Teenagers worry about a lot of things as they progress into the maturity stage, their worries and problems can be linked to the environment they found themselves . But in this article, I will be writing on the four common worries every teenager from the ages of 13 - 19 in all walks of life can relate with.. And I will be listing it in their order of importance in the teen's heart..mind you this list is based on personal researches and observations, your own views might be  different, don't hesistate to add yours by using the comment box, ..

1. Boyfriend/ girlfriend ; This is the first important issue a teen worries about. The teen start getting attracted to the opposite sex, and would want to start a relationship with him/her, this is where wooing comes to place

A teen could also be induced by peer pressure to get a boyfriend or girlfriend, when his /her friends are boasting and showing off their partners.

Different programmes like prom night, couple's events also add to the excitement and eagerness of getting   a boyfriend/ girlfriend.




2. Looks: after getting attracted to the opposite sex, teenagers worry about their looks, their physique and physical appearance, the lucky ones who got boyfriends and girlfriends would want to improve their looks so that they could be a match for their partners while the ones who didn't would attribute the failure to their looks and would try to improve it too..this is a stage where a guy or girl is aware of his/her good looks and would want to use it to his/her advantage.

3. Money: teenagers want to improve their looks with good creams, gyms and nice clothes, they found out these good things of life cost money and their next line of worry is money, apart from improving their looks with money, they also need cash to keep their boyfriends and girlfriends , go out on shopping sprees etc, this worry and feeling is great especially when there is a rich kid in school who shows off his parent's wealth, a club where only rich and famous students are members , a party where only the wealthy and important students are allowed in etc.

Teenagers would request for more pocket money from their parents, some would opt for having their own private bank accounts

While  some teenagers who have no rich parents or relations would go to the extra mile of working during summer holidays ,so that they can  save up and spend during school days.


4. Grades : since success has many friends and the common way success is measured in schools is through grades and scores of students, teenagers worry about the scores and grades they get in school, they want to be the best in their department so that they can be duly recognized and reckoned with in the school, they also found out good grades is an encouragement for parents and wards to give out more money so they sought after it..

Some also  desire good grades to get the goodwill of teachers or lecturers, since it has its advantages.

Teens who couldn't afford rich and expensive things would try to meet up in brains, rich teens who could afford expensive things would want to improve their status among their mates and they would befriend the smart ones in the school so that they could be helped during examinations, and they would reciprocate by giving them money, gifts etc
