The Teenage Liberation Handbook By Grace Llewellyn

The causes of the Rebellions of 1837 in Upper and Lower Canada have similarities and differences. For example, both Upper and Lower Canada had problems with their government, not having a representative or responsible one. They also both had a group, the Family Compact in Upper Canada and the Chateau Clique in Lower Canada, that had a lot of money and power. Another similarity is that they both had a document trying for change that got shut down by the government, Gourlay’s petition in Upper Canada, and the 92 Resolutions in Lower Canada. The proposed union of 1822 also contributed to the Rebellions of 1837 in both Upper and Lower Canada, as both they disapproved of union of the two colonies. The proposed union of 1822 could also be considered a difference in the causes of the rebellions, since the union would make the French in Lower Canada, a

If society was asked what defines “coming of age,” what would it say? Some would say people come of age when they act more mature, think grown up thoughts, or do certain actions. This quote by someone unknown helps form an explanation of what coming of age is: “Maturity doesn’t mean age; it means sensitivity, manners, and how you react.” In the literature piece “The First Part Last,” the author Angela Johnson writes about two teenagers, Bobby and Nia, who struggle with the difficulties of teen pregnancy. Throughout the book, they both face many hardships that put their relationship, patience, and responsibility to the test. With the help of a red balloon, a basketball, and family pictures in a doctor’s office, Bobby comes of age after paying attention to these symbols and signs throughout the novel.

I’m going to be proving in this essay if Bobby, the main character in the novel, the First Part Last by Angela Johnson, actually “came of age” and also explore the symbols related. The “coming of age” theme doesn’t have to be what you interpret from reading the story. I will be going to go into depth into this particular theme. Bobby is 18 years old and lives with his separated parents, Mary and Fred. Nia is Bobby’s girlfriend, who is about the same age as her boyfriend. Most of the influential characters are African American according to what is implied and stated in the story. Other more minor but still important characters I’ll be also discussing are Nia’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. wilkins, paul, one of Bobby’s siblings,and Bobby’s best friends K-boy and J.L.

Kozlowska explains that the concept of unschooling is a natural way of learning that all children experience before they start traditional school. She uses logos in the following quote: “‘...There is no reason to believe that this ability to make mental connections, to ask questions, would disappear by the age of 5 and 6.’” to try to convince the audience that unschooling better prepares children for the real world. Kozlowska gives an example of a family that was able to successfully utilize the method of unschooling to allow their two children to learn at their own pace and explore their own interests instead of being forced to learn about topics they believe will never be present in their adult

Christy Miller, native of Wisconsin and 14 years old, moves to California with her Aunt Marti and Uncle Bob. Christy lived on a farm, so she had no idea of the luxuries someone could have like clothes, relaxing on the beach, makeup, and beauty, but her aunt made sure that she learned the amenities of a teenager. Christy met her “first love,” named Todd, and he was different than all of the other surfers. Todd believed in Christ, and that God was the person who controlled his life.

Peer pressure influences teenagers because they might not want to do the things that their friends do. Many teenagers will be victims of peer pressure because their friends think that they might not be good enough to be in their groups. Another thing is that they think they don’t fit in with their friends. Their friends are going to tell them something and they will actually do it then after that their friends laugh at them or make fun of them. Laurie Halse Anderson the author of “Speak” is saying that peer pressure is dangerous and can be more harmful when their is more than one person doing the pressuring.

At an early age many children are oblivious to issues in society like race relations, and they are easily influenced by their parents. The book Coming of Age by Anne Moody, takes place during the civil rights era in the United States. All of the white children stop playing with Anne after an incident in at the movie theater. These kids were influenced by their parents who didn’t want them interacting with African Americans. Anne Moody’s learns about the significance of race in American social life as well as the differences between the lives of blacks and whites through her experiences at home, school and work. These experiences help prepare Anne to join the civil rights movement. At home, Anne experienced firsthand the poverty many African Americans faced, she experienced discrimination and intimidation in the work employer Mrs. Burke and at the diner by white customers, and she also dealt with segregated schooling.

When students think of educational schooling, they think of grueling hours of sitting in a classroom and getting lectured about things they do not believe they will ever apply to the real life. Maybe it is just me. Not many students in the more richer and developed countries will ever realize how privileged they are. It is so easy to say that they do not like or want something even when it is presented to them. However, there are still places that are not given the opportunity to improve their lifestyles because they do not have an access to schooling. Access to education is a very important factor to bridge the gap between developed and underdeveloped countries. It is also the reason that humans have gotten this far in history. Without teaching

Unschooling is different from traditional grade-level structural education in every aspect of its design, rather than placing a child in a classroom of four walls and teaching what the government has constructed it allows the child to determine their syllabus. The controversy about unschooling is the freedom that the students receive. The teachers sole purpose is to provide an environment to nurture the students interest, in the students own way while providing what’s needed to follow those interest (Morrison, 2016). This system of homeschooling allows an extraordinary amount of play for students under the philosophy that through play will arouse learning within the student and most importantly the student will entertain learning while progressing on their own terms. The end goal that parents seek is to embrace and nurture their child’s desire to become life-long learners that seek

What is a teen activist? A teen activist is a teenager who wants to help people or animals for a cause. What I think about all teen activists is that they all fight for what they believe in. They go to extensive lengths to help people to help us. They don't do this because they have to they do it because they want to do it. They don't care that the odds were against them or they have very little chance of succeeding. They do what they want and the do it right.They are like the voice of the people fighting up against poverty and all the other struggles in the world. Most activists go through a lot like Malala but I won't get to deep into that yet. They all have the courage to do what they do.

“The Right to Control One’s Learning”, by John Holt, is an article that focuses on how people should have the right to control and direct their own method of learning. Holt goes in depth by claiming that the school systems are corrupting the students and their right of controlling their own learning is in jeopardy. The article has pro-learning and anti-schooling as the overall tone. Speaking about this, I do believe that general schooling is necessary, students can still achieve similar results without being forced in an unjust and strict environment. Holt provides various points which includes students’ freedom of choice, school being too oppressive, and unnecessary teachings at school.
