From my point of view, the teenage years are the most decisive years of our life.
Firstly, when you are teenager, you have to make the most important decision of your studies. This decision of your studies affects your future forever.
Second, it is essential to point out the fact that when you are a teenager, you choose your friends . This fact affects the tipe of life you want to lead.
Third, we must consider that our personality is shapped in teenage years. This step will determine the type of person in the future.
In conclusion, the decisions and actions we take in these years will influence our life. It is important to avoid mistakes and to think in the consequences of what we do.
