Growing Up
Please respond to both questions: Why do you think growing up, as a teenager, this day and age, can be so difficult or such challenge? What is the one thing you wish for, (seriously), during this time in your life?

I think growing up, as a teenager, these days is so hard because, of some of the new tecnology, such as My Space and the dangers online. When kids grow up, these days, they have to worry about things like locking the door when they are home alone or leaving the house. A while back, when the communities were smaller and most people knew each other, you didn’t have to worry about rodders or kidnappers much. The main reason that growing up, these days, is so much harder is because of how many more dangers there are. I think throughout my life my deepest wish is to make great friends and keep them all my life. When ever I am having a bad day my friends are there to cheer my up and I never want to lose that. When I started high school this year I got to see friends I haven’t seen in three years. Just today I found out one girl I had seen in the hall a couple of times was one of my friends from elementery school and she looked so different I hadn’t recognized her. But it is nice to know I am still laughing with some of my friends from elementery school ever though it has been a while were still the same people inside.
I think there are many reasons that growing up as a teenager can be hard and also not so hard for me personaly. First because it is hard because you go through usually 2 schools when you are at this age and it is hard to get to know everyone. Also because there is a lot of work involved with school and maybe a lot of stress can result from that. Also there can be a lot of pressure from parents or teachers to do well in school and that also can result in stress. It can also be easy to be a teenager too. You get more privledges as teenager than as kid this a nice thing. So there are benefits to being a teenager and hardships of it too.
Growing up now as a teenager is very difficult. Most kids have tons of homework which is takes up the majority of their time resulting in stress. When you try to make free time, it normally ends up at the end of the day and then you stay up later getting less sleep making it hard to consentrate at school. Then you do bad at school and your parents get mad at you about your grades and that puts more stess on you. Also when you grow up you have more responsibility and it is challenging to handle it sometimes. I wish that I will always keep a positive attitude towards things because it makes life more enjoyable.
Growing up as a teenager in this day and age is difficult. We have a lot of expectations and because we live in a different time. Being a teenager is hard because we have a lot of things going on during this time, hormones and trying to fit in and finding ourselves in the world. There is a lot of pressure on us at this time. We’re changing and we have to deal with all the school work and drama in our lives. I wish I had more independence right now. I can't walk to school by myself because there is too much danger that could happen. I wish that I could feel free to do anything I want without having to worry about what could happen to me. This day and age it is different to grow up as a teenager, because we have a lot of weight on our shoulders.
Growing up as a teenager is a difficult task that everyone has to go through in life. It isn't like anyone has just skipped their teen years and just go straight to 20. We all have challenges such as school,sports, and maybe even a job. I am truly starting to develop mentally and physically. I even have seen other people developing so fast that they even look like my dad. Teenagers are nieve, they can never be trusted with a privelege. I am not the best responsibility-taker, but I am not stupid. I have seen young teens giving out their personal information on the Internet multiple times. Those people are the ones that need to learn about self-protection. Teenage life is just a phase that we all go through. We all have to deal with it if you like it or not.
Growing up as a teenager! Many people ask, is growing up now days hard? I whould definatly say yes. It is really hard when most teens are juggeling so many different activites including sports, grades, friends, family, relationships, and then that personal time. I think that teenagers are day in age, have a difficult time trying to grow up. We are trying to find that place in the world where we belong. We are still struggeling with what is right and wrong. Sometimes we crumble under the preasure of our family and friends and sometimes we get tempted to do the wrong things. Adults always tell their children and other children to stay away from drugs, sex, and alcohol. I don't think that they relize that, well from at least my point and view, especially at Arapahoe there are not as many kids drinking alcohol as parents think. I have thought and thought and now have decided that my generation has looked upon the generations before them and seen how doing all the bad things has affected their lifes in such a negative aspect that they dont want to ruin their life by makeing stupid decisions. I think that that is the hardest part about growning up as a teenager, these days. Adults need to relize that we have control, and maybe just need to trust us a little bit more, and we as teenagers need to take that responsibility and control of what our future holds, by the decisions we make for ourselfs.
