What is it like to be a 21st century teen?

Being a 21st century teenager is fun and I get to do a lot of things compare to the 80's which means my parents time when they are teenagers. Now as a 21st century teen, we have more technology. We can communicate by mobile phone, computers, or even i pod touch. During those times, they have to go to their friends house if they want to communicate.

Other than the communication and the technology, is the number of people. Of course its true that the future will have more people so that means more friends and more enemies. If you want to compare the past and now, I think the 21st century is better. If you were in the past you can only go to around the neighborhood you are living in. So that means same friends and same enemy for quite a long period of time. As for now, you get to travel overseas and get more friends easily. And that for some reason will make you think being a 21st century teen makes you feel better.

Some 21st century teen are addicted to computer games and like to do illegal stuff like trading drugs and smoking. They do this to make them look cool. This is because if you want to get fame, you have to be cool and get everyone in that area to like you as the best. So that why people in the 21st century are so bad and willing to get power all for themselves. For those who aren't greedy for power, will usually run away and get as much help as possible. Even their studies are bad because of their bad habits. People often like to go into gang fights especially when they are around age sixteen to eighteen. And these bad habits will affect their future as a 21st century teenager.

So overall I am saying that all this is what is like to be a 21st century teen and I am enjoying it except the homeworks and teachers lecturing. It's a tough life but I need to live on as a 21st century teen.

My life as a teenager

My life as a teenager is quite torturing for me.Even though some adults say it is not torturing for us but people are different. Some of us teenagers are not as smart as some of our parents when they were as young as us. So it's not going well in my life as a teenager.

Sometimes it is quite depressing as a teenager because we are too rebellious and we don't know it. So by the time you know everything you have done, you will feel very depressed. That is why is say being a teenager is quite depressing. Because we are rebellious, we tend to do a lot of mistakes and be too stubborn and not obedient. During some of the times as a teenager, I also become stubborn and rebellious to my friends and family. Because of that, I sometimes get hated then I become depressed.

Other than depressing, we have school which of course gives homework. I've also heard some cases of people who hates homework and some give up or commit suicide but I dare not. Even if I dare not do any of it, I still hate homeworks. So a lot of teenagers like to play games to relax themselves including myself. But even though I play a lot, most parents would say, "work hard,play hard"

Further more, some times I argue with my parents about some of the things that is related to the family and I also get in fights a lot. Sometimes when I go to shopping malls I become quite stubborn. I don't why but I do things like running around the shopping mall and do something i'm not suppose to do like leaving the group or not listening to advice given by friends or my family.My life as a teenager is quite torturing for me.Even though some adults say it is not torturing for us but people are different. Some of us teenagers are not as smart as some of our parents when they were as young as us. So it's not going well in my life as a teenager.

So that's basically that my teenage life. And further more, some times I argue with my parents about some of the things that is related to the family and I also get in fights a lot. Sometimes when I go to shopping malls I become quite stubborn. I don't why but I do things like running around the shopping mall and do something i'm not suppose to do like leaving the group or not listening to advice given by friends or my family.
