How to Enjoy Life as a Teen
Maybe teens are not the best years of your life, but you should still learn to make the most of your high school days.
◆Learn to appreciate small things. Whether it's having a computer, having friends, having a family that loves you, or simply being born in this world, remember that the point of life is for you to enjoy it. Remember these are the last few years you are able to enjoy yourself without having to worry about the responsibility of an adult, but make sure you prepare yourself for when you actually become an adult,
◆Choose your friends wisely. Try to have friends that like you who you are, not just the things you have. These are people who shop at the same store as you;not someone who will sympathize with you when your dog dies.
◆Be sociable. Participating in clubs, activities, and sports increases your chances of meeting new friends. Participating gives you something to do instead of sitting bored at home and wallowing in self-pity.
◆ Video games, for example, are good if you're the type who can get into that kind of thing. You should also find a hobby that is meaningful or practical. Use your "hobby time" to start developing and uncovering passions.
◆Work at a job you can enjoy. Working is a great way to gain experience and to meet other people. Prior work experience will help you find a job more easily. If you can't find work, just volunteer or make your own job.
