last two years of teenage are very pivotal and crucial in a man or woman’s
life. A proper perspective and understanding of the teenage responsibilities
and joys is a must for all those who wish to be successful life.
A majority of teenagers when enter the eighteenth year of their life
fail to develop proper perspective about life. To them having fun, fashion,
loafing around, and whiling away time in useless activities appears to be their
chief purpose. This age is the age of conflicts and transition. Their emotions
and thoughts are unorganized and chaotic. Thus in turbulence they tend to foe
faulty outlook and thought patterns which often clashes with the grown-ups.
The truth is, at eighteenth year of age one is full of dreams,
ambition, and aspirations. The teenagers often have a knack of looking at the
silver lining behind every cloud. The practical realities don’t intrigue the
teenagers much. It appears if they prefer to live in the fairyland of their
dreams. They are full of enthusiasm, energy, and zeal for life.
However, the majority of teenagers at this age tend to be a little
careless towards their duties. They usually harbor it is not their job to set
the world right. Though they feel strongly about social issues and voice their
concern, but any imitative in this regard is lacking.

along with it both joys and responsibilities. The teenagers should enjoy their
privileges and rights; but they must also do their duties. Fortunate is that
country whose youth remembers their responsibilities.
