According to a Netmums survey, 13 is the most difficult age. But it's not only parents who find it hard going – it's tough for the teenagers too. Here's how to make it through to being 14, by Miranda Smith, aged 14 and four months.
根据一项网上调查,13岁是最困难的年龄。但这不仅仅适用于那些发现很难度过的父母,对青少年来说也很难。下面是由14岁零4个月的米兰达•史密斯来讲诉如何顺利长到14岁。
1. Don't put up pictures of yourself on Facebook with a bottle of WKD beside you and a comment like: "Got SO drunk last night." No one thinks it's cool – and WKD is only 4% proof.
1. 不要把你身边摆着一瓶沃可德酒的照片放在Facebook上,并加一个评论:“昨晚喝得太醉。”没有人认为这很酷——WKD酒只含4%的酒精。
2. You're going to feel a whole lot more grumpy when you're 13 than you did at 12. But the thing is it's not just you – every other 13-year-old feels exactly the same. Knowing that helps a bit.
2.你在13岁时要比你在12岁更多地感到脾气暴躁。但问题不仅仅是你——每个13岁的孩子感觉都完全相同。知道那会有一点儿作用。
3. It's tempting, but try not to be on your phone 24/7. It really bugs your parents but, worse, it's boring for your friends.
3.这是诱人的,但不要一周中每天24小时都耗在你的手机上。它确实会困扰你的父母,但更糟的是对你的朋友来说是无聊的。
4. Thirteen is the age when you're likely to start getting attention from the opposite sex. Don't get carried away by this – there's nothing more moist than a lovesick 13-year-old.
4.十三岁是你可能开始关注异性的年纪。不要对此得意忘形——没有什么比一个害相思病的13岁少年更滋润的。
5. Don't send pictures of yourself in your underwear to ANYONE – because they'll end up being spread around, and you'll regret it.
5.不要把你自己穿内衣的照片发给任何人——因为他们最终会以四处传播而告终,你会后悔的。
6. Your friends will annoy you, make you angry and get on your nerves. But don't insult them on Twitter – 13-year-olds do that all the time. Twitter is a public forum, and if you start tweeting about your issues anyone can get involved even if it's none of their business.
6.你的朋友会惹恼你,让你生气让你愤怒。但不要在Twitter上侮辱他们——13岁孩子一直以来都是这样做的。Twitter是一个公共论坛,如果你开始在推特上抱怨你的问题,任何人都可以参与进来即使不关他们的事。
7. A few months ago, you hardly thought about your body at all. Now it's the only thing on your mind. Of course your body matters: but the thing to think is that no one else notices it as much as you do. So try to chill about it.
7.几个月前你很难会想到你的身体。现在它是唯一萦绕你心间的事情。当然你的身体很重要:但要想到的是没有人会像你一样那么地注意它。所以尝试对此冷静。
8. At precisely the moment when you decide there's no better way to spend a Saturday than staying in bed till afternoon, your parents will become obsessed with you doing the chores for them. Rule of thumb: you can only say, "I'll do it later," five times. After that, just do it.
8.恰恰在这一刻你发现没有比呆在床上直到下午更好的方式来度过星期六,你的父母会变得痴迷于你为他们做家务。经验:你只能说“我稍后做”五遍。在那之后就动手吧。
9. Thirteen-year-olds have massive fights with their friends, all the time. A year on, you won't even remember what those fights were about – but you will remember how unhappy they made you feel.
9.13岁的孩子所有这段时间与他们的朋友之间有大量的争斗。一年过去,你甚至不记得这些争斗是与什么有关,但你会记得他们让你感到那么得不高兴。
10. Plan a really good party for when you reach 14. When the parents say they want to be around you'll think, "OMG no," ... but it's probably going to be best to let them stay. Agree on the conditions, and stick to your side of the bargain provided they stick to theirs.
10.当你达到14岁时计划一个真正好的派对。当父母们说他们想要在你周围时你会想“天啊,不要啊”……但让他们待着可能是最好的。赞成一些条件,在协商中坚持你自己那边他们坚持他们的。
