Problems with teenage life

As a teenager, we want to be identified with a group, any group. We feel a sense of belongingness when we do that especially if it's a powerful group.
So whenever we're part of a group and our peers ask us to do something, we just can't say "no". We even become more daring. For instance, even if you don't smoke or drink, when peers say, "Try this, try that..." You decide to just do it.
I remember being asked by my friends to cut classes and pass notes during exams. Afraid to be branded "kill-joy", I did it. The next time, I decided not to do it anymore. I talked to my friends and explained my action. I told them that we are not sent to school to have fun but to study.
How about you. What will you consider as problem/s encountered during those teenage years?

Well, that's how teenagers are being disciplined before. But I don't think lots of teenagers today are like you. More and more are trying to find their own way and go on their own. Though it was good that you have obeyed your father then and grew up to be a good child.
