Ayumi Hamasaki and Perfectly Normal Life
I am delighted to have this opportunity to share an article written by me based on some interesting thoughts that run in the minds of all the teenagers, like you & me, across the world.
My topic is: I AM AN AVERAGE TEENAGER
'I am exhausted'
Why? You may ask?
Well you see, it was one of the days full of socializing- A get together with school pals, college in the afternoon (Well, I actually bunked and went to juhu beach) and of course I saw the evening show of the latest movie (Delhi belly!) with my girlfriend. So, basically I am just an average teenager.

My philosophy in life-live life to the fullest! That includes movies, pizza's, parties. Oh! I forgot- STUDIES!!! They just don’t seem to end, do they? Exam after exam after exam and then there those research projects & presentations to add some variety to life…!

Then comes those times when I feel I’m being dragged in ten different directions at the same time......an outing with friends, some events in college, spending time with family, an Everest of books to go through..!

What do I do? (My favorite question)

And then comes the sudden (and kind of short lived) ambition to 'do something meaningful in life’. So I join the rat race of professional courses to give myself the educational edge and also enroll for a million co-currics so that there is some 'Personality Development'(not like I need it!).A few weeks of juggling (I can’t juggle) and I realize that I’ve got to limit my activities according to my energy levels (0.00003).

'So much to do and so little time!' (My second favorite dialogue)

And then comes the feeling of defeat (I hate that work!).You've got to take it sportingly or you run the risk of becoming dull and sorrowful.

So anyway, as u see, I lead a perfectly normal life. My day begins with the Sun rising in the east and ends with the Sun setting in the west. I live by a saying:
“Small grains of sand,
And the tiny drops of water,
Make the mighty ocean and

    After reading the article 'What sort of example is this to set our children' by Levy & Davidson, published 23rd September in the Daily Mail I feel obliged to address my concerns to you. I believe the article has belittled teenagers and shone them in a negative light to the public.…

    Although, life is never like the movies, movies are more than pure entertainment, some movies also teach life lessons. As an example, in 1986, John Hughes wrote and directed Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, it was about Ferris Bueller and his friends who decided to follow Ferris’s plan to skips school in order to have an adventure around the the city of Chicago. I have seen Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, several times since I was little; however, I have always disliked the movie. However, I recently watched it again and I now have the ability to fully understand the concepts in the movie. An essential quote that hangs over my head is when Ferris Bueller says, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it,” and Ferris is right because life is not going to stop and with life constantly moving it is impossible to catch everything; however, if students only focus on establishing a future, they are missing on the presents. Just like me, throughout school I have only focused on school; I spent most of my time studying. However, I began to realize that life is more than just studying for school in order to have a career. College grants independence. Independence is an immense amount of responsibility. I am free from watchful eyes, and I can do whatever I want without being criticized by my parents. Thus, I began to realize that life also has opportunities for mistakes and for “ditch…

    Understanding and accepting the teenage brain takes substantial persuasion and a remarkable memory of one’s own adolescent years. Knowing about teenagers is one concept, but synthesizing your experiences with theirs and perceiving the logic behind their actions is another. Teenagers are a subculture with their ideas and actions alone. In The Primal Teen, Barbara Strauch makes her point valid by appealing to the audience about a familiar, and often unanswered topic, by using rhetorical connections and proven statistics. Although the teen brain differs from children and adults dramatically, Barbara Strauch makes the difficult times of the lives of everyone involved simpler and brings it to a more positive light.…

    In the essay, Myth of Adolescence, Alex and Brett Harris incorporate their thoughts on what they feel about what teenagers actually go through during their period of `adolescence.` They go on to compare this phase to an elephant. They say that an elephant is a powerful beast that can be restrained even by a piece of twine. According to Alex and Brett, young teens are the elephant and our twine is the concept of adolescence. Unfortunately, these low expectations end up limiting teens for no reason. Teenagers, between the ages of 13-18, are held back by society and aren't able to excel in life. The essay, Myth of Adolescence, states that the socials expectations are becoming obstacles for teens. We as teenagers, need to erase the invisible shackles…

