To be a teenager in 2014

Teenagers are our future, teenagers are our hope! Being a teenager in a new century, you have to face many things. In 2014, the responsibilities of teenagers will be more important and the society will affect them more and more. So how is it to be a teenager in a new century?

I think being a teenager in a new century is both good and bad. Society today gives them so much happiness, at the same time,it also gives them many problems.

Many people say that teenagers today are very happy, why? First, the development of science and new technology help them a lot. Internet today gives them lots of learning space, so that they can find all the informations they want. Internet today can also help the teenagers to improve their skills and to expand their ideas and visions. Nowadays, communicating on the internet also ties the teenagers together. Secondly, they live in a better life than before. Now they can get all the things they want. Thirdly, the society today gives them many possibilities, possibilities to try, possibilities to do what they want and possibilities to know this world. 

 

On the other hand, many people say that teenagers are not so happy today. Society today gives them so much happiness, at the same time, it also gives them many problems. One thing is stress. Many teenagers feel stressed because of learning and many of them have no goal to reach, they feel that it is difficult to find a job. Being a teenager in a new century, they must have much knowledge, there is a big competition between the teenagers, so they have to study all the time, and therefore they have so much stress. Another thing is internet. Internet can make teenagers to depend on the fictitious world and this can be very dangerous for them. Because many teenagers like staying in the fictional world instead of seeing the reality in the life. They can feel very scared and get many health problems if they use too much internet. The last thing is personal appearance. Many teenagers are not satisfied with their appearance today. They want to have luxuries, best friend and the best appearance. Because that they don’t want others to look down them. So these things can give them more and more pressure. 

 

This is the positive and negative about being a teenager in a new century. However, the teenagers have to face these things today. They must learn to live with the positive and the negative things and try to solve these. So they have to learn many things. First is goal. . Having a goal can help you to get energy to go on. Like Brian Tracy said: Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement. Having a goal can guide you the place where you are going. Secondly is positive attitude, the pessimist can be eliminated in this new century. And positive attitude can make things easier. Thirdly is quality. As teenagers, they should be kind and have a sincere heart. Because of that they can prepare themselves for many situations in their lives. Everyone likes the teenagers who behave well and who have a good mentality. The last is grit. If you want to succeed in this new time, you have to persist on and don’t give up, the grit is the goal to get succeed. 

 

This is how to it is to be a teenager in a new century. Now it is 2014! So to all the teenagers, I want to say that save your power and do your best in the 2014!
