‘The teenage years are the best years of one’s life.’

I agree with this view. I feel that teenage years are the most enjoyable years of anyone’s life. Those years are a new start of a new experience where it cannot be felt anytime else.

Firstly, the teenage years are the best years of one’s life. When people reach teenage years, they have the most freedom than the people of the other age groups. Children are too young. They are not mature enough to make the right decisions. Adults also have less freedom due to the fact they are all have responsibilities like work, family and monetary issues to bother them. Their freedom is very limited too due to the problems plaguing them. Thus, teenagers are in the most carefree times of their lives and thus should thoroughly enjoy it.

Secondly, during our teenage years, we only have to concentrate on studies and not have to worry about other responsibilities such as monetary and working opportunity. Teenagers are also pretty much sheltered from the harsh real world. One of the examples is the power struggle in a company where everyone wants to get to the top. All they will think of is means and ways to push people down and climb up the social ladder. Compare this to school, where It is still quite pure and innocent where there is little or no struggle for positions. Without these matters to plague them, teenagers of course have every opportunity to enjoy themselves.

Lastly, they are still in their comfort zone where they can do almost anything they like. When they start working, they would have to listen to their superiors even when they feel that the latter is not right and have to meet the deadline punctually. If they defied orders, they may lose their job and thus pay a heavy price. During the teenage years where teenagers are still schooling, teachers would only scold them or sent them for detention if they do not submit their homework on time. The consequences are not as big as when they start working. Thus, as a teenager, one could make mistakes and still will not be punished severely. It gives much more learning space as they do not feel as much stress and setback should they do something wrong and would likely learn from their mistakes so that they do repeat them again. Its better to learn things this way then through the hard way.
In conclusion, teenage years are the best years of one’s life. Therefore, you must treasure the time when you are a teenager, as It is a once in a life time experience and once past, never to return again
