So it should be expected that it’s going to take time for some of the girls to warm up to me and actually trust me enough to be free and open around me as much as I see that they are with Stanley and their peers.

Adolescence is popularly known to be a very tumultuous stage in a person’s life.

Robert Bly addresses that the community is slowly becoming a “World of Half Adults”. He illustrates to his readers that adolescents are not growing up into adults, they are stuck in the middle. Bly describes that America is drifting away from the “paternalistic” society, (where you get your structure, learn respect, and to grow from the example of his or her elders). Instead America is leaning towards a “sibling” society that provokes disrespect for elders, only wanting to “half ass” everything they do, and only reaching half of their full potential because of the lack of role models (page 57).

However, superior court rule against this and I believe force the teen to get treatment. The court states the teen was not competent of making this decision based on her lack maturity. I actually am tore on this story to because I agree with one’s decision making but if I had cancer I would fight till the very end. Nevertheless, everyone has their own views and opinions on this.

Understanding adolescent development is extremely important when you are dealing with adolescents because their brains and bodies are ever-changing. If you understand adolescences, you will know that adolescents develop at different rates in all developmental areas of their lives. Understanding that adolescents develop at a different speed in all aspects of their lives will allow you to be able to understand better why they make the choices they do (Understanding Adolescents and Addiction, Unit 1, MRU, 2017).

With this in mind, it is not far-fetched to notice that like all prominent issues, some of its facets are subject to discussion and contention. For example, how many activities are better for teenagers to focus on has been a subject of controversy. One popular opinion in this regard is that taking part in various activities is more important for young generations rather than concentrating on one particular task. I personally concur with it. In what follows, the rationale behind this will be elaborated by focusing on two axiomatic
