"Teenage years are the best years,"Do you agree?

Teenagers are probably the most carefree and least stressful age group in the population. Teenagers, mainly aged between ten to twenty years old, are perhaps considered the most "fortunate" years in one's lifespan. They probably do not have economic burden and need not earn money to support themselves. Personally, they always have someone to guide them along which is their parents and teachers.

Economically,the teengers need not be financially-independant as they can get financial support from their parents. In other words, the teenagers need not work in order to earn sufficent money to support themsevles financially.For example, a sixteen year old individual like me will get allowances from their parents and able to support myself financially even without working.Futhermore, unlike married adults, teenagers probably only need to support themselves and only need to ensure that their own stomachs being filled.In other words, teenagers are carefree as they do not have any children to worry about or even saving up enough money to support the child through his or her education.For example, being a teenager, i only need to worry for myself but adults most probably need to care their chidren, their work and ensuring the amount they earned is sufficent to support the whole family.


At a personal level, teenagers always get their "wants" through getting good grades and able to fufill their parents'hopes on them. In other words, they can surely get what they want if they do well as most parents will reward their childern's good grades by giving their children their "wants". However for parents it may not be the case. For example, if a child got six A1s in his o'level which meet his or her parents' expectations, he will get his new handphone as demanded by the child from the parents but for an adult, he or she must earn the amount of money in order to purchase the handphone. Therefore as illustrated above, a child lead a more carefree life as compared to a working adult. On the other hand, we must not forget the tremendous amount of stress a teenger need to endure. For example, a teenager need to endure the pressure given by parents to do well in all examinations and tests and need to balance their time between acadamic grades and their involvement in their CCAs(co-cirriculum activities). However, I feel that this stress is managable provided that the teenagers plan their time wisely and i think that doing well in tests and examinations is something that is compulsory for them if they want to find well-paid jobs in the future.

In conclusion, I feel that teengers' years are probably the best years due to the lack of economic burden. I feel that probably earning sufficent money to support the family is much more tedious than getting good grades for examinations. Reason is that by sheer hard work, it will guarantee a good grade in your examinations while it may not be the case for earning money to support the family.Without much serious problems bothering the teenagers, i agree to a large extent that teenage years are the best years.
