I think teen pressures are natural and fair, besides for the college financial pressures, as Dusty mentioned. Whether you like it or not, you spend your teen years getting ready for adulthood-- obviously there are going to be a lot of changes you won't like. I'm 18, so technically still a teen, but although I hated a lot of sh*t I've had to deal with in high school, I still appreciate the hardships as part of who I am. Once you learn how to deal with issues and then get over it (physically and emotionally, emotionally being the hard part for most teens), puberty gets way easier
