It's rough being a teenager in this day and age.

Being a teenager is as difficult as living with one. And we've all been there. Perhaps that's the reason we're so hard on them.

I think the hardest part about being a teenager is dealing with other teenagers - the criticism and the ridicule, the gossip and rumors.

All generations of teens have it hard, I think. Each society and century has its struggles that the others can't compare to.

Being a teenager is chaotic because you're kind of coming into your own, but you're not an adult; you're fighting with your parents over responsibilities and freedom.

I don't really feel like I need to be a teenager ever again.

Being a teenager is an amazing time and a hard time. It's when you make your best friends - I have girls who will never leave my heart and I still talk to. You get the best and the worst as a teen. You have the best friendships and the worst heartbreaks.

I was a pretty difficult teenager.

Teenage years are hard. And, having taught high school for a number of years, I think they're particularly hard on teenage girls. The most self-conscious human beings on the planet are teenage girls.

The teenage years are ridiculously crucial and hard and, um, awkward.
