Teenagers
have different ways on how they would live their everyday lives. Here in the
Philippines, we are controlled by our parents until we get married and even if
we already have our own family but in other countries, when a child reached the
age of eighteen(18), their parents used to separate from their children for
them to be independent. In their case, the parents give them their own shelter.
That’s why it’s in their hands if they’re going to be successful in life or
would they enjoy being such a teenager.
Being free is not being far. We
teens, used to say that the more it’s not needed, the more we enjoy doing it.
Sometimes we act like we don’t want to hear things from our parents just
because they’re not agreeing with what we are doing. But there were things that
we can do without any consultation from our parents because it is just the way
we used to be. Here are some activities that may give us freedom in a good way.
KEEP CONTACTS
Having a group of friends is one
way of being socialized. Being with them and have some conversations, keeping
on contact, and talk with them would be the best way of what we say friends
whose “keeping in touch”. It’s more interesting when you talk with your friends
at your same age than with some older than you. Although you can learn from
them… there were things that would never going to be that easy for them to
understand you. Friends are gifts from up above… so cherish every moments
because when you grow up, thus moment would make you feel young again when you
remember it. Make friends through friends until you have your best friends! Remember
that your options to make friends are limitless!
DO EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Join the organizations in your school/university. It would help
you to be more active and have self-confidence. You can also join bands, or in
any activities that you can show your talents and whatever you are interested
in. It’s more fun and you’ll enjoy being part of it, being you rather.
FIGURE OUT YOUR STYLE
It is important to know your style as a teenager. Ask yourself what
you would want to be. Do you want to be a grungey rocker? An alternative? A crazy
kid? Boss in your group? A bit of an emo? A clever kid? Then be who you are!
Don’t mind others for what they can say about you. Get into the stuff that will
compliment your style. The best thing of doing it is the truth that you really
enjoy it!
TRY AND PLEASE YOUR FAMILY
Having a bond with your parents and sisters/brothers is one of
the important things inside a home. For what they say “there’s no place like
home”. It’s because they were the closest friends… the most important people in
your life that you want to stay forever with you. Obey your parents; they
always know what’s best. They’re the ones whom you can’t live without.
Understand, give, forgive, love… and unite.
DON’T BE LAZY
You only live once so try and try until you reach that goal… ‘cause
if you’re going to wait for somebody to do it, it would never gonna be for you
anymore. Even if your hair gets dry and your haggardness showed up, do it for
the reason you want to do for. Do your best all the time. Maybe someday you’re
going to realize that when you already get older where you don’t have enough
time for those things.
TRAVEL
Go anywhere you want as long as you know who’s with you. Discover
the wonder of this world. Go over and visit relatives, friends, and families
from a far place. Meet new friends from other countries but be cautious of
their religion or culture. Play with dogs and cats. Get dirt. See the birds
flying, the swimming fish, and the running wild creations in this world!
When we’re not that mature in such things, elders used to say
this, “You still need to eat more rice.” Because they already came to that age
where they can live free and things are lighter than what they face now. Being
a teenager is so fast… as fast as days to raise us.
