 The life of a teenage citizen of the year

Not everyone will guess how challenging the life of a teenager could
be: juggling with school work and personal life at home can be a true
struggle for any young citizens in the country. Who would have
thought that a boy of 16 would be responsible for his disabled mother,
younger brothers and sisters, taking care of their daily food, personal
hygiene and safety while trying his best not to fall behind his studies at
school and be a reliable friend to his classmates?
Body paragraph 1 – his daily routine at
home
 His routine is more or less the same everyday. He
would get up at 6 a.m. in the morning until it’s a
weekend and prepare food for his mum and little
brothers and sisters before taking them to the bus
station. Besides, he needs to take care of his sick
mother, tending to her needs. He is responsible for
doing the washing unless his friends come into his
house to lend a hand.
