11 Things I Wish I Knew As A Teenager

I was a teenager once. Every one was. It's the most complicated phase of life, yet very special. A phase where you remember the most.

The child in you wants to enjoy but there is also an adult in you who is supposed to do things you are terrified to do.

That person inside you is all confused when you are a teenager and I was no different. But now, as someone in their late twenties looking for stability in life, I want to look back and tell a few things to my teenage self.

Here are some things that you must read.

1. Marks really don't matter and I could have made a few more memories in school than beating myself up over what I scored in tests.
