Надо написать эссе на тему: Подростковый возраст является злосчастным временем в жизни

     Adolescence is the unhappiest time in most peoples lives

Adolescence, or teenage years, is the period of time when a child is developing into an adult. Some people believe that it is the unhappiest time in a persons life, but I disagree with this opinion. To my mind, adolescence is difficult, but it is not the unhappiest time.  

Here are some arguments which support my point of view. There are a few advantages of being a teenager that make this period of our life exciting. Firstly, we do not have to make our living because our parents provide the necessaries of life to us. Our basic obligations are to obey the instructions of our parents, to respect the opinions of others and to obey the laws of the society. Secondly, adolescence is the age when we start to think about our future, make plans and set goals. It is a time of friendship, love, discovery and adventure. Thirdly, teenagers can afford to be spontaneous. We have more free time than our parents, so we neednt plan something weeks ahead.  

However, some people think differently. They say adolescence is miserable because teenagers feel they are too dependent on their parents and there are too many problems in teens lives. I am absolutely sure that this statement is wrong. We have enough freedom to make everyday decisions and practically all our problems can be solved.

To sum up, I think that it is not easy to be a teenager, but it is an interesting and exciting time. We only need to try not to mess up this period of our life with stupid actions and bad habits.
