Life-Why is it always throwing daggers at you?

Life as a teenager sucks balls-end of story. They say (media, parents teachers, etc) say High School and teenage years are the greatest years of you life. In the extent that your in your youth and glory, possibilities are endless and there is less responsibility. But despite those positives, theres so much social pressure. I don't know if its me, but High School is a tough place at times. You have the pressure to good from your parents while your busy satisfying you social needs as well. On top of this, if you have at home problems then you got even more piled up on your plate.
I give my one friend credit, she works part-time and still somehow manages her school work. I would love to get a job soon, but now I'm considering waiting a few months and seeing how school goes or just waiting till summer. God, life sucks when theres so much you want and you wanna work for it but you cant! I'm immobilized by not having my license yet and a car.
But I think to myself today this will be all worth it one day and once I'm adult there will be more challenges but also most opportunities!
