I'm not saying that the life of a teenager is easier than an adults because we don't have to pay bills or work over time or even work through the summer vacations like our parents do.
What I do think is that the life of a teen as well as the life of an adult are both challenging. They both have their ups an downs and their similarities and differences.
For me I can only speak on the life of a teen. I think being a teenage girl can e immensely overwhelming at times. Some days you feel as though you're on top of everything and other days you just want to cry yourself to sleep and hope you don't even wake up in the morning. Well that's how it is for me.
There are days where I definitely feel as though nothing can go wrong.
Example :
On a date with someone you really like
A shopping date with your mom
Ice cream or a movie with friends or family
Partying with your girls etc
But then some days life has its own plans and switches everything up. Sometimes it seems like the end of the world. I call these tests and I think life/God is just trying to show you how strong you are. At first it may seem unbearable but looking back you see how much this "test" has made you grow.
Be strong :)

This is really true. Tough times happen in life for very God-given reasons. They help us grow stronger and wiser, and help us see that God really is the only answer in a world so corrupt. This was a good blog!
ReplyDeletei used to wonder why He'd let me go through such trying times. but now i realize He didn't stop the bad stuff from happening because He knew it'd make me stronger. thanks for this :)
ReplyDeleteI think every age/stage of life has its own unique challenges. I have no doubt that the gender difference issues are certainly significant also. I think it is incredibly important to treasure the good times - which are often the simple things in life. Tough times will inevitably turn up and sometimes it is just a case of 'weathering the storm' until the sun comes out again.
