What do teenagers worry about?

Recent research has shown  that nowadays teenagers are getting more and more worried and live life more stressfully than before.

But which are the reasons for this to happen and why do they let themselves feel such a panic?

From my point of view, the answers are quite clear. The main two facts that teenagers most worry about are their physical appearance  and their future.

To start with, youngsters consider that appearance is an essential feature  in life.

Not only do teenagers worry, but also adults, even elderly people. The latter group find it very hard to realize they are getting older and they  go through surgery and try to keep healthy so that they don’t look their age and, at the same time, feel proud of themselves.

In the case of teenagers, it seems that this society has gone mad, as if we all should be continuously showing how “perfect” we are, hiding our imperfections, in order to be liked by the rest.

Likewise, this affects our appearance. Teenagers will always try not to act in a way that can be criticized just because it is different from the rest. We try to sell our image showing  the leak of personality we suffer.

As far as future plans are concerned, teenagers might feel puzzled and overwhelmed when having to decide their future studies at university since these decisions that must be taken in a short period of time, will be absolutely relevant for the rest of their lives.

It is pretty distressing  to know that our future depends on what we do as teenagers.

To sum up, I reckon that young people shouldn’t give too  much importance to what people think about them and do what they want, being straightforward people, enjoying every single minute of life, as if this was the last one! CARPE DIEM!
