Question
Read the winning article on the magazine website and discuss the questions with a partner.
Answer
- Yes, the author mentioned several challenges that align with what was discussed earlier, such as feelings of self-doubt and the pressure of schoolwork. The article highlights the mixed messages adolescents receive about responsibility, which contributes to their emotional struggles. On the pleasure side, the author notes the enjoyment of spending time with friends and engaging in activities like sports and games, which reflects the best aspects of being a young adult.
- The author concludes that, despite the challenges of adolescence, the pleasures associated with this time outweigh the pain. He suggests that while it might not always feel this way in the moment, people may look back on their adolescent years fondly as "the best days of our lives." I agree with this conclusion, as the experiences and friendships formed during adolescence can shape who we become as adults, and the freedom to enjoy life without many adult responsibilities is a significant advantage.
