What's It Like To Be A Teenager?

Adolescence is a perfect period of life. It doesn't matter where you are from and where you live, if you are a teenager you will definitely be into the same kind of things. Let's check.

The majority of teens are fond of watching movies and serials. It's not so popular today to watch TV or DVD but all modern teenagers know how to use the Net to find every movie they want. Have you ever heard of Sherlock, Queen's Gambit, Thirteen Reasons Why, Big Bang Theory? This list can be endless.

Another thing which is very popular is music. There are so many different genres. Which one are you keen on? I know that there are always two groups of teens: those who are fond of listening to rock/rap music and those who can't stand these genres.

What about fashion? Are you into it? Instagram makes fashion very popular nowadays. It's not only a very common hobby, but also a free one. You can love what you want and make it as fashionable as you wish.

Another part of the Instagram industry is blogging. There are so many teenagers who have their own blogs, where they tell about life in their countries, studying, education, food, travelling, fashion, etc.

Another national pastime is online window shopping. In the past, it was very common to go out to the markets or malls to find something interesting, fashionable and new, but modern teens are crazy about shopping on the Internet. Some of them can kill hours just for scrolling the fashion feed without buying something. Honestly, I think that online life has become a kind of pandemic for modern people. Do you love hanging out with your friends without mobile phones, the Internet or laptops? Do you remember the last time you went camping or on a trip to the countryside? I promise you will love it.
