THE TEENAGE YEARS
Welcome to my world, the world of teens. I am Alanu
which means Merciful, I am a teenager and I will be talking about everything
from fashion to clothes to boys, love, relationships, family and heartbreak.
Today I will be talking about the teenage years.
Many parents
dread the teenage years and would do anything to spare their children the pain
and mistakes that come with those years. But these are the years that shape us
as adults, they are the years we make our choices in life and become an
individual. As hard as these years are and the many mistakes one makes, it is
still the most interesting stage of life and the most fun.
You get to choose what to do with your life, your
career, your relationships, friends and even what member of your family to
associate with. You also have the energy and time to do a lot of things like
sports, games, competitions and even parties.
These years are also filled with a lot of emotional
changes like mood swings, awareness of the opposite sex, falling in love and
heartbreaks. It may even lead to depression because some people cannot cope
with the emotional changes. All these might seem so overwhelming at times but
you can always talk to someone especially your parents.
Parents, who are supposed to be our rock during these
times, are sometimes even part of the problem. A lot of teenagers complain that
they don’t listen, they are always looking for faults and mistakes in your
decisions and life, they are over protective etc. All these make teenagers distant from their
parents rather than opening up to them. Nevertheless teenagers should pour
their hearts to their parents because they have a wealth of knowledge and experience
and they are in a better position to help.
The teenage years are also the time for physical and
psychological changes. The sexual organs will be developed, this makes one feel
awkward at times but it is all part of the growing process. There is also the
psychological development, development in your way of thinking and acting. For
example, you may start to see the world in a different way or you may start to
dress in a different way to show your individuality. All these changes can be
overwhelming but the truth is we all have to go through it.
So no matter what it is you are going through learn to
sit back, relax and enjoy the moment. The teenage years is all about growing
into yourself and becoming you. So enjoy it, make friends, talk to your
parents, do something you enjoy, make the most of those years; after all you
are only young once. Have fun and stay blessed.
MERCIFUL
