What decade would you choose to be a teenager in?
The excitement of our teenage years often stays with us long into adulthood.
While times and individual stories change, there are things all teenagers have in common: carefree days spent with friends, first loves, first jobs, and hopeful anticipation of the future remain the same whether you were a teenager in the 1960s or are a teen today.
Teenagers growing up today enjoy more freedom and autonomy than many teens who came before them – they have the benefit of the internet and mobile phones to stay connected and share information.
But with that comes pressure, too. Many teenagers suffer from the stress and anxiety of social media and high expectations over achievements, meaning these carefree days aren’t so carefree after all.
Each decade comes with its own benefits and challenges. So today we’re asking you – if you could go back and do it all again, which decade would you choose to be a teenager in?
