What is the best and worst part about being a teenager?
Best: you are getting taller, looking more like your adult self, learning by tremendous leaps and bounds, and gaining independence one atom at a time. Worst: you will feel tired a lot, have growing pains, discover people who aren’t very nice to you (or to anyone else, for that matter), not be treated seriously by some adults (even though you’re a person and you have a mind and feelings), and sometimes you will wonder if this somewhat awkward, somewhat wonderful phase will ever end, and at the same time you will not want it to end.
