I can always hear
people

debating whether adulthood is better than teenagehood or the other way around.
Thus
Linking Words
, I decided to have some discussions with my school friends and my grown-up relatives. Here are my perspective after deeply thinking about the topic and the discussion.
To begin
Linking Words
with, I want to talk about the teenage-year-side. I think
people
Use synonyms
say that the teenage years are the happiest period of
time
Use synonyms
because compared to adults,
teenagers
Use synonyms
have less stress. Adults usually have a lot of stress on them. Those stresses can either come from their families, their jobs, or their social lives.
On the other hand
Linking Words
,
teenagers
Use synonyms
only need to care about their academic achievements and less complicated social life.
For example
Linking Words
, my parents always have to worry about how much money will be left for us to buy groceries after paying the utility and the house mortgage. They
also
Linking Words
need to worry about our academics in school. Meanwhile, the only thing that I need to be concerned about is how to get into a good university. If you look at it
this
Linking Words
way, you will find that
teenagers
Use synonyms
are certainly happier than grown-ups.
However
Linking Words
,
on the contrary
Linking Words
,
teenagers
Use synonyms
sometimes cannot experience the happiness that adults have. One example that I can think of is having a family on their own. I know that in most countries
people
Use synonyms
can get married
while
Linking Words
they are still a teenager,
however
Linking Words
, most
people
Use synonyms
won't do that. As a grown-up, you can have a wife and babies to build a family. Having a family can give you a lot of joy,
such
Linking Words
as hearing the baby call you mom or dad for the very first
time
Use synonyms
and watching a movie together for the first
time
Use synonyms
. These are the simple happiness that most
teenagers

cannot experience.
To conclude
Linking Words
, I cannot say which is a happier
time
Use synonyms
, as they all have pros and cons. If I can choose, I will want to be an adult because I really want to have babies.
