Teenage angst is the feeling of the “ugh-I'm-so-misunderstood-what-is-life?” part of adolescence.
By definition, angst is a feeling of anxiety about your life or situation.
Why do you think teen angst is so common in today's teenagers?
What solutions can you recommend in dealing with this state of mind?
Explain.
I believe that teens have this feeling because most of the time everyone is always judging or making fun of one another. And nowadays people feel ashamed so they try and hide who they actually are. People make them feel less of a person so that's why i believe that teens have this overwhelming feeling of not knowing who they are what their life is. I believe that they are scared what people will think of them. If someone's in this state of mind i would recommend doing something that they like doing, like listening to music or hanging out with friends. And to be positive!
ReplyDeleteI agree, everyone is so judgy in our day and age.
DeleteI really agree.
DeleteTeenagers are always angst because of there school life. There is so much drama happening at school it is sometimes overwhelming for some people. Other sources of stress are project, school work and studying. It is very hard to study all night and to have that feeling of anxiety for the exam the next day. Dealing with all the stress is doable but can very hard for some people. My method is to do something I really enjoy like listening to music, playing a sport or even playing video game. Another good thing is to talk to someone about it or right your feelings down in a diary.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteI personally think that teens feel angst because of many things like friends, family and school. For some teens anything like a little promblem can seem like a huge deal in the moment. Teens feel like this for many situations either cause they are confused, lost etc. So many things go on in teenagers life's that seem like the end of the world but the main thing to keep in mind is to be positive and alwyas remember that it may be a huge issue right now but it always gets better later on.
ReplyDeleteTeenagers are always angst because of there life everything is going on so fast they can't keep up. Teenagers have more responsibilities they have more things to do for the family. Teens get stress out a lot it's hard for teens to think with everything happening around them. You can help teenagers keeping them focus in the mode or give teenagers brakes at one point if there is responsibility after the other it's hard if there is a responsibility then a pause then a responsibility so on and so on.
ReplyDeleteIt's very true what you just said
DeletePersonally i believe teenagers fee angst because of how their lives are going.Like they feel their life is going to fast and can't keep track or follow.Sometimes things get pilled onto them and they cant handle it so we break under pressure. Responsibility upon responsibility is too much.Most of this comes from school and home and they carry what happens at home to school.I think a good way to help is not to judge a person about how they dress or what they have but to accept them into the "school" and helping get through what they need too and always be positive.
ReplyDeleteI agree my dude
DeleteI agree , teenagers break under pressure when having a lot of responsibilities .
DeleteTeenagers back then and teenagers today all go through the same thing and the same problems. We either have friend problems or life at home and school and love issues that we still can't seem to handle. We sometimes need others to depend on. We think we always have everything under control but the truth is we don't. We're just teenagers. Romeo and Juliet both fell In love and you would think that they would be happy but they weren't. No one was happy for them and that's why they had to sacrifice so much. We are usually misunderstood , but sometimes we get lucky and find people who can relate. Our life might be hard right now but it's going to get harder as we grow up. When we are teenagers we think that life is hard and it is but it's gets 10 times harder as we grow. We have all these problems in our lives and if we just spoke to our friends about our problems we might be surprised and get great advice. Teenagers might make their parents go through a lot but they will always love us and we will always love them. It's probably most common now because we add more stress on ourselves and we try to hard to fit in with others. Teenagers go through so much and we make small problems even bigger and that's why we all go through angst.
ReplyDeleteI think teens these days feel that way sometimes because they are hormonal and they're lives are changing and maybe it's because some teens are looking for attention. It can also be because of the fact that they have a tough time in school or at home and they need attention or they might just want to be rebellious. There are a number of possible reasons but to be honest I don't even see angst as much as some people make it sound like there is. Either way it can be also due to the fact that our newer generation is misunderstood because of the way things are going and how the future is here and is happening now and our parents or elders may not understand it making us feel as if we are alone etc.
ReplyDeleteTeen angst is so common because it is the time that teenagers have to deal with turning into an adult and receiving more and new responsibilities than when they were kids . They are feeling misunderstood when making a mistake and feeling ashamed and disappointed in themselves . For example , teenagers are told that they need to receive good grades to get into a a hard working program to succeed in life and if not they have limited amount of things they can do and might not get the job they wished to have . My advice for teen angst is just to try your best and not worry about what others think about you because their opinions do not matter, all that matters is what you think of yourself and be proud of your accomplishments .
ReplyDeleteAgreed 100% with all your points.
DeleteI think teen angst is so common in our generation. Teenagers have to deal with all sorts of problems such as school, life at home, sports and or having so much pressure to do well. Such as in school, you are told to get good grades and you'll succeed. As for some people, it's not as easy as saying it. We have a lot of pressure to do well and when you're not, the stress levels of your body raise the roof because now, there's no choice. This doesn't just involve school, it can also involve outside of school. But I do feel that team angst comes particularly from school. My advice for teen angst is to be yourself and always try your best. All that matters is for you to be yourself and not care what other people think. It's all about you.
ReplyDeleteye school is a big problem
DeleteThat is very true Andrew, good advice.
Deletei think teen angst happens to teens because were getting mature and stuff.Some people are really serious sometimes and some are so annoying.I think teen have angst because school,love etc..
ReplyDeleteI agree that teenagers get stress out because of serious stuff like school, family, etc.
