Being a teenager in the 21st century

Being a teenager in the 21st century isn't easy!Although I have many good friends, I sometimes feel that I´m not a child but I can't have the same credits like the older ones I'm in the midle, and for my parents I should behave like an adult and have the same credits of a ten-year-old. Thats what I don't understand! But I also have other problems like what I'm going to do when I end school, I espect a lot from the future , but I now that some teens don't have the same luck, because thay live in ghettos, have drug and alchool problems. And sometimes they are discriminated for not having the same colour or for not believing in the same things. That's why they sometimes start smoking just to belong to a group and end their problems, but sometimes it's when they appear. And when they can't get out of them.
