Life is never so tough, and nor is it stranger
Than living the life of a teenager
They have many problems and many fears
Coping with pressures, mainly from their peers.

Life can be complex at this difficult time -
Trying to be first to the top of the ladder they climb.
They might feel they have the world on their shoulder,
As they strive to survive as they slowly get older.

It is a time to feel awkward and also confused.
And when authority speaks for it to be refused.
And whether with friends or just on their own,
Teenagers often feel that they are all alone.

Though life might be hard while you're an adolescent,
Know that each day doesn't have to be unpleasant.
Then know that each wrong shall turn into a right,
And that at the end of the tunnel you will find the light.
