Adolescence is a period that someone
absolutely pass after his or her childhood. It is also a transition period
between childhood and adulthood. Person who are being in this period called
teenager. In this period teenagers’ development are fast. Mostly, teenagers
tend to learn about their selves and what people’s think about them. Also, they
are labile.
I feel that adolescence gives
effects on someone’s future or adulthood. A child who grew in a well family,
for example, is not definite his or her future to be a good person, because at
adolescence, teenagers have their opportunity to choose which one they are
prefer to. They have learn about good or bad things that they have to choose.
Their environment affect teenagers’ attitude. It could be their family,
friends, teacher, or relatives.
I believe the useful thing that
teenagers done at adolescence is they try to find their identity. They start to
define their selves, criticize their selves, then they are unsatisfied with
their selves and turn their selves into another person that they think he or
she is better than them. Those make teenagers are labile. The way people look
at them and their origin (who are their family and relatives, their childhood
and experience) are affected the teenagers to find out who they are.
In my opinion, being a teenager has
the eases and difficulties. The ease, for example, I can dress up with many
colors and many modes. It doesn’t matter at my age, because I still young.
Imagine if the old people dress up with bright color? They will look gaudy and
it does not appropriate for their age. Another ease is I can gain a lot of
experiences from my family, friends, relatives, teacher, and people around me.
Then I can pick values from the experiences that I got.
Adolescence is the most confused
period in my life. Sometimes people consider me to think and act as an adult but
sometimes they think I only just a child. For example, I was not allowed to
involved in my parents’ conversation. I was wondering why they did not allow
me, besides I also a part of family? It was confused me. Another example is
when I got a home work and I asked the family members to help me, but what they
said was “you can finish your task by yourself, you’re not a child anymore”. Oh
my God.. I sighed deeply at that time.
Therefore, adolescence is a
transition period which every child will pass, to change a child to be an
adult. Just enjoy this period and use your brain to lead you to the bright
future.
