Teens are wild, mad, insane, and occasionally deranged. We’ve all seen it, and if it wasn’t obvious enough then read “The Terrible Teens” by Elizabeth Kolbert. In her essay, she uses various rhetorical devices such as, metaphors, and climatic word order to keep her writing intriguing.

As the decades change so do the teens. Teenagers from the 1960’s won’t exactly have the same ways of thinking or ways of speaking.

Advance technology changes the way we interact with others compared to the 1960’s. The health concerns may or may not be the same as the health concerns in the year 2014. With teens changing constantly, how will the next generation of teens be like?

It all started in 2016. It was a summer day in June at a camp called Youth America. That Summer day started terribly. It was a burning day at Youth America and an exhausting day as well.

We walked carrying these items to where the coaches were going to set this up. The coaches and the volunteers put this slide together on the grass hill. They used this ramp from the storage room.

High school. The dreaded time and place that every young American has to suffer through. The institution where conformity is expected but individuality is preached from every impassioned liberal arts teacher. It is in high school that American teenagers are expected to make choices that will determine the outcome of their entire lives. They are expected to make good grades, fill their schedules with extracurriculars and still find time for family, a social life and a job. In the essay “Let Teenagers Try Adulthood”, Leon Botstein convicts the American education system of caging the independent nature of teenagers by placing them in hormonal crazed, clique obsessed institutions that are deemed to be places of educational standard past the point

When it comes to education, many people think that the system right now is a good one, mixing the students into one coagulated mess and subjecting them to the same teaching methods. They subject the students to endless testing, using the scores as measurements of their intelligence. They also cut us off from the world and teach us in a classroom environment, spawning cliques and social segregation. In reality, not only does this hurt the students, it hurts the teachers, and anyone else who has to experience this. That does not mean, however, that changes cannot be made or these problems can be solved.

Psychologically, the general belief is that people do feel they need to “belong” or fit in with their peers. Especially in teens, in both middle school and high school, most will change the way they dress or act similar to others and succumb to peer pressures to fulfill the need to belong. As well adults may find themselves participating in activities that normally would be against one's morals or beliefs or even living beyond their means in an effort to achieve the feeling of belonging.

Many children become concerned about how they look as they approach their teenage years. Once they're actually teenagers, they may be even more conscious of their appearance and want their hair, clothes, and shoes to be just right. Although teenagers with visual impairments may not be able to see how others look, they’ll be aware of others’ focus on appearances, and they’ll know schoolmates will be checking them out as well. It's an unusual teenager who doesn't want to fit in with the local teen culture. With your help, your teenager can learn the skills needed to be well groomed and in style independently.
