teenagers conversing what do u find hardest about being a teen?
Not being able to purchase alcohol.
Being stuck in between being not able to do anything yet having to be responsible and everything like a full adult. Then again it is kind of preparation for later life like having to do mitzvos and stuff before bar mitzvah
😀 Zuberman! 😀
hardest?
not being able to have my own apartment and earnn a living (babysitting is not alot charging only 5 an hour)
not being able to go wherever i want when i want
not being able to make my own decisions
having parents responsible 4 me
(i like being independant)
having to share a room
school
not being fully valued or listened to because “you’re just a teen and we’re adults and know better.” Heads up…sometimes you don’t.
i have this things 4 money…even though now with the inflation, the american dollar is wothless…:)
not being able to get married yet
not being able to get married yet
How old are you? People get married as young as 17, and certainly 18.
i said so, it sounds like youre a teen yourself. what do u find hardest?
im with monsey girl. although i think i dont mind waiting a couple of years. ill have my husband for the rest of my life be”h no need to hurry now. i also think that sometimes being a teen is a little depressing. there is so much going on and changing…
I found that during my teenaged years my parents were the hardest part of my life because they were always scared that u was gonna go OTD so two were always trying to control me. As for school, what’s so bad about going to a place where you get to learn, work on your arguing skills and make friends?
“not being able to get married yet “
If you are sixteen, you can get married almost everywhere in the US as long as your parents consent. A few states will even allow younger people to get married, but permission of a secular court may be required. Halachah would actually permit someone to get married as soon as they are bar or bat mitzvah, but we have to follow secular law as well.
To build the foundation of your life. These are the crucial yrs that forms a person. It’s hardest to decide which goals to set and which path to pursue.
I am not a teen..but I do have teenaged children..
only got one thing to say: the time flies by so fast enjoy your teenage years and the fact that you r not ‘attached’.
My ‘in her 20’s’ daughter, only wants to be a teenager again..
Enjoy the freedom and the fact that your not being constantly looked after (if your not shidduch age,that is)
GOOD LUCK — try to find the good in each stage of life
Its hard cos teenagers always think they know better, and sometimes they really do, but they must still learn to accept authority and this seems to be difficult for most of them, as i’m sure it was for me during my teenage years.
Why are they called ‘teenagers’? Vayl zai teen vus zai vill…
One of my favorite quotes about teens: when you are younger you think your parents are so dumb and when you get older you are amazed at how much they learned in so few years …
😀 Zuberman! 😀
ya i like that!
I have found parents and teachers to be wrong. They think they know everything and the teen knows nothing but I’m a teen and I don’t think I know everything and that’s why I ask and there are times that adults can also admit to mistakes! You don’t either know everything! Yes, teenage years are tough…We had another thread on that.
Also, I know a girl in 11th grade who just got engaged so you technically can although I wouldn’t.
That’s precisely what I was trying to say.
Tums: since when can’t u buy alcohol. i have been getting alcohol and cigarretes since 12 yrs. old. just gotta know where 2 go.
Guy Ocho: Now, now, don’t go around educating the innocent teens! 🙁
observanteen: how old r u that ur not innocent anymore. If they’re on CR, they’re probably trying to get a little educated. btw thats what the mods r here 4. They wouldnt post it if it was harmful.
I didn’t say I’m not innocent anymore…;)
I’m turning 18 this shabbos.
I KNOW everone’s trying to get educated, but, you don’t have to be the teacher,y’know.
Oh, and one more thing: would you stop taking me so seriously?:)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! may u have many more happy ones! (were u serious when u said that its ur birthday?)
observanteen: i was just kidding. your the 1 who needs 2 stop being so serious. btw happy b-day. where’s the party at
Thanks everyone!! Yeah, I was serious.
Oh, guy, sorry. (blush)that’s sooo embarrassing!
am i invited. hmu
huh?
i guess ur not as educated as u make urself out 2 b
At first I was wondering how the adults got in (J/K) and then I started wondering which side I’d actually be on…
Scary thought.
Me too but until I turn twenty I will hold on to being a teen as much as I possibly can so I am on the teen side 😀
😀 Zuberman! 😀

Does marriage put an end to teenageness? Why?
😀 Zuberman! 😀
ya, course! too many reasons to mention…
So if someone were to get married at 17 they are no longer a teenager?
😀 Zuberman! 😀
well in a literal sense they would still be a teenager, but they can call themselves whatever makes them happy! Why not hold onto the status of a teen while you have it though? We are the best!
>O<613

>O<613
