For teenagers, life can seem exciting and confusing at the same time, can't it? As a teenager, you're on your way to becoming an adult. It's a time of important changes and important questions.
A lot of these questions are about identity. Truthfully, you're an individual, but you're also a product of your family life, your social environment, and your culture. Your identity includes your beliefs(信仰), your values and your actions. You may choose to spend more time with other people whose values and personalities are like yours. That's natural.
Then there's personality. If you love parties and are interested in meeting lots of new people, you're probably outgoing and selfconfident. Personality is tricky(狡猾的). You may be different in the eyes of different people. For example, friends think you have a great sense of humor, but your brother might think you're not humorous. You may feel shy, while other people may think you're unfriendly. You may think you're fair, but you may still seem unkind to a friend.
Understanding yourself and how others see you can really be confusing!
