The life of a teenager is filled with new and exciting challenges. There was a time not so long ago when all a teenager had to do was make new friends and indulge in studies and extracurricular activities. However, today, they grow up before you know it.

 

With the inevitable technological advances and cut-throat competition taking precedence, it is only obvious that youngsters today are exposed to new ideas, people, cultures, and circumstances.

Needless to say, many of them wish to make an impression on the big/small screen as well. Fortunately for them, the entertainment industry has ceased to differentiate between actors based on age.
