Different stages of our lives give various levels of happiness. While some believe that increased responsibilities do not hinder an adult's happiness, I feel that it gives them a lot of stress unlike teenagers.

Teens are generally happy because they have less responsibilities. They do not need to pay bills like their parents do. Instead, teenagers only need to focus on finishing their homework, or doing some chores.

In addition to this, they are not required to work to get money. Rather, they get their allowance from their parents. They would then spend this for shopping or attending parties without having to think about tuition fees or taxes. Teens are typically care-free and have more fun.

On the other hand, some believe that adult life brings more happiness. It is true that adulthood comes with greater responsibilities but the personal satisfaction from earning your own money is unequivocal. Also, most adults start a family and the love that a family gives always plants a smile on one's face. Some even claim that the happiest moment of their lives was when they first saw their children smile for the first time.

Being adults likewise, releases people from restrictions. They are allowed to vote or travel alone around the world. This results to meeting new faces and discovering new places. You can also enter bars, drink, and have fun with colleagues from time to time.

Yet all this happiness can be eaten out by stress. I think that problems occur more often with adults. Their own families are counting on them, and work commonly gives huge loads of mental stress.

Personally, I think that even though adults have the luxury of earning their own money and traveling around the world, teenage life, even with its limits, is happier because of the decreased amount of responsibilities and stress that goes with it.
