A
Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn't mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years.Even with your daily troubles，your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.
I know exactly how you feel.Teenage life can be hard.You are not a kid anymore，because you are smart enough to observe and analyze your surroundings.However，you are still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you need to learn from these experiences.To top it all，the hormonal(荷尔蒙的)imbalance in your body can really mess you up.I have been there.I was in it for six years exploring what life is about!
As a teenager，I had a major problem completing my chores on time.And at that time，all that I needed to do was to finish my assignments，study for the upcoming tests and clean my room.Now，I have much more things to do: cooking，cleaning and working while striking a balance between all my relationships related to work，family and friends.That really is a lot of work.So，I will just give you one golden tip，quoting from Benjamin Franklin，“Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”
Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down.Half the problems of a teenager appear because we hate doing things.We'd rather go and have fun than sit down and take on our responsibilities.That is why you have so much trouble in your life；your parents won't let you go out with friends because you haven't cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you because you haven't finished your assignments.
