 Hi sweetness,
I personally think that being a teenager should be about taking advantage of all the opportunities the world has. Friends, family, school, ALL of it. What I miss most about being a teenager is the time I had to do things like theater (my one true love), and dance. I miss having so much time with my friends, I miss dating around carelessly and figuring out what is important to me in a man... I miss all that stuff.
Also, I do think it's important to learn because when you're young your brain sponges up information and I really believe that having the motivation to learn is awesome. Smart girls are so much hotter than airheads.
Enjoy your friends and family and school and activities. The rest of your life you'll be going to the same ol' job every day and not having time for anything.
So have FUN with your days, EXPLORE and EXPERIENCE with your days, but don't just slack off and waste them. You can never get those years back, and if you play your cards right - those years can be the best ones EVER.
Have fun, sweetness!
xx India

And getting into a good college with those grades. And working a job at the same time to pay for basics and look good on a college application. And being "involved" with a hundred different after school activities and sports because it was the right thing to be doing at that age.
If you had asked me when I was 16, I would have said it was about trying to survive every day, trying to find my place in the world, and trying to solve deep-seated relationship and family issues. And trying to have some tiny amount of time for myself. And trying to figure out why I was so depressed. And trying to stop wanting to kill myself every day.
Now I'm 23 years old. I'm not speaking to my parents at all anymore. I've never had a decent relationship with a girl that I respect. Two years ago I flunked out of college. And I still think about killing myself every day.
But the important things got done. I got those good grades when I was 16 like I was supposed to. And I got into a good college like I was supposed to. (Before I flunked out.)

 Well im 17 and when i was 15-16 my life was about getting my GCSE's(though i was pretty lazy) playing and watching football, and playing playstation. But there was a balance of going out with friends, not so much drinking and partying.
But from what ive seen some of todays 15-16 have a different lifestyle or want it so much they are lying about it

Surviving each day. Battling rumors, fads, vindictive bitches. Sex, love, lust. Finding your place in the world.
It doesn't matter what it SHOULD be about. It matters what it IS about. It's different for every kid (depending on race, weight, age, gender, religion, etc). Being there for your child is the most important thing.

 Personally 15-16 is about focusing on your G.C.S.E's while out fo school and revision focusing on having fun with your friends =] Maybe flirting a little too and if your 16 then preparing for college x

 I think that when you're 15-16 you should be having fun with friends, concentrating on being young and learning about life and about people. I think that you should concentrate on school work also. I would also be flirting somewhat at that age.
Lol
Just enjoy your youth!

 I'm 16 and honestly, for me and my friends, our lives revolve mainly around studying, working, and trying to prepare for college. However I do realize it's important to balance with friends, dates, sports, etc. For me, my perspective is just one of trying to prove the stigma that all teenagers are deliquents, is wrong. I want to make something of myself, and do good and one day after college have a family, and live life. I don't drink, smoke or have sex, but I'm not a prude. I have friends, I have parties, and I have fun. But I think work and education should always come first, fun afterwards.Is that the answer you expected?Hugs

 if you ask me when i was in high school it was all about the sex getting drunk and just going wild now after leaving school a year early getting kicked out arrested now leaving me with no job or qualifications and no way of easily getting into college it was all pointless i think there is so much more to life even as a teenager to going wild and making a fool of yourself i think school should be seperate from your personal life have fun at home and keep school seperate hope this puts things into perspective need anything eles private message me x

 Everyones outlook on teenage life is very different. For example i think the stereotype is drinking, smoking and clubbing, makeup etc. But i know others choose to study all the time instead of go out.Personally i had my first baby 5 weeks ago and im 16 years old going on 17. Im still with the daddy of course, so some people choose to look for love, others look for fun.You have to ask whoever your thinking about what their outlook on teenage life is. Only way to find out.Iileyanaxx
