List of Things I Love and Hate about being a Teenager

Or is it list of things I loved and hated about being a teenager? Well anyway, here it goes :

LOVED

1. Need not think of the future.
2. The only worries were to get to school in time.
3. Parents were the escape route when caught in trouble.
4. Practically everything was prepared. From everyday meals to transport for extra classes and pre-planned  holidays during school breaks.
5. Monthly allowances.
6. Friends were available 24-7.
7. Lousy teacher to be made fun of.
8. Mistakes were forgivable.
9. Least thinking needed.
10. Knew lesser of the happenings around the world.

HATED

1. CURFEWS!!!!
2. Calls from home every 5 minutes checking on my whereabouts.
3. Politics in school on who is the most popular kid.
4. The need to keep my shoelace tied all the time and uniforms ironed.
5. Parents bugging to study hard and get the grades higher.
6. The time limit of going online as there was no wifi then.
7. Emergency calls made using the phone booth. ( I didn't have a handphone then )
8. Lack of freedom.
9. Ideas not taken seriously by older people especially parents. "Words of a young person is immature talk" according to them.
10. Indian parents think that they are Gods. Whatever they said was right, even if it was wrong. Whatever we, teenagers, said was never right, even if it really was.
