3. Chalking out your entire life is never a good idea.
You might think it would be a good plan to plan your entire life, map it out in front of yourself, but in reality it not possible for an individual to methodically plan out every single detail, event and achievement for themselves accurately; such is the unpredictable nature of human life.
The best you can do is plan ahead for the conscious choices you make in your life- be it your next level of education, what courses you are going to pursue(then again you might not get into your desired educational institute).
Suppose, you are shifting someplace else with your family in near future. Events like this are opt for being planned ahead, however, they are not 100% effective as well.
Any medical situation, natural calamity might disrupt your plans and you can possibly end up not executing them. The same goes for the intimate connections you make – be it platonic or romantic relationships. There is no guarantee that the person you are dating now is going to be your future partner/spouse, few years down the line.
4. Learn to say no.
The pressure to say “Yes” to everything is understandable, even more so for a teenager.
However, there comes certain instances in life where we must take a stand for ourselves and truly express what we want. Unless we do this, we will not be understood completely by others and might even be misunderstood as a confusing personality.
Voicing your opinions therefore, is very important.
Secondly, saying no is essential in situations where your quality of life is at risk, or when it comes to sexual consent. In these cases, you must be clear on your grounds. Knowing where you stand and letting the other party know the same is extremely important.
5. Know that nothing is permanent.
You teenage life too shall pass!
Throughout the course of life, with the passing of time, things change. Very few things remain the same as life goes on. The way you feel about everything right now in life, as you read this will undergo a complete transformation few years down the line.
Your opinions about events happening around you will change too. Nothing in life remains the same, ironically it is change which remains constant.
To conclude, teenage is definitely not a smooth ride for most people- many of us deal with self-esteem issues, lack of confidence, peer pressure, and what not during this vital phase.
Therefore, it is crucial to understand the common issues that can occur during the teenage phase of a person’s life and take the requisite measures for a happy, healthy life ahead.
