Why is it harder to be happy as a teenager compared to when you were a kid? From that question I had an idea of showing the two feelings of a kid and a teenager in a dypict. Happiness means different things to different people for me it reminds me of family, friends, places, and sports come to mind. I was always happy. I never had anything to stress about. The only thing I was scared of as a kid is if was getting caught eating another cookie. Once I became a teengager you have so many responsibilities especially in high school. I have homework, my job, sports, and now college applications. Teenagers are often stressed with school because of the workload required. We often have tests and projects due all on the same day.  My artwork showcases this perspective of happiness between a kid and a teenager.

My photo on the left is a teenager stressed. She is with all her work scattered on the desk. Her head is down to show how overwhelmed all of her work is. My photo are the left shows the kid playing with a simple toy. Kids are always happy except for when they do not get what they want.
