– What’s going on in there?: “Very smart adolescents will do very stupid things in a very impulsive way”…Is it just hormonal time bombs?
In today’s world, teenagers have many decisions to make and difficult tasks to perform. … In these circumstances you are forced to make compromises with yourselves…
As a teenager, you may be dealing with lots of emotional highs and lows. One minute you might feel great, the next you feel sad and tearful. This kind of shift in your moods is okay!
Your life is changing, just like your body. These mood swings are not just hormones – you may be feeling a lot more pressure these days, and you are still developing the skills you need to deal with that pressure. You may be facing added responsibilities at home, tougher grading policies in school, and your friends may be changing.
As you grow older you will develop the skills you need to manage stress, but for now, just remember you are in a tough spot and need all the support you can get. Reach out to adults and friends – there is always someone there who cares for you.
Like emotions, everyone has some sort of relationship with other people. Unless you are a castaway on an island, you interact with people everyday. Relationships with parents, friends, and significant others (like a boyfriend or girlfriend) can be rewarding and also frustrating. Just go on, learning from your experiences…
But,…let’s face all this with a sense of humour!
HOW TO HAVE A GOOD TEEN LIFE
Steps
Have a healthy social life.As simple as this may be, a healthy social life is the key to enjoying your life in spite of the stress of school. Try to make at least two best friends, and try to make many friends from your gender and two or three the opposite gender for diversity. Go to teen clubs and places; this will be the best interaction with other teenagers or people around your age.
Have hobbies at home. Sew, read, play computer games, draw, or do yoga. Get a and/or Facebook account, but try not to get addicted to it. Make videos with your friends and post them on YouTube. Check online to see the hottest new music and the coolest new artists and songs of your genre of choice. You don’t have to be a fan of pop music only; if you like to listen to your grandma’s ’50s doo wop albums or some nice relaxing smooth jazz or Bob Marley, go ahead Be a fan of your favorite sports team. Find whatever you enjoy doing and do it! Start a movie or book collection.
Be creative. Show off your talents. Write music, write stories and poems, create cool drawings, learn how to create web pages and computer programs, create your own clothes, cook, bake, work on a car, play an instrument, etc.
Think of your own fashion. Be yourself and see what looks good on you (makeup and clothing attire). Whether it’s face makeup (lip gloss and mascara) or body lotion, you got to be decent out the door, right?
Watch what you eat.Eat healthy foods and use junk foods either in moderation or as a treat. Try to have a good amount of water in your system and eat at least one big meal a day; more if you have high metabolism or in sports.
Study hard in school. Always turn in your homework on time and do well on tests. Education is the most important thing in your life; doing poorly, not trying, or dropping out of school can hurt your future in a significant way. If you are getting bad grades because you are struggling with something, get help. But if you are just being lazy, or procrastinating, it can certainly affect your college and career opportunities in the future.
Get involved. School has many things for you to become involved in and have fun doing. Getting involved will help you in future years(look good on your college application) and you’ll meet a lot of people. Like chess? You can be in the chess club, if the school doesn’t have a club you wish you were in (say bowling club) you can create your own! This will help you be motivated in school.
Listen to your parents. Yes, as crazy as it sounds, it will make your life so much more easy and enjoyable if you just listen to your parents, so you don’t have to hear them keep yelling at you! Obeying them will actually be an easy way into getting what you want, remember it has to be a 50/50 cooperation, not 80/20. You parents might be not be as up to date as you, but they may give you good timeless advice. They are in the real world, not the “surreal teen world”. They had been teenagers just like you and you don’t want to know what they did in high school, but they had learned from their mistakes which makes them the stodgy parents you have today. Just wait, you’ll become the stodgy parent too when you have your own kids.
