Unit 1: Teenager Problems

To be a teenager is very difficult. Teenagers are too young to stay out late and too old to stay home just because of a headache or a cold. You can’t behave as a kid and bother your little sisters or brothers.

The appearance is another point. You can look gorgeous in the morning and miserable in the evening just because of that awful zit that decided to show up the very day you have that terrific party.

But don’t worry too much, pimples and adolescents go always together and in a couple of years it will not be a

problem anymore, just memories.
