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.

All ages are hard and tough in their particular ways. The only really good time is childhood before you are 12, because you don't have worries, you just enjoy your life and your parents or other relatives will always be there if you need something.
At 12 you start questioning yourself, your parents and other people's behaviours. You start thinking about how others see you, how to make things to impress and seduce them, etc. Most of the times the problems are really irrelevant, but you see them as big deals. Then when you get older the problems are different and more important because you have to fight for yourself, probably you have your own family and probably you even have to take care of your parents.
Some people think 12-15 is the toughtest age. Actually it is not, but you feel it like that because it is the time when problems START.
I'm gonna say 17, because you are in your final year of high school and you have heaps of exams and the next few years of your life are determined by these exams and then you have your TEE (or whatever exam you do to get into uni). Ontop of that there is the pressure to choose what you wanna do at uni whihc pretty much determines the rest of your life (because how many people go back to uni to do something different after 4 years) and then you also have to pressure of getting accepted into the uni you want to go to. Friendship groups split up (well they did at my school). And just when you think all the problems of being a teenager are about to end, you gain another whole heap of problems. But once you finnish school the rest of the time being 17 is heaps of fun :)

13 takes the cake
share25 is a pain
share11-15: were tough years for me because I was going through puberty and just looked weird. I was so scared, shy, and awkward during those years. Everything including my nose were just out of proportion
29-31: Cause I was facing a new era/decade in my life.
I'm 32 now and I've accepted the fact that I'm now 30-something. Yet now I'm dreading the big three-five 'cause that's the age when you're no longer considered a young-adult.
For me it was the early teen years. Everything went wrong in my life on top of dealing with the normal puberty stuff. I entered the real world of working for a living everyday at 21, piece of cake compared to being a teenager.
shareI would say from the ages of 13-15. It's especially tough on girls because you're changing and going through so many different emotions. Plus add on the stress and torment at high school.

14/15 - Everyone's struggling in school, trying to work out who they fit in with, who to avoid. Why your changing physically and mentally, what your role is in this world and then on top of all of that you've gota work out if that cute boy has noticed you yet.
share11-16 were the toughest for me i'd say.Most of my time at high school was awful !.
sharehmmm... i would have to say ages 9 and 16 were the worst for me.
When i was 9, it was because i was bullied a lot and i was very awkward.
When i was a teenager i had a pretty full on eating disorder, which was at its peak in severity when i was 16.
Between the ages of 12-20 are the toughest.

Age 12-14 had to be the worst for me...by far.
Puberty + parents spliting + constant bullying at school(by teachers even!) = DEPRESSION that lasted years and low self-esteem that continues to this very day.
Whoops, getting too personal there..

Good question, for me the toughest age had to be around 11-12, that is when I got my period and realized I was getting older and growing up. Then I would say around 18 was pretty tough to because your really an adult now and about to enter into the real world.
shareFrom ages 10-15 were difficult for me.
