I just want to know which age group you think has the most problems. I know most people would chose the age group they are in, but try to think in general. Personally, i think that people stress out the most when they are in their forties. They are just realizing that most of their life is over, and they are not young anymore (can u say mid-life crisis). That is when they feel pressed for time, like they want to live their lives in the little time they have left before they become so old they are unable to.

So, what do you think....

I have to say the teenage years.....it whene you have to start planing for your future, your changing, your pressured to get better grades, thers tons of peer pressure,and all tht stuff.......thats why teen suicide has gone up alot since the 50's...

Either teenage or colledge age. Pretty much when people first start to taste reality is when it hits hard. You have that whole "depressed/pissed off" thing going on almost constantly, and no matter where you turn things just keep getting worse and worse...yeah...I'm done...

teens all the way with high school and college and stuff

Defintly the teenage and college years. Like everyone said, reality starts hitting hard, and they need to work hard in school to get a good career. Also they can't mooch of their parents and have to start gaining their own money. Plus with all the taxes and loans they are going to be paying. err..thats like collage people

Teenage: They're starting highschool! They depart from friends they had in middle school, and they're definitly pressured to get good grades just to get in college.

Teens, its angst 24/7 with roughly 60% of them

I have something i have to say about the who has it the hardest stuff i always get mad seing like people i know woh have a nice house and stuff say my lufe sucks i've been through shit. i'm like no you had a bad day an iraqi has been through shit. and they'll be like "my parents hate me" yeah sure you get fed every day and have a bed to sleep in at night they really must hate you. doesnt that just piss anyone else off?

I'd say the teenagers, considering we get all of the other aged people throwing sterotypes on us, not too mention all of the physical and psychological changes we have to go through. Rejection from infatuations, insecurity, adults glaring at you because of what you're wearing, etc. I don't know how many times I've had elderly people just gawk at me in a store because I'm wearing a black shirt x.x;;
Also, with school and everything, we have the pressure on us of "You don't pass this test, you're going to be a bum on the street for a living". We get soooo stressed out with stuff like that.

Little kids don't have to deal very much with that stuff since all they really care about is playing with their friends all day. Young adults are busy partying and screwing up their lives on purpose. Elderly people have been through hell and back, so they're pretty much ready to die and could careless about anything else crazy that happens in their life...according to my grandpa anyways xD

I can't really say if you want to base it on personal experience. I'm in between saying college and teenage years. I'm in the transition but since I'm only starting college now. I have to say I'm leaning more on teenage years.

In our adolescence stage, we're obviously faced with so much changes and then the life altering choices, we can't really think straight, eh? It's hard. Harder than what elders think and say.

Academically speaking, high school life (which is also part of the adolescence stage) is waay easier so teenagers don't really have a big problem there. It's just life in general, I think.

However, even if I haven't experienced it. In the whole group, I would say adults (people out of college and above) have it hard above all. They have to deal with so much: work, taxes, familly, personal life. <_< It's scary. I'm actually thankful I don't have to deal with that... yet.

I had it hard but who doesn't, eh? :rolleyes:

Teenagers most definitely. Teenagers are going into high school if they aren't already in it and are constantly being pressured with grades and college is constantly looming overhead. First it's the SOLs then it is the SATs, teenagers are always having to prepare for something. They start getting pressured by parents to get good grades and it sometimes feels like there is nothing outside of school that matters.

There are also pressures from your friends and teenagers' bodies begin to mature and that causes other stresses. Peer pressure occurs, in many cases, possibly for drugs, smoking, sex, or maybe just to do something they don't want to. People are always judging you...

Later on, you have to get a job which only adds more stress to your life. Driving can also be rather stressful as well as the process of being about to drive, permit/license and whatnot.

A lot of elderly have it pretty bad as well though. Elderly have to deal with medicare in most cases, which has been problematic lately. They are looked down upon as cripple or useless. I know if I was elderly I'd probably feel pretty worthless so that can be pretty taxing.

Middle-aged people have it very tough as well though... Taxes, houses,appartments, jobs, family, bills, and random other problems they encounter. Of course, as mentioned by DB ;), they are growing old and begin to fear it. It seems like around 40 (probably younger even since I've never experienced it) is the peak of life; people younger want to grow older and people older want to grow younger.

Every age group has it's problems and it's tough saying who has it worst since we obviously all are quite biased XD.
