drink a lot of water. I don’t eat bad stuff like candy, chips, and salty or junky food. I don’t drink soda either. I don’t get many pimples. I brush my teeth a lot, and I don’t have any cavities. I don’t get sick much. I think my daily dose of garlic and fish oil keeps me healthy.

I’ll just play the hand that life deals me.
