范文

　　The teenage years can be the toughest stage of a person's life. Teenagers are no longer children, but they also aren't quite adults yet. This means the relationship between teenagers and their parents changes a lot and can cause problems within families. In addition, friends become bigger influences in the lives of teenagers. Peer pressure can make them confused and do things that may have negative results, such as rebelling against authority. Also, this is the time when hormones first start raging inside their bodies.

Talking about problems with others can be helpful. If teens can find trustworthy people to talk with, this period of their lives may go smoothly.

　　青少年时期可能是人的一生中最辛苦的一个阶段。青少年已不再是小孩，但他们也还未完全长大成人。这意味着青少年和父母之间的关系有很大的改变，而且可能会导致家庭问题。此外，朋友在青少年生活中的影响力与日俱增。同侪压力可能会让他们觉得很困惑而做出一些有负面结果的事，像是反抗权威。另外，这时期也是荷尔蒙最早开始在体内肆虐的时刻。

　　青少年要如何处理好这种种问题是很重要的。其中一项处理这些困难的方法就是了解它们是生活中很自然的一部分。和其他人讨论这些问题可能会有所帮助。如果青少年能找到值得信赖的人来说说话，他们生命中的这段时期可能就可以平顺地度过。父母和朋友应该要耐心倾听青少年的心声，并提供建议来帮青少年度过这困难的阶段。

进阶范文

　　The teenage years can be the toughest stage of a person's life. A person's teenage years are full of all types of challenges. It's at this stage that problems at school and at home are most likely to emerge. Regarding problems at home, the relationship between teens and their parents undergoes dramatic changes. At school, classes become more difficult and friendships get more complicated. All these challenges can seem overwhelming to those in their teens.

　　How teenagers handle all these problems is important. In reality, there are many places where students can go for assistance. If parents are unable to help their sons or daughters in this regard, school counselors may be able to provide advice and guidance. It takes courage for teens to seek help, but their problems may have negative consequences if they are simply ignored.
