As youths, we don't have to work, or run a family, or be bothered about the stock market and current affairs, or have the burden of earning money to survive.
Even so, being a youth is not easy. It's a time of ups and downs, and being full of self-consciousness and hormones and sensitivity, things can really get us down. And if we don't know what to do, or how to hold ourselves together, we'll just hit rock bottom. Why? Because we're youths. We're inexperienced, and don't know how to solve problems the right way. When we're faced with hardships and defeats, we usually just give up because we just can't take it.
And that's not all. We're under immense pressure from our families, peers, and not to mention ourselves. Mainly because we want to please people. We want to please our parents by doing well in school, we want to be accepted by everyone and have plenty of friends, we want to be at the top of everything to feel good about ourselves. If we're unable to achieve these things, we feel like a failure.
By the time we reach adulthood, however, these things won't bother us anymore. Why? Because by then, we'd have gone through a handful of unpleasant situations and learned a lesson or two the hard way. The hardships we went through during our youth would have chiseled us into a tough, hard rock, and we can face our adulthood with maturity and resilience.
So, you get my drift. Youths don't have life easy, because going through teenagehood is like going through grueling training before a huge tournament. We are stretched, torn, run down, overwhelmed. But it'll all work out for the better. The more we learn, the better we'll be. So take each problem and set-back you face into perspective, and remember that it's a life-long lesson in disguise.
I know this is a little awkward to read... it's not my usual style. I don't even feel like my normal self as I'm writing this... Must be the asparagus overdose from lunch. :)
