Teenage Years

When I was about 12 years old I was involved in things that I shouldn't be involved in and those things made me somewhat happier but those things were not the things that I should do at my age. One example is that I started watching p*rn and I got so addicted to it and as you know that it hacks your dopamine production, at that time I was really happy and excited that I found those things, but I am talking about the importance of teenage years thats why I wouldn't go deep into that, because it was just an example of all the things I did in the past. I belong to a really strict and religious family and I think I didn't realised it til now that it is a good thing. But at that time when my parents started to know about what I was doing and they got really upset and some of my relatives also started to knew it. My parents ignored it but my relatives didn't and they didn't liked me much for many years after that as they didn't expect this from me and thought I was an innocent child. That part of my teenage years hit me hard but this is not the main thing that ruined my teenage years. One time when I was doing it I got recorded by one of my friends and to this day that friend and some of my other friends have that video. At that time I got scared what if they leak it or show it to my parents, it was the most difficult time of my life. I had to become mature in order to deal with these type of things. So I told myself that these teenage years are not gonna be good or like other's teenage years. When I had to visit my relatives, I was ashamed of what I did. It wasn't just about myself but also a threat to the honour of my family. So I made a pact that day that I won't ever do anything like this but my teenage years were ruined because nobody respected me in my relatives and in my friends circle and I still say that it wasn't completely my fault because I was just entering my teenage years. A 13 years old boy doesn't know much about the world that's why I did those things and I still regret those things but now I am living a very happy life and I have a very good relation with my relatives because its been 6 long years to make my reputation again and I wouldn't dare to do these type of things ever again. So, as I was mature in my teenage years I didn't really enjoyed those years, I didn't had any opportunity to make any mistake at that young age too and I didn't learn much but still learned to be mature. Now I don't care what people will think about me as long as my closed ones don't care. So that's the story I wanted to share and tell everyone that don't ruin anyone's teenage year just because of a single mistake. Let them make mistakes and they will learn themselves and even if you want to point it out, point it out in such a way that they don't feel ashamed and still learn the lesson. Cause teenage years are the best years of everyone's life. Everyone has the right to enjoy their teenage years without being punished for their every mistake. And most importantly enjoy your life.
