Deal with the pressures of life positively

I'm writing in response to the letter 'Being a teenager isn't fun any more' (South China Morning Post, March 25).

I agree with the writer, because our whole community, including teenagers and adults, faces a lot of pressure these days.

Students need to handle homework, tests and exams. Our parents are also always asking us to study hard. If my parents see me watching TV even for a short time, they tell me to do some schoolwork. So how can I relax?

I think all teenagers have similar experiences. I would rather be a happy child than an annoyed teenager.
