Teenage Identity

• Emma Regis, Grade 9
• Short Story
• 2016

how does a teenager attempt to find who they truly are with the world criticises everything we do. The society telling us "Be who you want" but then coming back saying "no not that way, this way".

Finding you're way through these years are difficult. Experimenting the limits our mind will take us, sometimes going to far leading to a break within us. Confused, overwhelmed coming near to the age we are needing to decide what we want. Fellow peers not helping with decisions leading some down the wrong path.

Some to scared to ask for help because really people can have their opinions but that can just end up clashing with what you thought you wanted.

We wish that we were still in primary school where you didn't have a care in the world, naive to everything around us.
Everything now is different some experiencing life more then others.
With all the issues going on in the world does one really think they will truly find who they are right now? Their are adults who don't even now so my only advice is not to let the world around you change who you are and just find your way.
