Teenage Years: Challenges and Realities

Presenting an Opinion

Many believe the teenage years are the best. However, I disagree.

Supporting Arguments

Firstly, most teenagers lack independence. They follow parental and teacher directives. Additionally, they often have limited finances.

Secondly, while teens may have fewer adult responsibilities, they face other concerns. Exam pressure can significantly impact their future.

Conclusion

All in all, despite the fun, I believe the best years come later, with a job, financial stability, and freedom.
