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.

So far for me 17 was the toughest age. (I'm now 18 turning 19 next month.) It wasn't "being 17" as such just that I really disliked high school and at that point it was my sixth year there and high school had just become worse and worse for me. I wanted to stay on because I wanted the education but I just hated the administration of the school and some of the teachers were giving me grief and I got very close to quitting. Thankfully it was my last year at high school. :)
"Screw you guys, I'm going home!"
All of them. If there's a such thing as an "easy" age, I haven't encountered it yet.
share12 onwards. Girls hit puberty and logic goes right out the damn window. Hello insanity.
Who says violence is not the answer?
I would say from 13 to 17 were my hardest years, the teen years are the hardest years,my 13th year and my 16th year were the worst for me. Also i finished school when I was 24 so that was a hard age too. Adjusting from college party life to the "Real World" is also really hard!
Tough question!
I'm in my late twenties, and being the age I am, I'm on my own in the real world, trying to find good work with all of the competition, and I now know about all of the sick and twisted things that go on that you don't know about as a child. However, if you have a decent job, and place, and aren't bogged down with kids, then life can be terrific at my age!
I guess I'd have to go with somewhere around 10-17. I was very happy when I was a child, as life was way ahead of me, and I wasn't as inhibited and didn't see all of the nasty aspects of life yet. From around 10 or 11, I had much trouble in math during elementary school, and had worries that I would be held back, seeing all of my friends progress. I also had fears about junior high and high school, and how I would never be able to do well in math, so that was quite stressful. Girls were much on my mind as well, so I hated looking like a little kid if I was out with my parents, or if they said something silly, and the same can be said for junior high, where there was a lot of pressure to be popular. Luckly that stuff didn't bother me too much, and despite being picked on once or twice, I was relatively popular, so I escaped all of the horrible bullying that goes on. High school was actually easier for me than elementary school and junior high!!! Yes, the math was still a pain, but everything else came naturally to me, and while I wasn't super popular or went to many parties, I did have lots of friends, including those who were super popular, so yet again, no teasing or getting beaten up etc. I wasn't a pu&&y, so that might have been another reason :)
When you are a senior in high school, the pressure to get into a good college, or any college is stressful, not to mention the pressure of getting a job and heading off on your own, which I loved.
Things haven't worked out as well as I would have hoped, but I think I'm going to stick with my 10-17 pick for most stressful period of youth, and that does not include family abuse or aything like that, just natural things. For me personally, I'd say 10-14 was my least favorite. Math was getting harder, junior high was fun, but the popularity pressure and pressure to date a hot girl was annoying. Things got easier from 15 onward, despite my current situation. Now, the stresses are related to money and work, but it feels great to be an adult and on my own!
I hear you on the job search. I actually thnk we are dealing with the 2nd Great Depression, as so many people I know are out of work and moving back in with their parents etc. Also, many "good" jobs and professions simply have too many participants, as the baby boomers cannot afford to retire due to the real estate crash, professions that are classic like law and architecture have too many people in them.
If you look at the world in general its obvious that some kind of crisis is headed our way as the majority of people now are basically unemployed. Just watch crime and punishment-by the Chinese dissident filmmaker to get an idea of the current global situation-basically totalitarian for much of the worlds population.

For me it was between the ages of 11 and 14 but that is because I had a lot of stuff happen during these ages.

For me personally it was 12. That year was HORRIBLE. It was just so awkward and school was tough...that year was most definitely the hardest year of my life.

For me, it was almost all of my teen/high school years. I went from being the baby of the family watching sweet family films and I was use to people...from strangers to family members being nice to me all the time, and fighting my battles for me. I went from that to being expected to be a "man" all within a day it felt like.
Instead of Batman films, I was pressured to watch porn which I thought was confusing and gross. Instead of having someone fight for me, I was expected to fist fight. Instead of eating pizza, and watching anti-drug shows, I was expected to do drugs. Instead of being kind, warm-hearted, and loving, I....because I was a teen male, I was expected to be mean, sarcastic, immature, disrespectful, and violent. Instead of seeing the police as my heroes, I was suppose to curse them and hate them and fear them.
The list goes on. Yeah, it was a hard, scary, and confusing age. Now that I'm older and wiser, I realize now, my problem was I was around sadly a lot of the wrong people. Pity some of those people turned out to be some of my most loved family members, each one guilty of lying to me in my youth, making me think we lived in a sweet world where I was a Prince, to being thrown off my throne and into the pit of wolves.
