School life is the happiest life of an adult, working now in any company. However, have you asked a school goer how it is? It's not that rosy phase which you are always nostalgic about. You might be like we are having a wonderful time now at school as there are no pressures and we are just enjoying life. Seriously?

There are many of my seniors, and older people who are like 'My childhood was spent in the playground, and you have mobiles when you are just in 6th, you know I got it when I passed my school. That too not a smartphone like yours.'

Dear people times have changed, and so are the priorities, competition, expectations, and performances too. We might be living in the 21st century with having access to mobiles and the internet at a very early age. However, our life is no easy. We are in a time when everything is a competition, and we are fighting amongst the best people to reach a destination that we don't know where it is.

This is one of the main confusions of a teenager. We are brainwashed to believe that we are in the best era to study and make something great out of our lives. This breaks us. Breaks our mental strength, making us believe we are a fool.

Why people? Why?Why do you do this to us? Why can't you accept that life is only your perception and should not compare it with ours. You might be a sister, brother, or a parent to a teenage son or daughter, but you are not them, so stop enforcing your past ideals on them and try to understand. Kindly,talk to them and be a moral support to us. This is something that we are so much in need of.

Coming to my section,to the people I am a representative of; we cannot keep blaming that our lives are wrong and there's no one to understand us. Do you know yourself? Do even care about yourself or just are going with what the world has to say about you. Why not accept that we are in a world that works on comparison and comparison at any stage is inevitable.

My point is, why do you let the world's comparison harm you.Why does it even matter to you? If it affects you then unconsciously you are also comparing yourself with others, and that's not what a healthy person does. Don't be so weak that you fall prey to pointless comparisons around you. Be strong, build yourself as a rock that cannot be broken and not melted too. Believe in yourself now so that when you grow up, you'll be strong enough to face all the wrongs that come your way.

Finally,

Live, love, laugh, all now.
