Teenage years are often a bit rubbish. I don't know anyone who would choose to repeat those years. Your body is full of hormones, your head is full of this and that, and your heart aches for love and recognition. Our brains are not fully formed until we are in our twenties. Life really does get better. Twenties and thirties are fab. If I could pick one age to be forever I'd pick thirty. Look forward to what's to come!

You're definitely not alone in feeling this way. Many people find their teenage years challenging, and the idea that these years are supposed to be the "best years of your life" can put a lot of pressure on you to feel a certain way. The truth is, everyone's experience is different, and it's perfectly normal for the teenage years to be tough.
For me, the best period of my life wasn't my teenage years either. I went through a lot of confusion, self-doubt, and stress during that time. It felt like I was constantly trying to figure out who I was and where I fit in, which was exhausting and often disheartening.
It wasn't until my mid-20s that things started to feel better. I had more freedom to make my own choices, a better understanding of who I was, and I had built stronger, more genuine friendships. I also found a career path that I was passionate about, which gave me a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
So, if you're feeling like your teenage years are far from the best, don't worry. Many people feel the same way, and there's so much more life ahead of you with countless opportunities for happiness and fulfillment. The idea that any one period of life should be the best is a myth—different stages bring different joys and challenges.
Hang in there, and remember that it's okay to feel how you feel. The best years of your life might be just around the corner.
