All people have problems. Some people have a lot of problems, others have one or two. And no matter how old you are, you will still face difficulties in your life. We can solve some problems but some problems are very hard to solve. There are a lot of teenagers in our country. A teenager is a person from thirteen to nineteen years of age. And young people here face as many difficulties as grown-up people do.
My name is Sabina. I’m a ninth grade student at a secondary school. I think that all people at certain stages of life face some problems and I’m not an exception. This academic year was rather tough. We had some new and difficult subjects coming. Besides, this year was marked by a number of state exams, so I had to study hard at my free time to pass them with good points. All in all, I’m a happy person. I have a loving and caring family. I have good friends and classmates. School teachers are kind to me, so I have nothing to complain about. But these exams are probably the only worrying problem for me. Knowing how important they are, I’ve partially lost my appetite, I became rather nervous and stressed. My mum says that it’s going to be alright and that everyone one way or another passes them. I believe her, because she was also a decent student while studying at school and university. My problem is that I want to pass them with excellent marks, especially the Biology and Chemistry tests. I’m planning to enter the medical college next year, so it is very important for me. Maths and Russian tests are also going to be hard, but I’m well prepared for them. Other than exams, perhaps, every teen faces rapport problems with parents. As I’ve already mentioned, they are great and I love them with all my heart. But sometimes, it seems to me that we speak different languages. They often try to decide for me and show overprotection, while I think that I’m old enough to take care of myself. Perhaps, this is happening because I’m the only child in the family, but I wish they would give me more freedom of choice.
