Being a Teen- Good and Bad

Hi! Hey, I'm getting kinda okay at this blogging thing... :D

 Well, today I'm posting about being a teen, cause I'm a teen and so I know.

Just like every part of life, there's good and bad. Like ice cream, which is good, but the getting money for it, which is bad-ish.

So, perhaps I'll talk about good first...

Being a teenager is cool! There are a lot of things you can do now... You can get a phone (probably), you're trusted to stay home alone... There are a lot of things! (Of course, responsibility comes with those things.) You're know approaching job-age, when you can earn your way towards that awesome Nintendo 3DS (which, by the way, is really awesome, and $250). You get that awesome feeling of being almost grown-up and knowing things. Of course, each person if different, so we each get different awesomenesses when we're teens. 

Sadly, on to the dark side... (They don't have cookies!) 

You can get a phone, but... You are expected to be responsible with your minutes, and even pay for them. (How bad this is varies... I'm okay with it, I guess). You're approaching job-age, not quite there... You're not quite old enough for a job where you can get good pay and get that Nintendo 3DS in under a year (or two!). The jobs you can get are most likely low-paying, and you probably have expenses that take up half or more of your pay! Also, there are other people. Homeschool teens usually get it easier than public-school teens, but it's there: peer pressure. Maybe your clothes aren't cool enough, or you don't have a phone. The small things can make you feel uncool or outcast. (I've learned that real-life people are much nicer than school people)

I could go on about the dark side (I'm pessimistic sometimes...). But it's too... dark and sad.

Anyways, being a teen can be really awesome if you let it be... So let it be!! Get the job you can, and work, work, work towards that 3DS with the 3D top screen! Have your own style and enjoy it! A phone is a phone, right? Enjoy it, if you have one! And be responsible with everything you encounter! Life will be better for you.

Here's to being a teen...! Lee, out...!
