Life was diffifcult because things were very different then today. The biggest difference is there was no teenager stage in life for men or women. Males went from children to grown men without the stage in between to prepare them for the transission. Daily burdens brought much struggle for teenagers during this period because there were absolutely high expectations for them. They had to perform as well as any grown up, the difficulty being that they did not have the proper experience. The positive was the fresh helping hand(s) to support the family increased the overall wellfare of the family. Teenager's ays were full of labor, work and things we consider boring. Freetime was something they barely saw and entertainment came in only the smallest forms.
Teenage life in ancient Rome was very different from that of teens today. It seemed as if Roman youth went directly from childhood to adulthood without the transition period of just being a teen. When boys reached the age of 15 or 16, they were given their toga virilis
and were considered an adult. Girls were hustled off into marriage at the age of 13 or 14. Being young, they were not expected to know it all and the boys went with their fathers to gain experience and learn the ins and outs of their professions. If they were wealthy, many times the boys were allowed or sent to continue their eduction. If they were poor to middle class they joined their parents in the family business. The girls, went to live with their husbands and learned the ins and outs of running a household from their mother-in-laws,
in addition to what she had learned at her home. This is just a broad outline of a Roman's
teen years and they were not all bleak. There were special events for the youth, such as the Trojan games and there was undoubtedly hanging out in the forum. The ancient writers warned of the "corruption of youth", which could be interpreted as a reaction to teenage hijinks.
girls couldn't go to school, but boys could.

It was rainy and warm. The climate of ancient Rome was mostly the same as present day Rome. It was hot in the summer, and winter was pleasant. It was usually a moderate amount of rainfall.
