Why is being a teenager so difficult?

Because you're in Middle School and Middle School kids think they are old and mature. They have pretend drama and try to act like High Schoolers and College students when they're barely more than a more annoying version of Elementary School kids. These people try to make life Hell for the ones who aren't immature wannabe-drama-queens. Just relax and enjoy your days of very little homework and studying because High School is not too far off. In High School, especially Junior year, you get much too much work and studying to do. Don't act like most Middle Schoolers and stay out of the drama, your life will be much happier without it.
