4 Important Things Every Teenager Should Know

According to the UN Statistics Division, the teenage pregnancy rate for girls between the ages of 15 and 19 years in Saudi Arabia was 37.3 per 1000 between 1995 and 2000. The good news is that the figure has come down to 11.6 per 1000 girls between 2005 and 2010! While this is a positive sign, the figure can be brought down even further if there is sex education for teenagers, along with instructions on how to use a condom. This will also have a positive impact not only in terms of the spread of sexually transmitted diseases but on the mental preparedness of the individuals before they experiment.

Here are a few things every teenager with raging hormones should know.

Some Important Tips for Teenagers

1.      To Err is Human: Even the most mature people tend to make mistakes. Perfection is a word that is just a part of the dictionary. You can hone your talent over a period of time and give your best shot to make things happen. As a youngster, you are energetic and inquisitive. So, take full advantage of it rather than pondering over trivial issues that will just consume your time and energy unnecessarily.

2.      Education is Paramount: Life is a challenge. Life is a struggle. We can bet these words are often spoken by parents! Grown-ups have other things to worry about – like putting food on the table and paying bills. But the best part about adolescence is that the only thing you need to worry about is education. To ensure a stable and successful career ahead, focus on your studies and stay away from bad company!

3.      Hurry Spoils the Curry: This is that wonderful time when you start having crushes! Physical intimacy is necessary for two souls to come even closer. However, if you're not completely ready, do not force yourself to have sex or succumb to peer pressure. Before attempting anything physical, make sure you know how to use a condom. This is the only thing that can ensure maximum protection, in terms of pregnancy and diseases. There are various products, like Durex Performa, that can help you have a memorable experience and save you from any adverse consequences.

4.      Party Hard: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy! What's life without some fun? Hang out with your buddies, go out for movies, attend music concerts, go out on a candlelight dinner with your love interest, and simply enjoy each moment of life. When you become an adult, you'll be reminiscing about these times with nostalgia!

Study hard, party harder, make mistakes (but not irreversible ones), and finally evolve into a mature human being. Such is the essence of life!
