Are teenage years the best moments of one's life?

Question

Why yes or No? In what circumstances?

Answer 1

Mostly. I remember mine fondly. So many great memories there.

However, as an adult,marrying, having kids are great moments. Then, of course, watching your kids do things..... plays, dance recitals, graduation, turning you into a grandparent.... and so on. Now, watching the grandkids do things.

Big circle. It goes round and round.

Answer 2

yes!!!!! (unless bad things happen). If not the best, then there are always the twenties which are not too bad either.
Why are the teen years so good?
1. your ability to be fit and to endure physical hardships is very high. You should be very, very healthy.
2. things are new and constantly being discovered. It is exciting and first experiences can never happen again.
3. things tend to be strongly imprinted in your memory
4. males are near the peak of their sexual ability
5. you can feel very intensely
6. there is freedom from drudgery and responsibility (teens often don't think so, but compared to later in life, you are pretty free). You can be a little wild and get away with it.
7. you are forming the person you later will be - you won't forget doing that and the time (decade) that it happened will always be special to you
8. You will have your first love and/or your first sex, and you will never forget it.
9. many teens can eat and not get fat.
10. there is a comraderie among teens and it will never be as easy to make friends or even to have a girlfriend or boyfriend
11. you can run around, experiment, etc and still hide out in your parents house. Freedom, safety net or "womb" at the same time.

Answer 3

For me they were fun times but not the best. I am now 44 and times just seam to get better and better. Now i can afford the things i wanted as a teenager. I always have lived life to the full and still am, the more you see and travel the more you enjoy. Enjoy every part of life teenager, 20s getting married and watching your kids grow up. You only get one chance in life so live today like it was your last (one day it will be). I guess i am saying don't look back look in front and enjoy life its good.

Answer 4

To some the most painful, to some the only time they were really 'somebody', and to them the moments will replay in their mind for the rest of their lives.
To everyone, they are usually the years we first reference everything against. We start to compare any later experiences with those early post adolescent ones, as those were the first times that we wanted to go at this with a sense of independance from our parents. We were already beyond them-remember. As we get older and see things more often and compare against our past we start to realize that we were actually just babies when we were teens. Even our twenties are not quite 'full grown'.
To really be enjoyed the most, the person needs to be matured enough to know what 'enjoy' or 'best' really is.

Answer 5

Hai!
In terms of doing all that fun, no worry about profession, about home matters, about money ( if the teenagers have wealthy parents) yes. The teenagers era is the time when ones life is in a peak of fluctuation time, but just for a while. Things are growing, which seemed to attract the teenage and make them enjoy life in diferent way.
In terms of psychological maters ( like growing and being not the same anymore) like you are child, not, but adult not yet either, are frustating. Teenage can be the worst period in this case. Like in intersection, your teenage era will bring you somewhere, someday.

But yeah...to be honest, due to the hormonal function which enriched at the time ones entering a teenage period, life seems more fun and interisting, and things seemed to be more to explore and teenage feel like they are anywhere in the coordinate of those growing things ( this gives more fun!).

Answer 6

The teenage years are not the best years of your life, you remember them more clearly because as your brain changes the way you perceive time changes. After the age of 17 your sense of time doubles. High school seems like it took forever and then you graduate and a couple of years later you get an invite for the ten year re-union.

It is the only time of your life where you have ten times more freedom than responsibility. A middle life crisis not withstanding. So enjoy but as the alcohol companies are say these days "enjoy responsible"

Answer 7

No .. but its afterwards. Teenagers think they know all the answers but they dont.Takes a lot of living to know what your best moments are in life.I think its after those years you can reflect those teen years to fully know that you would of changed those years but alas its too late. But really how can you realize back in those teen years what you wanted? We only had one thing on our mind then. Get outta school and just be carefree, nothing in the world to bother with. Teenage years were fun at the moment ..But that moment doest make them carefree in adulthood.Being an adult takes on a different view for sure.

Answer 8

Hi there moun961, In alot of ways, teenage years can hold alot of happy memories. However, I would not like to go back to being a teenager. They can be very trying and confusing years to grow up in. We are too young for some things and too old for others. In retrospect, I am more comfortable with being older and to be able to have a wider spectrum of opportunities.

Answer 9

The best moments are right now! at all moments in your life consider all moments to be the best, because nothing in this life is permanent, it is always changing and always there will be change, changes to your mood, feeling, and circumstance!!!!

Answer 10

They were fun for sure..But I spent most of mine feeling like an adult but not being able to do what I wanted and therefore just felt frustrated a lot of the time....By do what I wanted..Im talking job wise, living wise..not get drunk or anything!!

I like being in my twenties..I feel Im on the horizon of some really exciting times.. The times that everyone remembers...you know, first house, marriage, kids, career... Making a grounding for myself..

Its this time that I think I shall miss!!

Answer 11

My time was a blast, but it just gets better! I'm single for the first time since I was in high school & I'm having more fun now than ever! Now I have resources and networking so I can do more! Besides, I don't have to answer to anybody. Enjoy being strong, beautiful and naive. (Regardless of what you may think, mom always knows best!)
