I disagree with the statement that says teenagers have more problems than adults.

Before I proceed to the reasons of why I say so, we need to know that teenage-hood is a phase in life where teenagers step out from the shells they had been living in for the past 12 years since they were born, and into a whole new world they have never been exposed to before. Whereas for adults, they are grown up teenagers who mostly already have developed, mature thinking and know how to deal with various challenging aspects in life. Even though most people perceive that teenagers indeed have more problems than adults, it is the other way round. Firstly, it is because adults have problems with their spouses, while teenagers dont. When we grow to be adults, it is common sense for the majority of us to commit ourselves to someone else of the opposite gender. Committing ourselves to another is to spend our time together with them, share our feelings with them, and have responsibility for them. When two adults are committed to one another, their opinions and decisions may differ, commonly leading to quarrels and arguments amongst themselves. This would make them feel further apart and may have negative effects on their relationship. Then when they get married, they have vowed to be together, which makes hurt even more painful, because they are closer to each other. As for teenagers, in this case, the current generations have been corrupted and most of them now would simply involve themselves in relationships with other people merely for the status of being taken. This kind of action usually revolves around teenagers aged from 13 year-olds to 16 year-olds. This case is also caused by the immature thinking of teenagers who just want attention, making a fuss about their new-found significant other, not knowing that all these actions would only cause their studies to fail. In simple words, in terms of spouses and relationships, adults have more problems with it compared to teenagers because adults are aware of they are doing while teenagers ridiculously cause harm to themselves for fun. Secondly, in the subject of money, adults have more issues with it rather than teenagers. This is due to the mere temptations of teenagers greed to waste money on unnecessary things while adults have to plan their financial incomes and expenses for the use of themselves and their family. If teenagers resist their urge to buy things that they dont need and only wish to have, money would not be a problem to them. As for adults, their expenditures come from the needs of food, clothes, insurance, children and many more. This is because teenagers are still living with their parents, meaning that all the necessary things they need for their daily lives are provided for them with their parents money, while adults have to think and act for themselves money-wise. Some adults tend to overspend, and that is how they get involved with moneyloaning and debt payments. In relation with the term money, the subject work comes into mind. In the real world where adults are exposed to, working is proven to be very crucial in their lives because it is the only way to support them. Work is where the money flows from and into their wallets and purses. Teenagers, upon graduating from secondary school, college or university and stepping out into the world of business, are required to look for jobs in order to support themselves in life. They are no longer spoon-fed by parents unlike those who still live under the same roof with their parents. Teenagers dont need to worry about this kind of predicament in their lives until they

leave school, though in this era, teenagers worry too much and in the end stress themselves with unnecessary things. Teenagers nowadays simply just cant wait to grow up until they forget to enjoy their teenage-hood. Then, when in work, adults face problems such as sleepless nights due to too much work, office problems and retirement days. Some adults even have problems with their colleagues and have competitors to rival with for the higher positions, which also bring in more salary. Lastly, when it comes to family, adults face the problem of arguing with their parents. Since adults already have mature thinking skills and know how to handle situations in life, sometimes their parents thinking would differ. A good example in reality is the perspective of a son who is all grown up, and his mother. This usually involves the sons future wife because they all say the mother-in-law is the woman Hitler if the alphabets in mother-in-law are rearranged. It is a common issue in the Chinese family because most mothers-in-law are uneasy about their sons wives. Disputes in the family would only weaken the family bond in addition that since their sons and daughters are adults now, they would leave home and start their lives on their own. Some parents would feel lonely, while others just continue with their hobbies, forgotten by their children. As for teenagers, quarrels and talking back to their parents is just another routine for them. Teenagers would simply spew out nonsensical arguments; complain that their lives are terrible by living in a hell-hole, and pointing fingers at everyone else for their own faults. These are all caused by the incompetent minds of rude, low-morale teenagers who simply do not have respect for their elders. Adults have more problems with their families because they do not randomly start an argument for the fun of it, but for relevant issues in life, which is the real problem. In conclusion, there are many reasons why I disagree with the statement that says teenagers have more problems compared to adults. Majority of students only seek trouble for themselves while adults have to deal with challenges of the real world. Teenagers go through drastic physical and emotional changes, and that is where their problems mostly originated from whereas adults face more serious problems in the real world.
