Being a Teenager

  I love being a teenager. I have the freedom to go more places and do more things that don't involve parental supervision. There are many ups and downs to being a teenager. The ups are that I'm smarter, less dependent on other people and I actually have a social life. The down sides are I get to deal with other teenage girls and I think everyone knows how frustrating that can be because there's just way too much unnecessary drama that involves boyfriends, what that one girl was wearing to school the other day  and many other pointless subjects. Technology, friends and family are my life. I am a huge movie lover, so the great thing about being a teenager is I can pretty much get in to watch any movie I want without having to worry about the age limits and coarse language like when I was younger. Something my dad still tells me to this day is, "Be a kid as long as you can because it only comes once in a life time," I live by that quote especially in my teenage years because so far, as I've noticed, it does go by fast. So far, my teenage years are my favorite years in life because aside from worrying about school, grades and what I want to be in the future, I can be carefree and just live in the moment.
