Teenage Culture And The Normalization Of A Teenage Society

Parents now days believe teens are misbehaving and not listening more so than teens in years past. However, kids in years past had more control and authority of their own life’s unlike today’s kids who have to rely on their parents. Adults now days have complete authority over teens unlike teens in years past. Teens back in the day were able to find work at an early age and could choose whether or not they wanted to attend school. With that being said, today’s teenager’s growth to adulthood is being prolonged due to society’s changes. Coontz states, “relations between adults and teens are especially strained today, not because youths have lost their childhood, but because they are not being adequately prepared for the new requirements of adulthood.” (McIntyre, 2014, p. 8) Therefore, society’s sociological and historical changes are the real reason for adult and teen

The belief that students and kids have to live up to social norms, are implemented on them by social influences, more specifically, their peers.

Changes in their bodies, brains, thinking, values, friends, responsibilities and expectations cause events that are usually a time fraught with turbulence, for both the teen and their parents. This is a normal part of human development, and must be endured in order to come out the other side, hopefully well-adjusted, happy, healthy, and

" It doesn't matter what society thinks of you. People are going to think what they want to think, no matter what you do, so just be you. Many people do not realize that in today's world, and they spend too much time focusing on portraying themselves as someone they are not. The chorus of the song repeats, "Ignore the world, let the music cave in/ close your phone and breathe in the air/ you'll soon realize that there's something that is/ so much more than this. " Sometimes, letting the word go and finding yourself in something else, other than drama, is what teenagers need.

Legally Blonde follows a young woman, Elle Woods, who is initially presented as a pink-loving, high-pitched squealing, vacuous-but-pretty sorority president. When her boyfriend breaks up with her because he “need[s] to marry a Jackie, not a Marilyn,” Elle decides that she needs to set loftier and more serious goals for her education and career in order to win him back.

First of all, this movie represents blonde stereotype. Blonde stereotypes are, as the name suggests, stereotypes targeting people with blond hair especially women with subtypes like blonde bombshell and dumb blonde. Blondes are viewed as desirable for their looks but not their intelligence unlike brunettes (Wikipedia, 2018).

I don’t know if it is possible to sum up everything that happens to a teenager while we go through high school. Each of us is different in almost every way. Although we all experience different struggles, temptations, hardships, and lessons taught to us in life, one constant similarity can always be found.
