When I was a teenager, I struggled to know who I was within life. Having been a shy child it was hard during my teenage years to see that I was a person who had a life to lead. Being a teenager is full of problems, such as, you go through changes, emotionally and physically.  Sound familiar??  In other words, you want your freedom within life (know yourself as person), want your family to understand you, want less  pressure with school work and friends.

The interesting thing is you are not alone. There are teenagers all over the world who have the same problems as you.  I know it is tough and you may feel alone but sometimes it is good to speak with someone, such as, parents, a school teacher, or counsellor. Don't be afraid and be strong about asking for help.

Now, I can honestly say, that  as an adult I went through a stage in my life that was difficult but now I am a strong person, who is happy to be herself.
