The Struggles of Being a Teen in 2107

Being a teen in 2017 isn't easy. As the years fly, people also have to, whether it's by the hard or easy way, teens don't have the easiest life these days. Which furthermore, every teen needs to be perfect, likes are a big part of their lives and finally, they need to be confident about themselves.

In 2017, every teen needs to be perfect, such as being beautiful, smart, fit and even more.

Whether it's body goals, food goals, friendship goals, relationship goals or even up to life goals, all teens must have the above to be respected in general, it's crazy.
