"Teenagers don't know real world problems"

The topic I chose was Teenager/ Generation  Z member. "Teenager/ Generation Z" is about how teenagers are nowadays and what the problems of being a teenager are. This topic can have so many people who used to be teenagers can relate to the problems teenagers have for instance: relationship problems, family problems, mental disorders like depression, anxiety, school problems, etc.

Us teenagers, can handle so much. Sometimes we find ways to get out of trouble, ways to survive the real world. There's teenagers who has the right way to live and can survive like nothing can ever happen to them. Others... sometimes can't make it to the finish line. Parents think that if your young, you'll always have a break through but they don't understand the struggles of trying to succeed or even trying to stay alive in the world. Being a teenager sucks to be honest. You have to make everyone proud because say something bad about you or they suspect you to be something better than you are now or better than anyone else.
Image result for what it's like being a teenagerAs a teenager myself, I always get told "You barely started living, you don't know real world situations" when I have problems of my own like for example having missing assignments or failing a class. Every day I get told that I'm young and sometimes it's not a big deal. No one really knows the real problems we have nowadays has young adults. Some teenagers deal with stress and depression. They get told "You're not stress, just in a bad mood" or "You don't know what stress or depression is" Sometimes I get told this by family and the "older" generation. Most troubled teens take drugs, become runaways or even get arrested for dealing with the wrong stuff only cause we get criticized by family or friends and we start to feel worthless or such things like that. Parents think that if we're innocent kids, we'll just as good as that but it's not true. Parents think that by teaching us things, they messes up on as a teenager would keep us in line. We're curious people. We'd want to discover new things before we get older and start losing interests in them. Parents don't know if they're kid is struggling or not or they think that if we're smart we'll get every piece of work done. We can't do things that parents did as a teenager. We can't be as successful as our parents. But our parents expect us to be like them or be better than them. We can't do that sometimes. Some people know what it was to be a teenager, knowing the struggles, knowing the success, knowing everything about a teenager. Others thinks that we're just crazy people who does crazy things and thinks we aren't mature. Some day they'll know, some day they won't.
