Being a teen today- hard/easy

Is it easier or harder to be a teen in this day and age when there is less restrictions on how to go about being young? are today’s youth as responsible as those of years past?

Answer #1

Harder, lots of teens have less responsibilities and less strict guardians, so they are forced to parent themselves, and learn the hard way.

Answer #2

I remember my teen years as though it was yesterday. Life was much simpler then and it seems to me, we had more guidance and security.

Answer #3

it depends how you look at life. for some, things come easily, and responsibility isnt a big issue. for others its the opposite.. life is just life. teen or not, I dont think it makes a difference.

Answer #4

I would say harder because of the state of the economy,you have to have really good grades now just to get basic apprenticeship/job when you leave your education,because of the increase competition,plus they are loads of unemployed people with more work experience going for job vacancies making even harder for teens to get work. I don’t believe the youth of yesterday were more responsible then the youth of today,ps I maybe wrong because I was not around then!!!

I think it is the same on average, but more up and down..

..we can have lots of fun with technology and travelling more and doing more things..

..but other times can be really hard and stressfull, exams are so important these dayys and parents leave there kids to fend for themselves more and learn the hard way

also things teens will do will effect the rest of their lives whereas before you could easily get a good job without GCSE’s, A levelsand so on.

Answer #6

harder. too many restrictions, too many ‘laws’. if we could all just be chill like past generations about sh!t then we wouldnt be so dependent upon our parents. we need to be able to make mistakes without it messing up our future so we can learn from them. most of us arnt responsible worth sh!t.
