Trying to fit in to everything
Being a teenager today is all about trying to make yourself as perfect as possible. I’m 14 years old and you can take my word for it. The tight jeans, short skirts and high-heeled shoes we wear are not comfortable. We wake up every morning wondering what to wear just to be picked on at school.
And then there’s this: If you didn’t fit in when you were younger, you never will. Because by high school, everyone has spilt up into groups and won’t dare let anyone else in.
As for the boys, their problems now are the same as they used to be. They always think about one simple thing: girls. Teenage boys will always walk up to a girl and ask her on a date usually just to be turned down.
There is one problem that affects both teenage girls and boys: peer pressure. Every teenager has friends, and some friends will push you into doing something wrong. The biggest problem is smoking and drinking. I think the world for teens has taken a turn for the worse.