    Educating Essex

    I am writing to you because I find it impossible to understand why ‘Educating Essex’ represents teenagers in this such way to society today, it only makes an impression of them, that “all Britain’s teenagers are goby, impolite, spoilt and lacking enough self-discipline to interact with anyone.” This supports stereotypes of modern reckless teens, when in reality “the majority of Britain’s teenagers are interesting, polite and simply brilliant young people quietly going about the business of creating a bright future for themselves.”…

    Due to the recent events particularly effecting our Teenage World, we, as teenagers want to speak on behalf of our majority group. It has become a growing importance that teenagers now seek an independence from their parental authorities. All humans have a constitutional right to independence. The actual independence sought for from this Declaration is not to ignorantly demand an immature imbalance of childish desires, but rather to declare an independence more typical to that of an adult. We are not begging for video games, or a raise in our (non-existent) allowance. We significantly desire an opportunity to prove we are worthy of a more suitable independence.…

    "What is on the minds of America's youth today?" was the prompt for an essay contest. The top of the page hosted two images; one of the youth of 1968 protesting racism, and one of teenagers on Spring Break in 2004. The magazine claimed that 30 years ago, young people were so focused on sit-ins, protests, and what was happening in the world around them and today, teens are content solely with "watching their MTV, and following the love lives of Brad, Jen, Jessica, and Paris." I was intrigued by the article. I let the prompt linger in my mind.…

    Leisure Profile

    • 3077 Words
    • 13 Pages

    My personal philosophy towards life and leisure is founded in the belief that one should seek out those moments, events, people and attitudes that bring happiness to one’s life. I believe in spending time with the ones you love and the ones who love you in return as it is these people who help shape your reality, attitudes and life in turn. Since the truth is that no one cares if you are miserable except yourself, I make sure to surround myself with people who enrich my life; those who uplift me and help bring me higher and strive to better myself. I believe it is important to take time to do activities that one loves doing. It doesn’t matter whether these activities are enjoyed alone, with friends or with family, just getting out and doing these activities is beneficial to one’s state of being. When a person takes time to do those things they love, a contentedness results and regardless of any hurt, pain, stress or struggles, they are able to enjoy themselves in that moment. I believe attitude contributes a lot to one’s state of mind and also one’s physical being. All of my life experiences, good and bad alike, have taught me a lot and have helped me grow into the person I am today. I try to remain positive no matter what situation I find myself in. A major driving force in my life is my family. I am a firm believer that one of the most important aspects in life is family. I have a two year old daughter who has changed my life in a positive…

    Personal Manifesto

    For those of you who don't know me, my name is ------ ------. I am a sophomore at R University this year and I am loving every minute of my college experience. I still can't nail down a major because I want to do a little bit of everything, and by a little bit I mean that I want to be superhuman and do everything. I am torn between Politics, Sociology, Spanish, Communications, and making my own International Relations major just for fun. I don't know where I am and I don't know where I am going. My life has always been this way, one extremity in every open door but trying to be present in all of the different places. I have moved around a few times to states that are very different from one another. I have travelled over a large part of the globe, I'm hoping to check off every country by the time I die but the realist side of me knows that I will never quite fulfill that goal. I can't sit still and I love seeing everything that I possibly can, whether this is a place or a side of an argument, I love every aspect of education and educating oneself.…

    How should we live our lives? This question is the most confusing question that many of people lost there lives trying to answer. Many philosophers, sociologists and thinkers consumed many years trying to put theories, concepts, and norms to guide others to the most efficient way to live. One thing I had discovered is that life is easier than many people think you should have to open your eyes and start to enjoy life, instead of trying to explain it. This book will not be a guide or a path for others to answer the question. It is going to be a way to help others to stop thinking about life and to start living the real life.…
