Being a teenager.

Personally, being a teenager is confusing, as well as hard. It's always irritating, hearing people say, "Highschool is easy, getting A's are a no big deal, so why aren't you?" like no, just go home. Also, people tend to patronize you. They think you don't have capable ideas because of your age, and I hate that. There's also the fact that people have the tendency to judge you so easily based on what they see. On top of that, there's also the worry and stress over homework and fitting in properly. Teens also get pressured into making tons of mistakes, and you have to carry all the responsibility for them. Despite that, however, being a teenager is still enjoyable. My mom is quite strict, and it takes a lot to convince her to just let me go take a bus somewhere, or even just go out to movies. But the times, I do spend time with friends is what makes being a teenager fun. There's also the internet, and the happiness that comes with it. Even if you don't get to see them, you can constantly chat and skype with people you miss, which is great. I think being a teenager is an important part of becoming who you are in the future. Overall, despite the difficulties, I have to say I enjoy being a teenager because of all the things you learn, all the things you experience and all the friends that are with you along the way, experiencing the same things you are. I definitely think my friends are one of the main reasons I'm happy.
