Some people think that the teenage years are the happiest times of most people’s lives. Others think that adult life brings more happiness, in spite of greater responsibilities. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

A group of individuals presents the view that the happiest time of one's life is when they are teens,

while

others believe that despite

' responsibilities, they are more likely to be more satisfied with their lives. I strongly agree with the latter opinion. On the one hand, some people justifiably argue that

adults

can benefit from a wide range of activities that make them feel happy.

Firstly

, they can pursue careers that match their interests and talents. Following

such

careers gives them a sense of satisfaction, which is vital to being positive and happy.

Secondly

, developing your own family and living with your loved ones are things that can bring a true sense of joy and fulfilment.

Finally

Linking Words

, if

decide to go on a holiday, they are very likely to benefit from the necessary resources.

In contrast

to children, they are independent and are able to afford a vocation without worrying about their financial or educational status, which can improve their moods.

On the other hand

, another group claims that since

are supported by parents and do not suffer from having tight schedules, they can be happier. They firmly insist that children not only benefit from peace of mind but

also

spend quality time with peers.

Consequently

, having high standards of living provided by parents,

teenagers

should not have any issues that make them sad or disappointed.

However

Linking Words

, I do not find

this

argument convincing.

Although

financial stability and excellent amenities play a significant role in one's happiness, other factors should be taken into consideration.

For example

, most

are deprived of the freedom that they desire. In

regard, they may have to participate in compulsory voluntary work as a part of school programs.

In addition

, they are sometimes compelled to go to bed early, leading to several mental problems

such

as depression, which hinder them from being as happy as possible.

To conclude

Linking Words

, in my view, living as an adult provides the opportunity to be satisfied with your life. From my perspective, there are several activities, having a well-paid job and getting married,

for instance

, making
