Adolescence

Humans are most intelligent animals on the earth. The most different humans between other animals on the earth is that we can make decision with our emotions and able to make love as the emotional time.  The period adolescence is most syndicated change to human’s development period.

Adolescence 11–18 years Puberty leads to an adult-sized body and sexual maturity. Thought becomes abstract and idealistic and school achievement more serious. Adolescents focus on defining personal values and goals and establishing autonomy from the family.  Even though sounds very nice strong and confinable but still left a damage to people. The changed started with inside our body first, it release the chemical issues and then goes to our head then muscle and at to the mind. The different out comings issues will affect the ways of teens thinking, acting and doing. It will stay in the teen body till the adulthood. Some of adults even carry with it chemical changing. It is normal.  The change will make the teens feel as supreme, as if they are the best in the world, everyone else  are less intelligent and slow then themselves. Therefore the irresponsible crazy and wild are the nice names when the teen in this period.

All the students who are in middle school and high school; they are very impulsion to do wrong things. Adolescence has a strong treachery, they wouldn’t talk to their parents about theirs self and wouldn’t listen to what the teachers say to them Adolescence this period is a hard time for themselves and their parents, they don’t like to spend that much time to do some valuable things with their parents or friends.  They will hang out with their friends to have fun, but they don’t really spend time to share each other secret. Some of them are not that friendly at all,  they mean to their friends, say bad things behind them. Most girls had sex before they graduated from high school; some of them don’t even care get pregnant. They never think about their future, and what their parents feel. Or in other way to say it, they had never cared how their parents think and feel. And they never think that what will happen after what they did, they have very unsmarted mind in this period.

Adolescence, this period is between childhood and adulthood, begins after secondary sexual characteristics that appear and continues until sexual maturity is complete. It is a period during which the bones are still growing and there are some high risks of skeletal injuries. Rapid physical changes are accompanied by important psychological changes relating particularly to the way the adolescent perceives themselves. This can be a turbulent time for people who are adolescences. Parents and others, especially sports coaches and teachers, who work with adolescents, must be very sensitive to both the physical and the psychological changes taking place during this period. It is unwise for adolescents to take part in exercises which put undue strain on the growth regions of their bones. I am very cautions of body language before I read this article. Because I am from another country, and while I was working with others, and a lot of time we used body language and hand gestures to explain what we need. When I meet people the first time, I always walk up and shake their hands first. After that, I know what kind of person of he/she is by the ways of body language.This is one reason why they are usually excluded from taking part in long-distance running events, such as marathons.
