Ответ
The first poem is about the problems of growing up: parents do not understand the teenager, there is stress, unhappiness, bad looks, and hard teenage years.
The second poem is about the same kind of problems too, but it also gives advice on how to deal with them.
The first author writes only about the teens’ problems. The second author suggests solutions.
Phrases introducing problems: Why is nothing ever easy? Why are some boys so very sleazy? Why can’t I have that brand new dress? Why am I under so much stress? Why don’t my parents ever believe me? Why do I feel so often unhappy? Why are all these years really hard?
Phrases introducing solutions: Be true to yourself, forget all your faults; Live life to the max and paint your town red; Don’t let them win and make you feel bad; enjoy your teens and have some fun.
If you ask me, the most important problems are misunderstanding with parents and feeling unhappy about yourself.
Actually, I think that these problems are the hardest because they can make a teenager feel lonely and stressed.
I find these ways useful: be true to yourself, forget your faults, and try to enjoy life. It is also important not to care too much about other people’s opinions.
The first author feels frustrated and unhappy about being young. The second author is more optimistic because she advises teenagers to enjoy their lives and be themselves.
The first poem is signed a frustrated teenager because the author is annoyed, disappointed, and tired of teenage problems.
John could write the first poem, because it shows frustration and problems with parents and appearance.
Estelle could write the second poem, because it gives positive advice and sounds more cheerful.
Bart could also fit the second poem, if he is the more optimistic teen, because the poem encourages confidence and fun.
My attitude towards teenage years is positive. They are not always easy, but they are an important and interesting part of life.
Growing up means becoming more independent, responsible, and mature. It also means learning to understand yourself and other people better.
