SOME PEOPLE SAY being a teenager is the best time of your life.

Others say that they were glad to emerge at the other end of their teenage years unscathed and would never want to look back.

A lot happens during those formative teenage years: it’s a time of a lot of “firsts”.

First holiday without your parents, maybe even moving out, first loves, holidays with friends, big exams, embarking on careers or education. And that’s all while battling some pretty intense hormones.

Ahem. It’s all part of growing up.

There are a lot of brilliant milestones, rites of passage and new experiences to enjoy at that age. It can also be a bit of a bumpy ride, as we’re coming to terms with adulthood and figuring out our place in the world.
