Teenage

It is a period of life, where everyone have passed through. We can define teenage as a period after the childhood, It goes from puberty to the full development of the organism. The adolescence begins between 12 and 13, and ends at 18 and 21 years old.

This part of life brings psychological, physical and socials changes. For example, in the psychological changes. Teens tend to change constantly mood like feeling happy and sad. They also act like children, but also tend to have an attitude of maturity as adults, been able to make decisions for themselves.

In the social part, the teenage tend to choose their friends, spend more time with them than with their family; therefore, outsiders tend to have much influence on their lives. Social groups starts to be one of most important part because they try to search their personality. 

In the phsycal changes, it is different for women and men. In this part the body start to change they do not look like children. So, they begin to see themselves as adults.

Another characteristic is that they change them likes for example: in the clothes, in their hair, room decorations, music, movies and activities. They have more interest in dance or out to parties with their friends. Also, they  opt for a crazy life and do what they want. So often, they tend to make many mistakes in the life. In, nowadays we can see this, drinking alcohol or ingest drugs that generated addiction, have children or choose wrongly in love.

Therefore in this period, parents should have more authority over them

Typical areas of conflict between parents and teenagers can be:

·         Discussions due to the time restrictions teenager.

·         The friends.

·         The time shared with family versus what time spend with people their age.

·         School and job.

·         Cars and driving privileges.

·         Quotes and sexuality.

·         Clothing, hair and makeup.

·         Self-destructive behaviors such as smoking, alcohol and drugs(American pshycological association,2015)

This is one of the most important period of the life, but, it is also the most difficult. Many people can say that it was not easy, where there were mistakes, teachings, new sensations and unknown things appear. In another hand, take decisions about what is right or wrong.

Also, the inability of young adolescents to consider the consequences of their actions that they will have in the long term.

Some mistakes of adolescents happen for the lack of information or because they do not have parents to tell them what is wrong, and often give them freedom to do whatever they want.

I think that the most difficult during adolescents is the love because is the first and they think that it is the unique love for all the life.

About my teenage I think that for my was difficult, but, also I spend a good time with my friends, I met new people, I made mistakes but learned from them. I changed my thinking, my hair, my clothes, among other things. I remember when I was in the high school that, many classmates were in problems of drugs, alcohol, in the house and many girls were pregnant. 

 I think the most important thing is what remains, as memories. The choices we make in the teenager will be reflected forever.
