Everyone is going to go through this time, being a teenager.

Maybe some of you have gone through it, some of you

maybe will go through it or maybe some of you are struggling in this period of time by being a teenager right now.
Well, being a teenager, for example, im 18. And of course, it is the time where you have to go through a lot of things
in your lifeMore than you imagineYou have to struggle academically, physically and emotionally. Teenage life is
the time where you decide your path, your choice, whether it is right or wrong, whether others opinion are important
or not. You tend to question yourself with a lot of things on what you should do, what have you done and so on. Well,
its the moment when you starting to mature.
Sometimes, youll be a kid again when youre being teenager. The time when you learn what you have done all this
while by being a kid. whether it is a lesson,a joke, a reminder and whatsoever, its your choice. Because it depends
on how you look your childhood life was.
An undeniable thing by being a teenager is you have to fight physically and emotionally. Say that youre 14, 15, 17,
and so on..yet you have to be strong. Youre going to allow your heart to be broken a lot of times even though you die
so much that you dont want it to happen in your life because who likes to feel the pain? Yet, you did the same
mistakes again and again. Im not pointing to anyone, because Im not perfect either. Same goes to me, I did a lot of
mistakes and Im struggling being a teenager right now.
People said , first time is mistake. So, you have to learn from it and never make the same mistake twice because it
will be your choice.
what if.. you do the same mistake for third time, fourth, fifth and so on.. Well,same goes then, the third, fourth and so
on comes because of your choice made by mistakenly choosed.
My life, of course, might be different from you..mine , even though in the same Earth, yet were different people, and
Allah has destined the His servant with different path
How about problem? Nobody comes without any single problem, everyone has problem..SAME but, how they go
through the problem is the matter that would be the distinct differences for each person in this world.

We will test you with a certain amount of fear and hunger and loss of wealth and life and fruits of
your toil. But give good news to the steadfast: Those who, when disaster strikes them, say, We
belong to Allah and to Him we will return. Those are the people who will have blessings and
mercy from their Lord; they are the ones who are guided. ~Chapter 2, Verse 155-157
We cant simply judge people and say they look happy and always smile because they dont have any problem and
dont feel the pain in life. No, its not as what you see.
Ive a lot of friends in campus that look like always-smile-happy-go-lucky personbut actually deep inside, theyve
gone through a lot of things in life. Creepy life, sad, and miracle things happened far than we can imagine. And they
have a lot of untold stories. They just show you the only part of them that you want to see.
Every people has 3 parts of life :
1) Part of them that they choose to reveal to you.

2) Part of them that how we see them

3) Part of them that you might dont want to see.
For those who exercise patience, Allah (swt) will help and show a way out of every difficulty.

And for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out,
And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if any one puts his trust in
Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish his purpose: verily, for all
things has Allah appointed a due proportion.
~Chapter 65,
Verse 2-3
Allah (swt) in various places in the Holy Quran links patience and perseverance to success.

Seek Allahs help with patient perseverance and prayer. It is indeed hard except for those who are
humble.
~Chapter 2, Verse 45

Be happy being yourself I do understand many of you sometimes wish to be someone else, but believe me,
there are lot people who wish to be you so much but you dont realise. Im a teenager, and it happened to me,
wishing to be someone else when I have a lot of problems. But then I realise, my problems were not so heavy
that compare to othersand I praise to Allah for giving me a lot of things more than I deserve.
Alhamdulillah..
