Stress & Friends

Im sorry that this is really late but HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I have been really busy over the past week with birthdays and going back to school as well as moving out.
I finally have time so I thought I'd finally post something ENJOY.

These days, many teenagers face numerous problems such as depression, peer pressure, many others. Some resort to doing certain things to make themselves feel better. Sometimes, what they do may ruin their lives and they end up miserable.

One of the main problems faced by most teenagers is the problem of stress. Stress can be brought about by pressure from families.
In some families, parents pressure their children to do very well in their studies. They are given almost '24-hours' tuition and do not have enough time to relax or spend time with their friends.

Another common problem faced by teenagers is bad company. This usually happens when parents are busy with their work and do not spend enough time with their kids. Having friends is fine; however, the type of friends is what matters.
 Most of the time, teenagers are not aware of the people that they ‘chill’ with, and may fall into bad company. They follow their friends’ bad habits and may even start to constantly go behind their parents back from the age of 13-16


I feel that these problems are very serious as these problems affect the teenagers’ lives in many terrible ways. Some teenagers break down because of much stress, or ruin the lives because of peer pressure.


Teenagers should be allowed to have a mind of their own instead of always being told what to do and should know what is right and what is wrong.
