Am I the only one who felt different during puberty and teenagehood?
If you are already a teenager, perfect, if you just became one, welcome to the club!!!
When I entered my teenage life, I became very emotional, shy, and so hard on myself, I guess I didn't understand what was going on because I had developed so many pimples on my face, people liked me less and I felt left out, as a result, I lost my self-confidence.
Every teenager has his or her transformation syndromes, and a lot tend to lose focus at this stage of existence. It is the toughest stage of life because a lot lose it or make it at this stage, for it is the foundation of maturity and adulthood.
A lot of modifications occurred when I turned 14, I became more beautiful despite having pimples on my face. A lot of men and boys started giving me unexpected attention, which made me feel important... I mean this is a teenager who was recently in a rejected position. I failed to differentiate between who truly loved me and who was just faking it. If not for having strict parents, I would have lost it completely.
A house is strong if the foundation is. Teenagehood is the right stage to put all your effort into things that will help discover who you truly are, focusing on the things that will make you what you want to be in your twenties and probably your whole life.
Keep your body clean
This is where keeping yourself clean should start from, it might have started from when you were little but, it has to be intense and serious at this Stage. Remember your body is transforming scientifically, meaning a lot of fluids are being excreted from your body. Make sure you take care of yourself. Getting yourself to smell good should be a priority, make an effort to get yourself deodorant and make sure your mouth smells good, Don't give people reasons to cut your conversations short.
Behave like a human being
. Regulate your behaviour in a way that is relatable and normal.
This is when you learn to be a gentleman or a lady. Be kind to kids, old people and everyone that "deserves" it.
Become a better version of yourself
Find something that will make you an important person in your community, society, school, country, or even your home. Find something that will separate you from the crowd as an individual.
What I am trying to say is, to focus on the things that will build your future.
Have fun
Fun should be part of your Teenagehood, because, if you don't have fun as a teenager, you will miss out on what being a teenager is all about. Make a lot of mistakes and learn from them, it's fun.
Learn as much as you can about life.
Experience is the best teacher therefore, don't be scared to experience a lot of experiences. Take calculated risks and learn from them. Trust me, the lessons you will learn, will play a very big role in your twenties and most definitely your entire life.
Aim high
Dream, dream, dream and dream. Dreaming is very important because it will lead you to your future, it will show you how your future will look like and it will push you to work hard.
