Some people say that today's teenagers are easy. When their parents, even their parents, are teenagers, they don't know what it is. They didn't go a few miles to school, worked hard to help the family economy, create their own entertainment, and so on. It is said that today's teenagers like luxury, courtesy, disrespect for their elders, and do not go to school seriously to refuse authorization. "The times have changed," some say, today's teenagers have changed to reflect the changes of the times.
Before we look at today's teenagers, let's take a look at the impact on the youth stage since the beginning of mankind. When they are teenagers, these effects appear on our grandparents and parents. The times have not changed the following observations:
1. Adolescence seems to be a period of seeking personal identity, an attempt to liberate youth from childish obedience to parental authority. It was during this time that the boy asked with a serious attitude: "Who am I, how do I come from my parents, sometimes from all other teenagers?"
Adolescence is often a period in which group relationships become critical. Teenagers are very eager to gain the status and recognition of his age partners. He tends to be strongly eager to meet the actions and standards of his peers. It is highly secure.
Adolescence is a period of rapid development and growth of the body. Adolescents must adapt to the body image, primary and secondary sexual development, coordination, increased appetite and reduction, requiring rapid changes in rest and physical activity. Many physical and mental energy is working hard to cope with school, peers and parents. Schools are seen as a very artificial environment for young people. Their desire for activity is physically restrictive and unnatural. Of course, they must also accept changes in adolescence and adapt to psychological needs within the framework of social expectations.
Adolescence seems to be an era of complex intellectual and cognitive development. Believe it or not, the psychological function of adolescents is the same as that of most adults and better than some adults. However, they lack experience related to newly discovered intelligence. Unfortunately, they often reject the experience provided by adults. In the development of thoughts and thoughts, many adolescents lack direct motivation for the college to learn and perform "to achieve their ability in school".
5. Finally, discrimination tends to have time to reassess social values, customs, morals and religious teachings. Parents, teachers, and religious authorities say that good/bad, moral/immoral and right and wrong will be challenged by our young people. Look forward to it!
Although adolescents of all ages have the above-mentioned effects on their development, each generation of adolescents is uniquely affected. Let's take a look at some of the contemporary influences that influence today's youth, which have made his generation stand out from other generations of teenagers.
Today's society is more free. We are more tolerant of differences. Abortion, sexual values, divorce and other similar issues are the subject of television, film and teen family talk. Teenagers are also discussing these issues. Because they are confused or threatened by adults, they also have anxiety about teenagers. Lower voter age and drinking age increase the participation of adolescents. Today's media and advertising agencies have had a huge impact on today's teenagers, which may reduce the impact of parents on teenagers. Of course, teenagers know the alternative lifestyles they can use, lifestyles that are different from their parents' lifestyles. When parents and teenagers challenge lifestyle differences, conflicts arise. The power struggle has developed and parents risk the failure to often fail in this power struggle.
Today's family is smoother and more unstable. A 50% divorce rate in the family usually causes the teenager to move further to the same age group to obtain social benefits. Cars further allow teenagers to spend more and more time away from homes and mobile phones, away from the mainstream of family activities.
Some personality traits seem to be especially important to this teenager. First of all, the feelings expressed by adolescents are strong. For example, if a parent likes to pass information from a close friend of a young person, then the teenager usually responds in a strong, extreme way. However, when a parent asks a teenager about his "D" level in mathematics, he may calmly answer: "It's gone, isn't it. It's no big deal."
Second, young people respond poorly to any criticism. They are self-conscious about their appearance and behavior. If they don't have the permission of their peers, they don't respond well to the direct suggestion: in the same subject, teenagers don't like the irony of their parents, but they seem to be ironic experts.
Third, young people are very positive about themselves and have the right way of doing things, but they are very dependent on the impression of others. Surprisingly, how can teenagers state what they are not sure about.
Finally, teenagers often seem to believe that when they are no longer "controlled" by their parents, they will be happier, and "doing their own things" will make them happy. However, so many teenagers are not satisfied with "doing their own things."
A letter to a young parent:
You need to remember that a teenager is a person; he is a different adult. He will show the behavioral characteristics of his age group and also show his humanity and human behavior. cheer up! They will eventually grow up.
