Essay on the Best Age for Happiness

Some people think that the teenage years are the happiest times of most people’s lives. Other people think that adult life brings more happiness, in spite of greater responsibilities.

Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Every stage of life starting from infant to teenage to adult and then to old carries the combination of both happiness & sadness. Whilst some people feel delighted of talking about teenage, on the other hand some cherish their adulthood. From my point of view, I firmly believe that the moments spent on the younger age are quite exciting.

Firstly, during this age there is less burden or responsibilities on the shoulders of the young ones. Moreover, their focus is more or less towards studies only. Although there is always a peer pressure of exams, making career and future job, they somehow manage to enjoy with their friends of schools or colleges.

Secondly, teenage is the age of learning and discovering exciting things which the young ones enjoy to do. A lot of unanswered questions, during their childhood, are being answered at this stage of life. Moreover, learning this way becomes an art for them. The skill development phase is prominent in this duration and they can shape – up their career of their own choice.

However, it is certainly true that this phase of life, although, less burdened, is not too far from the responsibilities in the near future. It is being inferred that when you have started earning and living independently, a sense of belongingness towards the family gives a sigh of relief to the adult ones. Moreover, being into adult phase itself is a feeling of happiness.

To sum up, I can say that every phase of life is equally important and cherish able depending upon the state of mind. It is however, rightly said, “teenage is the best age” since dreams start penetrating only in this stage & start accomplishing in the adult stage.
