Teenage Relationship Between Teens And Adolescents

If you know William Shakespeare you know the play “ The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet”, a tragic story that proves that love makes teens do crazy things. I have found evidence that teens make lots of risky discussions. Parents also affect the way teens act based on how they treat the kids. This story has many people wondering if they treat their kids bad how will the outcome turn out.

Adolescence is a time where adolescents grow and mature at a rapid rate. It is also a time where adolescents are more vulnerable to taking risks, such as using and becoming addicted to illegal substances, due to raging hormones. Whether or not an adolescent chooses to engage in drug use and abuse depends on their home environment and those they choose to associate themselves with. Adolescents are confronted with an enormous amount of pressure to participate in risky behaviors by their peers. According to Broderick and Blewitt (2015), “risky behaviors are behaviors that constitute a departure from socially accepted norms or behaviors that pose a threat to the well-being of individuals or groups” (p. 389). One such risky behavior is drug use and addiction. Some adolescents use cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and prescription drugs in order to get “high”. Adolescents who engage in drug use are likely to become addicted, and thus, their addiction will negatively affect their brain development.

Today’s teenagers are more prone to drug abuse because they see it as a way of rebellion. Author Tiana Rosenberg stated on 2012 that more and more teens are smoking each year because it is considered cool. It’s a form of teenage rebellion, the carelessness and disobeying adults. Teens think they are invincible and overweigh the pleasures of doing drugs over the risks. Part of the brain dealing with making decisions are still developing (Moore

Teenagers are often seen in society as careless and dangerous in the U.S. society. With many articles on adolescence, this thought stays true. Although, in a basic psychology book the author contradicts this thought. The author of a basic psychology book merely states that peers often coincide with parents on encouraging teens to do well. So, what’s the truth? The best way to answer this is to analyze articles that have strong support for their opinion on adolescence. An article by the name of “Why Teen-Agers Are the Worst” by Elizabeth Kolbert explores the possibilities on why teenagers may be dangerous. Kolbert’s thesis is “At moments of extreme exasperation, parents may think that there’s something wrong with their teen-agers’ brains. Which, according to recent books on adolescence,

Teenagers are very impressionable and their young minds can be easily influenced by society. It doesn't mean that they don't know right from wrong, but they do look to others for answers and guidance so that they will know how to survive in this sometimes seemingly cold world. When teenagers get their

The reason teenager has a common rebel to thing is because we are still young people. Also, we still are learning about how important authority is. Teens look at their surround and older people are rebel showing other young people that it’s okay to be against authority. They also show youth that it Okays to grow up and be like them. Teens are like sponge; we soak in everything that we watch every day and copy it because we think it’s okay to be like our role models.

A common misconception amongst teens is that love is simply saying “I love you” or buying gifts for their partners. However, our generation does not understand the the complexity of the depths of love. There’s reason to believe that teenagers can not experience true romantic feelings for one another, let alone love. Love has so many components to it that adolescents do not comprehend. True romantic feelings have depth and require a better understanding, which teens do not have.

Most of the time romantic experiences during our adolescence are short and superficial and at times this assumption would be true. Duration of romantic experience during the adolescence time are usually short and do not end up in a serious long-term relationship. However, this is not always the case. These types of relationship play a major role in adolescence lives. (Eder, 1993; Thompson 1994). Our lives are influenced by our friendships, schools and parents, however relationships play major role and leave us with positive or negative emotions. (Wilson-Shockey, 1995). Thus, relationship play major role in shaping us during the adolescence stage in our lives.

Teen dating should be discouraged because of the amount of peer pressure and the higher risks associated with it. To begin with in the atical “Teen Dating: Doomed to Fail,” the author claims that teen boys often

Binge drinking is encouraged now teens are at risk of making unhealthier decisions. Mischievous behaviors begin with cutting class, shoplifting, and lying to parents. "Stated simply, adolescent decision making is a complex and multiply determined phenomenon" (Dustin Albert & Laurence Steinberg, Temple University, Judgment and Decision Making In Adolescence, 21(1) 211).

In the article “When Are Child Ready to Date?” Virginia Sole-Smith explains that before a teenager begins dating that the parent should talk to them and make sure that their child is mentally competent to understand what a healthy relationship is. She also states that is common and normal for teenagers to date so a parent should not worry as much and make sure that they have the emotional maturity to begin romantic relationships. Individuals who side with this would include that the more romantic relationships a adolescent has the more social acceptance, friendship and romantic competence they will have which will help them out in the future. The supporters of this view will be supportive parents, parent of a young age, adolescents who have already begun dating or enjoyed the thought of dating and people who think it’s a common social epitome to socialize romantically with others as a

Dating has many helpful benefits for teens, even if they effortlessly get carried away with starry-eyed manners. Correct teen relationships lead to experience in adolescents and a better understanding of grown-up relationships. There's always a lesson to be learned in life. Relationships can provide that lesson when they come to an end because you can better yourself as a partner, as well as learn what your needs are. Also, relationships help people develop better coping skills. They'll find healthier ways to express their emotions and not allow their feelings to get the best of

Often the relationship is not equal and only one person’s needs are met, often at the expense of the other.

Teens in todays society are often at risk of abusing substances, getting into trouble, and causing violent scenes. They also are still trying to discover who they are, what interests them, who to hang around with, and just discover themselves. But an issue people debate about is the actions that teens choose to do. Many teens often hangout in groups at a variety of locations such as houses, parks, the mall, and other places such as a recreational center. Although teens may not see harm in being out and about with friends, adults may think otherwise. Some parents may be worried where there kids are or what they're doing, other parents may just say, "Let them be kids", and others

"Statistics prove that 30% of teenagers have shoplifted at least once due to peer pressure. Over half of teenagers will experiment with alcohol. About 40% of teenagers have tried drugs," states Jeanie Lerche Davis author of Teenagers: Why Do They Rebel. The fact there is a new found freedom gives these adolescents opportunities to get pushed into doing the wrong thing. It begins with one person who is more rebellious than others to create the domino effect. When a child is a toddler, they are impressionable, they follow the lead of the adults in their lives. If they hear their parents say a curse word they will repeat it. Teenagers are impressionable in a very similar way and they’re stuck in the middle of learning who they are and who they want to be. If one friend shoplifts, they can easily get pressured into it, the same goes for alcohol and drugs. These things become cool, and when you're a teenager that's all that matters. In reality though doing these “cool” things are actually incredibly harmful, leading these teenagers down a wrong path.
