Pressure help: Why is teenage life rubbish? - Help.com

being a teenager sucks.i dont miss it at all.i eventually stopped worrying about what others think of me.the only opinions that matter to me are mine and those of the people closest to me.stay true to yourself and things will work out ok.

how old are you?

Just wait it out. My teenage life was pretty rubbish too, for the reasons you mentioned. You might not realise it now but when you get older (not much either, just about 19/20) you’ll have changed so much and a lot of stuff will have figured itself out on its own. You will become your own person, it just takes a little time.

You can be yourself. No one can make you feel any better or less about yourself. Im a teenager so I know exactly what you are going through. Dont be pressured to be something you’re not. Be yourself. If people dont accept you for who you are, then they are not true friends. Try your best at your school work and if you need help, then get it. I know you want to be successful in your life, so you will need an education. As far as trying to fit in, don’t. Be a loyal, caring and understanding person to others, and you will receive the same in return. Trust me, you will find true friends, and also some who are not. Its just up to you to keep them out of your personal space. Look at life in a positive way. Make the best out of your situation, and try your best at life. As a teen you will go through struggles, but its all a part of going up. You will be faced with new obstacles, but you have to face it. Just trust in God and pray as you go through life. He will guide and direct your path.

i know how you feel. im 14, and classified as a hippie. but i dont care, i just hope life will be better…

yea teenage life is hard…im 15 and these past months have been hell. gotten into so much trouble but things blow over :]]

im not really sure that being an adult is any way better. then you ve got other pressures, to find a job, to work hard, to deal with all those adult issues. to be honest, i didnt have the best teenage life either, but compared to what im living now, i wish i was a teenager again. enjoy what u r living as long as u can, and dont worry too much about what other ppl might say, what matters is how u see yourself, and that’s a lesson you are going to have to learn for life. you will need it.
