Just do it! Producing: Produce an e-poster which is aimed at appealing to give more understanding to teenagers who are in their adolescence period. Apply your confusions and expectations to your poster to make it more impressive.

My version As our teenager, it is a struggle for us to get used to all the changes happen inside us. Apart from the physical changes, we suffer much from the psychological ones. We wish to be focused on and approved. Adults may take it for granted that we are still too young to make our own decisions. Therefore, many things are not allowed. And it is so confusing that sometimes the stronger we need to be trusted, more things are messed up. Then, parents would be the target of our bad mood. We want to be better. But we really need understandings.
