What it's like to be a Teenager .

Being a teen is hard work; it involves a lot of attitude, life long decisions, and... puberty.

My parents help me the most with my studies and make sure I'm always making the right choices. They're very nice most of the time, and understand what I tell them; yet tend to be strict at times when it's necessary.

The only reason I go to school is because i have to learn; not because I like it. I'm guessing they make some things fun so we don't die of boredom. My classes this semester are fairly easy, and it's fun to show what I'm made of during gym class. The pressure of big exams and getting good grades on my report cards are always in the back of my head. I'm always worrying about doing bad on an assignment, yet I know that if I try my best, there's nothing to stress about. 

I sleep around seven hours a night and am always so hungry in class, even after eating mountains of food. It's so weird. Another part of being a teen- phases of mass hunger. You can ask my friends how much food they give me in a day. 

Adults think it's all fun and games to be a teenager. I'd say it's a frustrating job; trying to concentrate on being your best, whilst putting up with all the drama around you. At the end of the day you can lay in bed and say to yourself, "I did it," then wake up the next morning and repeat the whole crazy process.

History of English and Me .

I grew up with English and never learnt any other language, so I like learning new words all the time and improving my communication skills. In elementary school I was really bad at spelling and writing full sentences. After reading many novels, my ability to recall words increased and I gradually began to have a passion for my language. Reading in my spare time became and everyday thing and practicing my grammar was a usual protocol. I got an A in all my English classes because I love reading and writing. I like to read books that are scary and also ones based in the future. Short stories are fun to write in my free time and I have a huge stack of them in my room!
