'The teenage years are the best years of one's life.' Would you agree with this view?

Personally, i would not be at an advantage in taking a stand on this issue, because i'm barely past the sixteenth year of a long journey - life. To a certain extent, this topic statement holds true; is it not in our teenage years that we have everything in our hands? Youth, vitality, health, you name it. The very tools which we use to shape our visions of bliss, happiness, and FUN.
But of course there is another take to this question. The teenage years are those long periods of conflicting self doubt and rebellious feelings; the urge to FIND the real you, and make yourself be heard over the overwhelming din - the constant nagging and voices of your so called 'superiors', or simply elders. The emergence of the new tide of EMO KIDS, clearly highlights this area of concern. Are they just lost souls, or are they actually just confused, troubled with this new term thrust right in their face, ADULTHOOD? Whatever the case, there is no denying that these EMO KIDS are the ones who will lead the world forward in time to come, shouldnt we stop and really pay them more attention and concern? Yes? No?
Finally, life is just a flash; to sit back (not lie back) and relax (not laze), not to ask yourself at your deathbed whether this was all just a dream. There is just once, LIVE it. i'm sure you would want to look back at the teenage years and say, ''Yes indeed, i have seen through this meaningful and enhancing period of life.''
