Life of a Teenager
The period of adolescence is nestled between childhood and adulthood. Teenagers no longer intend to play like children but don’t yet have the knowledge and experience to be fully engaged in adult pursuits. Youth is one of the most precious periods of a person’s life, and yet one of the most difficult.
A young person is like fire. With direction and guidance, he or she can change the very shape of the world. Without direction, the fires of youth are wasted at best, while at worst, they can become a dangerous, destructive force. To lead a meaningful life means harnessing the fires of youth but first, we must understand the purpose of youth itself.
Teenagers often think, “I can change the world.” Adults, burdened with the pressures of everyday life, convince themselves that the world is just the way it is, but young people cannot tolerate such resignation. This is the constant conflict between the two groups: young people abhor the status quo, while adults’ lives revolve around it. It is critical that they find a mentor to trust, who will appreciate their strengths and potential and can help motivate them to achieve their dreams.
