The onset of adolescence, generally between 12 and 14, is the hardest age for a teenage girl. The hormones of puberty cause her to feel her emotions more intensely but she has not yet developed the reasoning skills to know how to handle them.
A survey of parents found that those famously tough ages aren't actually the worst. More parents actually said that eight-year-olds are the most difficult kids to parent.
The most dangerous age is 14. If you know any teenagers this might not come as a surprise, but research has confirmed that risk-taking peaks during this exact moment in mid-adolescence.
One's late twenties and early thirties, from an emotional perspective, are therefore the worst part of life. It's during these years that people experience the most negative thoughts and feelings and experience the most mind wandering, a psychological state that has been shown to be detrimental to well-being.

A recent survey showed that parents of 12- to 14-year-old teens had a harder time than parents of toddlers, elementary school children, high school children, and adult children.
According to a study published in the Social Indicators Research journal, we're the happiest between the ages of 30-34, and midlife (our 40s and 50s) is not perceived as the least happy period in life.
A new survey finds most Americans believe the “sweet spot” in life is right in the mid-30s. A poll of 2,000 people finds four in 10 would not go back to their 20s. Instead, the perfect age to be frozen in time at is 36 years-old.
They found that the oldest group they studied - people who were between 60 and 90 - did better than other ages on almost every count. Psychological well-being peaks at about 82.
Early Teens (9-13)
Rebellion typically rears its head at the early onset of adolescence. This is the point of life where a child is beginning the transition into adulthood. Wanting to 'grow up', the child expects more independence and will oftentimes act out in order to gain their desired goals.
Puberty in girls usually begins between the ages of 8 and 13 and lasts for several years. It is the time where your body develops and matures. Puberty prepares your body so one day you will be able to have a baby. The changes are caused by natural substances in your body called hormones.
Some changes in puberty can be difficult. Many girls anxiously await the opportunity to wear a bra for the first time. But other changes, such as your daughter's first period or changes to her size can be scary.
According to this recent study, the most stressful number of kids to have is three. From my experience, I actually found having only one the most difficult (although I was a mom to an 'only child' for a very short time).

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons conducted a poll to see when we reach peak attractiveness and apparently it's in your 30s for both men and women. Women are reportedly most attractive at age 30 while men reach peak attractiveness at age 38.
A recent survey has suggested that the people between the age group of 30-40 years are becoming the latest victim of the imbalanced lifestyle. Gone are the days when only the teenagers were considered to be the most unfit with their excessive binging and unhealthy eating habits.
A study done almost a decade earlier explains it the best possible way. It's based on US survey of 2,000 people has found. The study, carried out by Allure magazine, found women are considered most beautiful at 30, show signs of ageing at 41, stop looking 'sexy' at 53 and are thought of as 'old' at 55.
The most unhappy time of your life is your forties, according to a phenomenon known as the “u-shaped” curve which states that happiness bottoms out around your forties then trends back up as you grow older.
The dip in life satisfaction occurs around the age of 45 until 54, and is seen across many wealthy English-speaking countries, including the United States, Canada, the UK and Australia. There were similar findings in these countries for the emotional aspects of happiness.
Among older people, upbeat moods could mean greater life span. Happy people don't just enjoy life; they're likely to live longer, too. A new study has found that those in better moods were 35% less likely to die in the next 5 years when taking their life situations into account.
For some parents, infancy is the hardest. For others, it's toddlerhood. Some parents feel that the preschool years present special challenges.
