REFLECTION PAPER

We all faced different struggles in life that could have broken us, many challenges we
overcome some of it are the one that I just watched which is the Top 10 Struggles of Being a
Teenager. Being a teenager is amazing in so many ways, but we’ve all experienced these
common difficulties just like on the 10th difficulties which is HIGH SCHOOL, I still remember
how difficult high school is which I had to learn how to balance school and life for the first time
which I was not prepared on doing that since I don’t have any idea what will happen to me when
I will be on high school. On the 9th struggles which is WORKING LAME ENTRY-LEVEL
JOBS I haven’t struggle on that part since when I was on high school, I didn’t do any job which I
am thankful to my parents for supporting me when I am on high school and until now. On the 8th
struggle which is FINDING CLIQUE, finding clique when I am still kid was so easy not when I
am teenager because I need to find my tastes and interest, when I am on high school it is really
hard to find friends that you want to say my friends I have come on different group of friends
when I am high school I only find my true friend when I am on the 10th grade which they are still
my friends up until now, but some of my past other friends was still my friends still now too.
The next is the 7th struggle is THE PRESSURE OF PLANNING YOUR FUTURE, life
planning is really difficult- even adults find it difficult! It is even a worse as a teen which is you
need to plan on when will you finish your school work, you need to plan on what course are you
going to take when you are college and which college will you go to if you graduate, up until
now I am still struggling planning on my future which one of them is which college will I go if I
graduate in senior high school. The 6th struggle is BULLIES, I was once bullied when I am on
high school which is because on my face, I have been facing many difficulties in my life one of
them is having acne which made them bully me. The 5th struggle is the PARENTAL
EXPECTATION, I did struggle in this one once when I was in grade 9 which I failed my one
subject, and I was so stress on that time.
The 4th struggle is the UNREQUITED CRUSHES, I didn’t struggle on this because if I
have a crush on someone, I put some boundaries between us which made me always realize that
if that person love someone then I don’t mind. 3rd struggle is PEER PRESSURE AND THE
NEED TO BE COOL, I did face this kind of challenges which is you want to be part of them,
and you need to be cool like them like you want to be one of them, so you need to dress up like
them. 2nd struggle is the TOO YOUNG TO BE AN ADULT; TOO OLD TO BE A KID, did
struggle on this part which is I don’t mature which made me really dumb right now I am like a
kid that don’t know on how to be adult, the last one is the PUBERTY/HORMONES, I think this
is the worst struggle I have ever faced which puberty sucks it is really sucks. I have faced many
challenges on this which is I am having acne, voice breaks, other more I have many insecurities
in my body when I started being on puberty stage. I am thankful I have overcome those struggles
which made me a lot stronger now.
 Struggles can shape your character and help you become stronger person if you let them.
Every struggle has something to teach you, learn from it and do not waste the lesson because it
can bring great things out of you: a renewed mind, compassion, kindness, a more courageous
attitude, a greater appreciation for what you have, and a more positive outlook on life. After
you’ve overcome those challenges or struggles, you can look back on them and see how easily
you can take life for granted at times. Struggles can serve as a reminder that life is worth fighting
for, I have never meet someone with an easy past which made me still fighting for my future.
