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.