DeleteTeens now a days have to deal with a lot and it usually get's to them and makes them anxious and to lack self confidence. Now a days wherever you look there's hate, and it's like if you don't have your little group of friends your picked on, and even when your in a group of friends there's still the hate from other people for no reason, no one wants to get along anymore. Another thing would be that there's so many groups of different people and sometimes it's hard for some teens to find out where they belong best with the people that understand them the most people they share the same interests as them. Another big problem is that now it's hard to find people you can trust unless you already have your close friends you know you can trust. Teen's just gotta find out where it is they feel best, where they feel like they fit in the most and to find a group of friends just like them and make friends and to ignore the others that try to put them down or hate on them for any reason possible. If everyone where to just stop making fun of each other and just stop all the hate life would be so much more peaceful and a lot more pleasant for everyone.
ReplyDeleteGood points, I agree.
DeleteI think there is more angst in today's teenagers because there is a lot of things they hate and feel anxiety. One of these is family problem. Some teenagers hate their parents because they hate the rules and stress in the house. Another is school. This is because teenagers fear the mark they get on their test/quiz or the stress to study. Sometimes, they just want to relax and get away from the stress. The best way is to calm down and do something that calms you. It can be chatting with your friends or watching some Netflix. Even listening to some of your parents rule can help.
ReplyDeleteI agree schoo is a huge cause of stress.
DeleteI think angst is caused by all the stress and pressure put on us today. We have to do well in school to get into good cegeps and universities, we all have sports and extra curriculars that we want to be the best in. Being popular and fitting in at school is another big worry for many kids. I think people should just chill more, stop caring what everybody thinks about you, and just be yourself. If people could stop taking everything so seriously and enjoy life more then they wouldnt feel so anxious all the time. My motto is "you be you" it works.
ReplyDeletereally good points, i agree!
DeleteBetween Not listening, being on their phones, a hoodie pulled over the face to conceal embarrassment, not being able to rise before two in the afternoon. Teenagers are associated with the worst of human behaviours like sloth, rudeness and risk-taking.But i feel we are the exact opposite, we are the future generation. I think this is caused because parents think that they know what it is like to be a teenage now a days but in fact they don't, it is very different now than back then we teens find it frustrating that our parents think they know everything.
ReplyDeleteI think angst is caused because us teenagers have so much on our minds like school, friends, family, home life, sports and more. Everybody always tells us that school is the most important thing and it should come before everything, but when people tell us that we get so nervous and stressed out that we start acting a certain way and start changing who we are. Kids like us should really just enjoy being kids and doing fun stuff like video games, hanging out with friends and being on our phones because when we will all be older and have a family and kids we will look back at our young age a say "Wow i really should of done some more fun stuff to make good memeories with when i was a kid". And when you are older your going to regret just focusing on school and not having a good time.
ReplyDeleteI think that teens have angst because there are too many things happening in their lives. The have to deal with school and maybe family problems. School is what causes the most stress because everyone wants to get good marks and for that you have to study really hard every day. But not only that, maybe this person has friend problems or is bullied and he or she would feel alone and miserable. In that moment maybe you feel like its the end of the world but its not, I think the best way of treating this problem is to talk to someone about it. They will give some advices and it could really help.
ReplyDeleteI think many teens experience teenage angst because there are a lot of changes and adjustments in their lives. For example, when you first start at high school, there are many different friend groups and you just want to find the right one and fit in. There is also a lot of stress because of marks and trying to get into cegep. I think It's mostly teenagers that get it because there is so much to take in over these years that it is almost overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteits so true that everyone wants to fit in
DeleteIn my opinion a lot of teens experience teenage angst because of their society today and how much pressure people put on them. For example, technology and social media is probably a big part of it and having to put ray yourself in a certain way to be better then others. I also think that another big part of it are the parents and them putting pressure on their kids for school, technology and other things like sports. I think it would help a lot if we stopped going on our phones or any other technology so much and do something else instead. And for the parents, I think they should just really start understanding how much pressure they are putting on their kids and stop it.
ReplyDeleteOnline is a problem.
DeleteTeens have this feeling because they have so much do deal with and they get stressed. In today's world everyone judges each other for what they look like, act like and that is why most teens have anxiety. Also the stress of doing homework. I think their is no solution to this because there will always be something that will make you have anxiety. Online is probably the biggest problem.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you statement, nicely written and thought through.
DeleteKids are told at a young age they can be anything, and to strive for the best. I believe this is the cause of teen angst, as we get older, we realize that no, you can not be anything you want and that striving for the best is painful. I believe we could fix teen angst just by telling kids that they are not special, they are not likely going to become something amazing, but that being something not so great, is good enough.
ReplyDeletethe reason so many teens experience angst is because we have to deal with a lot of change and trying to find our place in the world. for example making the switch from elementary to high school is a big change because everyone is trying to fit in a make new friends. your expected to act like everyone else but you just dont fit in. I understand what's its like to be different but I found my way and made true friends who dont pressure me into someone I'm not. nobody's perfect and maybe if all teens be who they are then their wouldn't be anymore teen angst.
ReplyDeletei think that angst is also when teens have anxiety or alot of pressure put on them because they start to grow up and mature. you start to go through alot of changes and life starts to become harder and harder every day. you dont want to go through this alone so you start to realize who your real friends are and make new ones.
