It is while growing up that children and teens are most vulnerable. Because they lack life experience, foresight, and the ability to think clearly, young people often make decisions that are unwise and even downright harmful to them or others. This lack of maturity and its consequences is demonstrated in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, where teens’ poor decisions lead to the deaths of many. The play’s tragic end is not the result of deliberate malicious actions, but rather the consequence of the emotional, untamed impulsivity of the play’s younger characters. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the reader experiences how the impulsive nature of the youth results in them making poor decisions that can end in tragedy.

Before being introduced to the contents of the play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, understanding of the argument Shakespeare was attempting to convey, is that adolescents are impulsive and cannot make decisions themselves; and if they did, they would be subject to consequences that could ultimately cost them their lives. However, after reading Juliet’s parts, I was able to see that Shakespeare wasn’t arguing such at all. Instead I saw that Shakespeare was asking a question of who is mature, as opposed to stating that children are immature. So, as a reader, my original perspective of maturity between youth and adults within the play was altered because of Juliet’s usage of measurements and quantitative

There was a new girl in class, Joslyn, who Brock thought was the prettiest girl he had ever seen. All day Brock couldn’t focus because he was thinking about her, what to say and what to do.

As Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet shows that teenagers make decisions out of spite and romance, many people today also believe that teenagers can make rational decisions.

The age of adolescence has gained a reputation of being a strange and pessimistic part of the life. Many Adults look down on teenagers because of the growth of problems that stem from their questionable decision making skills on very important decisions that would affect them during for the rest of their adolescence and adulthood life. This state of life has been looked down upon ever since the 16th century. As seen from the story Romeo and Juliet where Shakespeare shows teenagers as most stereotypes shown them, as people who does not think about the risk that comes with some of the situations they’re in. From this it can be said the Shakespeare sees the adolescents in a negative view because of their ways of impractical thinking where they don’t think about what the decision they make during that age could affect them later in life and risk everything for one thing and show how the teenage brain acts on an impulse which he shows via the adolescent characters in the play, Romeo and Juliet.

Having not quite reached her fourteenth birthday, Juliet is of an age that stands on the border between immaturity and maturity. In the romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, love changes Juliet throughout the story by going from a loyal-obeying daughter to her dad then to being a very disrespectful teenage daughter that every parent is scared of because of the influence of her husband. Not only did this trigger her to change but Juliet was also forced to marry Paris whom she did not want to be near. Young Juliet also believes that her dad does not trust her, which she’s not mature and she should just let her husband be in charge. "My child is yet a strange to the world. She hath not seen the

Throughout the tragic drama of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the youthful protagonist makes impulsive moves. Romeo and Juliet demonstrate emotional responses directly linked to the maturity of the teenage brain. Detailed studies were conducted on the frontal lobe of numerous adolescent teenagers.

In Romeo and Juliet, written by the prominent writer William Shakespeare, two teenagers fall in love. Because of their families’ feud, they are not allowed to be together. It is very different back in their era. Juliet was set up with Paris, a kinsman of the prince, by her parents. However, she does not have any true feelings for him. Her heart belongs to Romeo which she has loved from the first time she set eyes on him. This is shown by what she said to the nurse “Go ask his name.- If he be married, My grave is like to be my wedding bed” (1, 5, 133-134). Romeo does not interact often with his parents in the play and spends most of his time outside of his home. Juliet interacts more with her parents then Romeo but Lady and Lord Capulet are unaware with what is happening in her life. Lord Capulet is very rude towards Juliet and tries to plan her life for her. Romeo and Juliet are rebellious towards their parents because of their lack of understanding when they are not allowed to act on their love. Their parents do not allow them to be with each other because of their families past. Romeo and Juliet’s parents care for their children but are clueless about their secret marriage and the stress the two teens are going through in order to be with each other.
