Question for teens: does it suck being your age?

My teen years were atypical for various reasons, so I only know what it is like to be a typical American teen through observation. (I'm 30 now, and much happier than I was then.) Most of the teens in this forum, especially teen girls, seem very unhappy. Ironically, teen girls are seen as the physical/sexual ideal by most men (where as guys are usually seen as "ideal" in their 20s), yet I see many girls here thinking they have to do something extraordinary (changing appearance, personality, etc.) to get just one good date. I suppose it doesn't matter if you're sitting on a ton of gold bricks if you, yourself, believe they are lead.

No, it doesn't suck. Things about it do, like how many issues there are with drugs, alcohol, and sex and stuff. However overall I wouldn't necessarily say it sucked worse than other times in a person's life.
