The challenges faced by a teenager are numerous and affect us and who we are. The problem of not being taken seriously is faced by most of us as we are not yet adults. Yet, we have to maintain a certain decorum and act mature as we are not children either. Our mental strength and capacity are always being tested and sometimes it is too much to handle. Not being good enough is a fear embedded in most of our minds. Personally, it is hard to be as successful as I am perceived in most people's minds. It is difficult to be the person that everyone wants me to be and the stress is sometimes intolerable.
