Adolescents have shown though emotion and action that someone can grown up way too fast and blow through everything not even realizing it. Since our society has changed so much over the past 60ish years, most kids have grown up, just as Holden did in The Catcher in the Rye, but still today we have this rebellion towards the older population. The teenagers of this century can still relate to the feelings of Holden and still will for…
Until that summer, my long apprenticeship to maturity struck me as arduous and humiliating; Randy White had confiscated my fake draft card, and I wasn't yet old enough to buy beer-I wasn't independent enough to merit my own place to live, I wasn't earning enough to afford my own car, and I wasn't something enough to persuade a woman to bestow her sexual favors upon me. Not one woman had I ever persuaded! Until the summer of '62, I thought that childhood and adolescence were a purgatory without apparent end; I thought that youth, in a word,…
When you are in the childhood age group, things that seem big to you actually are not all that big. For example, when Dennis' mom tells him he has to go to Margaret's house while she goes to work all summer, he acts like it is the end of the world. In the adolescent age group things get a little more stressful. Some things that are stressful for the adolescents are keeping up their grades because school has gotten harder, getting a job, making the team, and things like that. With the adulthood and older adulthood age group comes the realization of necessities needed to just get by because it is the first time you are supporting yourself. As time goes on you get more and more worries like; house payments, car payments, life insurance, taxes, bills, etc. Also, if you decide to have kids then you have to think about the costs of diapers, clothes, bottles, milk, baby food, and other baby necessities. The worries and stresses go on and on and seem to never…
It comes as no surprise to anyone that teenagers are sometimes naturally moody, angst-ridden, and emotional as they transition from childhood to adulthood. No one, that is, but teenagers. For adolescents such as myself, the shifting position that teenagers come to in these years is awkward at best, and painful at worst. The sudden responsibility and pressure thrust upon a teenager in the latter years of high school (and often before) is near impossible to easily adjust to, especially when there is no real preparation offered. When left at the confusing crossroads of a seemingly transitory crisis, teenagers are faced with serious internal and external conflicts, often manifest in manic-depressive and abusive tendencies, as displayed in Salinger’s…
Life of a teenager comes with a lot of obstacles. While society throws many obstacles to the youth of today, the biggest 'monsters' are the ones we as a person create ourselves. The anger that is projected from a person, greed, the pride, the jealousy, or even the constant need to be number one. Today's society struggles with the thought of being left behind - exiled if you will, it's even worse for the youth of society, fore they are the ones who are creating the future. Like the monsters in Beowulf we as society struggle with common issues, like the ones I mentioned earlier.…

Deep inside every single one of us is a younger, a more youthful self. Although it seems as if we’re completely different people as we grow, that isn’t the case. We are simply a more mature version of our old self shaped by our previous life experiences.…
The author’s perspectives imply that Romeo and Juliet as well as teens today challenges are not being able to identify which are the adults or children. Although being grown of age usually means being…
In contrast as adults we see things in a different light. It seems like the older we get the more cautious and skeptical we become. We know we can’t be whatever we want to, and everything won’t be handed to us. Ideally we would like to hold onto this simple outlook on life but as life begins to beat individuals up the view on the world begins to alter.…
There have been certain qualities constantly attributed to youth such as passion, aggression, and impetuousness, which have been viewed in both negative and positive lights.. Many argue that “youth” is an inexperienced and immature stage of life and are in disagreement as to whether the qualities of youth can be beneficial for politics, or detrimental. Speculation has also led to debates about whether young adult brains are biologically ready to make tough decisions.…
Youth all over the world through history, has been a revolutionary force. It is the precious asset and opulence that can revive a nation going through hard time. Youth of a nation can do wonders if availed, trained, educated and informed in an optimum fashion. Literally it refers to all the human force in a nation lying between the age group of 18 – 29 years. Though tender an age, yet the intellect, physical strength and wisdom it possesses has no parallel.…
This is evident that at the age of eighteen, the human brain has still not reached its full maturity, but is just in its final stage. In the present times, adolescents are growing up too fast and are really not prepared intellectually for the world. Now, one can argue that this period of preparation is what will comprise young adulthood, but what I am pointing out is that teenagers do not have enough time to discover their true potential and passion or talents. Sure, they can drive, vote, and work in their local fast food joint, but they haven't been given the chance to mature emotionally gradually.…
On the other hand, there are many bad sides of being adolescent. For instance, no one take us seriously and mature for making our decisions on our own. Like, no one trust us. They all think we are still children with no responsibility. Secondly, we are all responsible for every act we made and we are taking consequences on our own. For example, if we steal something, we can get punished or even worse. It can be togh right? Thirdly, adolescence is the period of life when little problem seems like a big one.…
At the same time being young is easy because it’s easier to adapt to new things. Young people doesn’t have self-rebukes about unfulfilled life and unused opportunities – whole life is ahead of them.
