Every person will have to face the inevitable part of life: the awkward, confusing, anxiety-inducing, beautiful, wild, incredible thing known as “being a teenager.” The teenage years can be a good thing: the body is changing and stepping out of adolescence, and the mind is developing more and more. However, teens have to face a lot of negative things, too: bullies, the pressure of social media, angst, and the lack of motivation to keep a positive attitude.
As a parent, raising teenagers can be quite challenging. Not only are teenage girls and boys are dealing with their changing bodies, but they’re also dealing with other teenage boys and girls, their fears of speaking up in the classroom, their anxiety about college and the future. Every teenager is anxious, whether they admit it or not. As a parent, you want to share your wisdom with your child because you’ve been there, and you know what it’s all about. However, no teen wants advice from their parents.
As young adults, it can be tough to navigate life, from insecurities, body image, relationships, friendships, social media, high school and college, and so much more. Being a teen girl or a teen boy can be overwhelming and scary, and sometimes reassurance is needed that you’re not alone in whatever you’re feeling. If you’re a teenager, sometimes a positive affirmation or a motivational quote is much needed to get through the day(s).
Here are some positive quotes for affirmation, inspiration, and motivation. Some of these quotes can be great for a laptop or phone wallpaper to remind you of your potential every day.
Inspirational Quotes for Teens

To be a beautiful person is to be kind, loving, strong, empathetic, brave, empowered, and so much more. These are inspirational quotes for teens to feel motivated reminded that every person is so much more than their looks.
