These kids suffer at a young age, I'm wondering your opinions on what the hardest age to be is. I'm gonna say 22, because u leave school and enter the real world and it can get overwhelming.

toughest age for me was 4, but as a general answer id say about 12-13 cos everything changes then, school, friends... life
shareAbout 13/14ish... I find that this is the stage where everyone re-organises their friendship groups and some people start growing up.

Probably 12/13... so many things are changing- attitudes, friends, bodies, schools (for some people), values... It's alot of adjusting for somebody to do, particularly somebody with so little life experience as a 12/13 year old.

For me personally, I'd say 15ish. That was how old I was when I was a HS freshman and I hated HS in freshman and sophomore years.. I was so depressed, lonely, insecure, and hated the people at my school.
I can also agree with it being difficult when you are just about to graduate college and enter the real world. I won't graduate until next spring when I am 24. So far things have been great in college so far.. I am not really looking forward to not being a student anymore! Not only the pressures of finding a job, but realizing that you are not getting any younger and that there are some things you wish you ave done differently in the past. At least at 15, you had hope.
My toughest age yet was 17, but that was a little over three years ago.

I had a pretty hard time when I was about 14, I rhink most gils from 12 to 14 have a really hard time, but I am 25 and I get sad everytime I see an old person, i really don't want to get old, so I think like around 70 would really suck too.

I think 16 was the hardest age for me. At the same time it was fun...but internally it is a struggle. Also right now, at 21 I am getting pretty scared about entering the real world...
shareI am 22 and it sucks although I have not entered the "real world" yet, because I am so scared so I am still at Uni!!!! And want ot be forever, cos the real world sucks!!!!
I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every moment of it.

Right now is pretty crappy, but before this I would say 17 was the worst for me. Constant depression that barely got shaken.

There are many ages that could qualify, but not all of them fit for everyone.
I would say 11-15 is a very tough time. You are leaving childhood, but are still not treated as an adult. You also are trying to figure out how you fit in to the world. You are determining your own identity and that can be especially hard if your parents do not agree with your identity.
17-18 is also a tough time. You are going to college and get a taste of living on your own. What you decide to do now will affect your entire future. What do you want to be? Can you put in the study to make that a reality? Will you like the field once you are deep in it?
21 is when one goes out into the world to create a new life for themselves. Can you find a new job that pays enough to pay all the bills?
40 or whenever your midlife crisis hits. You are now seriously questioning your own mortality and reorganizing your dreams, evaluating your life and figuring out where you are compared to where you want to be.

shareWhen you're a teen it's hard and after. Because in high school it's tough fitting in. Even though you're there to work it's all about how popular you are and stuff. Childhood are the best times, you're more confident, happy and don't care what happens.
For I am the one who enters your dreams at midnight & departs your dreams at dawn ;)
I think the hardest age is between leaving high school until you're about thirty. So much happens during that time where you're dealing with leaving the comfort of school, having less support because you're an adult, trying to find a job, trying to just get by while you've also got worries about the state of the world.
Teenage years are great because while you do have to cope with puberty, you are old enough to enjoy some freedom but young enough to have your parents protecting you if you need it.

I think the toughest age to be is around 12. People are changing, including yourself, sometimes you change schools and have to start all over, which is hard. You're really caught in that awkward stage where you don't feel like a teenager or a kid, you're just there.
sharemy toughest age was 14-15-ish I cared way too much about what other people at school thought, etc... contrary to what some others have said though I think 17 was my best year yet. I had a fun job and my senior year was great. of course I'm still only 19 so I haven't yet experienced the whole 22 year old real world thing. (something I'm not afraid of but also not looking forward to)

i dont think its age that matters because all ages have their problems
younger ppl prolly want to always be grown up and think its unfair that they cant do anything and having older sibs might mean getting beat up more
teens are obviously most famous for moody-ness. dont even know where to start for teens
adults (im not one yet) but i think adults are under a lot of stress trying to support themselves for the first time
but my point is. any age is a nightmare when you have to deal with things such as death.

I'd say age 8 because that's when boys stop having cooties. maybe between 8 and 17 because you start experiencing everything. For girls it's clicks, gossip, rumors, watching your back, back stabbing, liking a boy and finding out he doesn't like you, first date and first kiss, first period, fashion, everything. some of it's great and some of it's not. It's life. I don't know much about guys though. maybe a little younger than 17 but either way, it's hard sometimes.
shareI agree with the original poster, im 20 and being in your early twenties is hard, its when you really have to start sorting your life out. but you still feel like a kid most of the time and get treated like one. Its hard, but it was also hard being 11/12.
shareEach decade/age group has their own advantages and disadvantages!
But if I had to choose, I'd choose ages 11-14!
The middle school/preteen years can be fun as you get to still enjoy your childhood and be carefree in the sense you have no adult responsibilities. However, the transition from little kid to teenager thing can be challenging and tough.
First of, they go through puberty. Secondly, transitioning from elementary to middle school is a very big and scary step, as everything is new and different (having 6 classes and changing in the PE locker room in front of other girls, hormones, etc). Kids begin to feel self-cautions especially when compared to their peers, can be awkward at times. Lastly, hormones start kicking in and kids begin having feelings for the opposite sex, etc.
