Teenagers today are undergoing lots of physical and emotional changes. They are

subjected to physical growth and hormonal changes. Nevertheless, being a teenager is

just a normal and unavoidable part of life.

Though the teenage life is full of happiness and sadness, enjoyment and frustrations,

it can be interesting! Making friends is part and parcel of a teenager’s life. The

teenager should enjoy life by making friends with peers and participate in healthy activities

such as camping, jogging, playing football, swimming and so on. Socialising

with friends, a teenager learns to make decisions, to joke, laugh and play to release

stress and tension. By making friends, the teenager learns to sweeten his or her joys or

to ease the bitterness of life troubles.

Many teenagers are very conscious of their appearance. It is at this part of their life

that beauty strikes as the main self-image. They love to follow up with the latest trends

for clothes, hairstyle and try to look good. Some girls and boys go on a crash diet to

slim down in order to look attractive. Others may suffer from acne and pimples that

may scar their external beauty.

Another stage is the teenagers’ attitude to love. There are chemical changes in the

body and so the teenagers tend to fall in love and have relationship. They experience

love and rejection. These sometimes affect their studies.

Parents tend to control their freedom and often say no to what the teenagers do.

Hence, we have cases of disagreements, disputes or quarrels. Both parents and their

teenage children should try to understand and support each other.

The mass media and the Internet also influence the lives of many teenagers. Violent

action movies and computer games surfed from the Internet can bring a disastrous effect

on a teenager’s life. There will be more harm than good if nothing is done.
