Top Ten Reasons Being a Teenager Sucks

Calling it torture is a bit of an exaggeration because torture is being burned and skinned alive, but it is definitely one of the cons of being a teenager.

School is an unpaid full time job for minors. Sounds like child labor.

I am 10 turning 11 and my school has 9 hours of pure torture per day so...

This also applies to children, not just teenagers.

I am truly tired of living with my parents. My mom told me that she would've dropped me off at the side of the highway to get rid of me if it was legal.

So? You live because of your parents. They raise you!

Depends on how your parents treat you.

I have nothing against anyone who thinks homework is helpful, but I think that those who say that have never heard of the word "Deperession"

Quality homework is a billion times more important than quantity.

Homework is a violation of free will, a basic human right.

So true. You want to get out there and explore. Live your own life. Fall in love without them interfering. Go out whilst having no one that's going to call you if it's late. Society has decided that suddenly we become adults once we become 18. And even then we still live with our parents... At least we can drive at this point.

You don't realise how lucky you are. Who do you turn to at the first sign of trouble? Your first heartbreak, etc...it's selfishness. You want them around as long as it suits you. You are still a teenager, you need them (however annoying they can be sometimes) In fact, you'll find as you get older, you'll need them even more.

I want my parents to leave me alone and let me have a life. They're idiots anyway.

Actually, if you don't have a phone, then you are less likely to be cyberbullied

They think that all teenagers are evil, and they are 3 times as annoying as usual.

You know, the only hard part about being a teenager is.. Feeling like you want to jump the hoops right away. Parents are meant to be there as idols for you. But, honestly I find when they say this to be ridiculous. It is true, but when you are born, you really don't have any other choice but to stick with your parents in order to continue with life properly. And when you reach a certain age, you just want to live on your own, live how you want to, and having adult privileges. It doesn't seem fun to wait for about 18 years or more just to be able to get into this zone, and can be a pretty torturous wait. What's even more ridiculous is that there are strangers out there in which you want to be isolated from that will bring you even MORE torture. But yeah, I find it ridiculous how parents bring this up mainly as excuses.. You just really have no choice but to have your parents guide you in the beginning. It is even more unfair if your parents don't reward you anything for the wait to ...more

That would be like working at Mcdonalds and they pay you with happy meals. That's not pay. Parents provide this for their children anyway, so school is really just working for free. Never listen to your parents, kids.

Exactly, that's their excuse for no presents, etc, too!

Most teens have the stress of getting good grades, deciding what to do after high school, SAT/ACT, volunteering, going through puberty, trying to fit in with peers, extracurriculars, and sometimes a job. And all the pressure from our parents, teachers, and peers to do better is not making any better!

I have such a bad life. I just want to die in a hole.

I suffered form depression in elementary

More like "you are pressured to have a girlfriend/boyfriend".

That doesn't really bother me since I prefer to be single.

Lol I never had a girlfriend. I think I don't deserve one.

I am not allowed to have friends at all.

And this is why I want to switch math classes.

They just bug everyone to try to be their friend. Why don't they realize that this is why they are so unpopular.

Popularity at school is overrated, for short, because I am too lazy to write 300 words for it.

Most of the time I hear them listen to horrible bland rap music.

My parents call me lazy because I do not have a full time job.
1. School is technically a full time job and I do more work than they do. (My mom's job is sitting in a classroom doing whatever she wants, my dad's job is sitting at a desk with a laptop.)
2. It is not my fault I am 13 and therefore can't get a job.

Kaboom is not so bad your mom kiss you in public and I want to change mom

Is this a major problem?

I hate this. Just because I read and like anime doesn't mean I am weird. And then some people think I am antisocial, but the real reason I stay quiet is because I don't feel like talking to a bunch of idiots. I only open up around certain friends and teachers, but when I am around them, I can be extroverted. And then just because I wear certain things these people want to call me emo or weird or a vsco girl or whatever. Like, damn, excuse me for wearing clothes! And just because I get a question right doesn't mean I am a know-it-all. It isn't my fault that the rest of you are dumb and don't know how to use your heads. Then they get mad at me for doing my work and having free time! Sometimes I just want to throw it in their face and say, "Yeah, I got all of my work done and got good grades on all of it, too. So what, bitch? It ain't my fault I'm smart." But I don't because I am a good person. I swear my classmates are so annoying sometimes.

My acne isn't bad, but it does get worse every now and then

Quite annoying
