Transition To Adulthood Narrative

The transition from young adulthood to middle adulthood involves many bodily and lifestyle changes. A person is considered to be in middle adulthood between 40-60 of age. Taking care of young children or adults (in some cases) plays a crucial role at this stage. Some people even become grandparents in this phase of life. Aging continues with many physical, sensory, reproductive, emotional, and married life changes during the stage of middle adulthood which is also known as 'mid-life crisis'.

What is Adolescence? It is the period of life from puberty to maturity terminating legally at the age majority (Merriam-Webster, 2013). In addition to, it is the transitional period between childhood and adulthood. This is an individual’s most difficult time because they are no longer needed to be taken care of like they were in their early childhood. Huge responsibilities and real life situations have suddenly caught up to them. Their parents are slowly letting them grow up and handle conflicts on their own. Unfortunately, this all leads to adolescents’ most frustrations to grow because of the amount of independence they have. In addition to, the desire and pressure of acceptance by their peers are stronger than ever. For these reasons and numerous others, suicide is the third leading cause of death during the adolescent years (Karaman, D., & Durukan, I., 2013). This leads individuals to question why are adolescents at such a young age trying to attempt suicide and who should be blamed when a child has committed suicide? Fortunately, psychologists have found preventions and signs that can help adults to figure out if their child is at risk of attempting to suicide.

It was during this time that I enrolled into a Cerritos Library program called Homework Time. In this program, I found there was more to it than just completing assignments and reading books. In fact, I discovered something extremely valuable (although I didn't realize it at that time). I recalled the volunteers telling me that they were heading off to a mysterious place called college. I had no idea what this place was, and

She was in her room. Alone on a windy day the smoke she was creating was circulating all over the house. The smoke was transparent and smelled of Cannabis Sativa. She didn’t want to be bothered. All was quiet the only thing she could hear was the sound of her own heartbeat. Then she began to feel weird. She felt something in her stomach. Was it remorse? Maybe it was happiness. Or maybe it was even the feeling of accomplishment. But right after the feeling, her mother comes barreling into the room.

Prepare notes on the following questions and bring them to class on the first day of school:

Many underestimate the power that a singular event possesses and the extent at which it can alter one’s mindset. Often times a shift in the method of thinking and processing information, the act which drives our entire being, signifies a “coming of age”. Reaching a pivotal moment in time where not only do those around you recognize the transformation, but you also fully embrace the alteration. In layman's terms, transitioning out of childhood conjures thoughts and ideas that evolve from the foundation of one’s life. For me, the potent mixture of a short-lived period of blissful innocence and a pressurized home environment led to the culmination of a desire to succeed.

Adolescence is ill-prepared for their adulthood responsibilities. In the “Adulthood later” article, It shows how adolescents aren’t going to be able to handle adult responsibilities because of how as an adult, those who can’t afford to live in a house, they live in a dorm with roommates in order to split the rent. It also talks about the fact the age at which people buy house has gotten higher since not many can afford those high prices and in result causing them to go to school for a longer time in order to have and make more money. It states in the article from ages 35-40 people are taking college courses to earn more money. And also, people are getting married later and getting divorced faster. And married couples

​The transition from childhood to adulthood, for me, took place at an early state. At the young age of nine years old I began to learn what it took to be my own person. As I was growing up, I had taught myself to believe that a hectic household of constant yelling was the norm. My mother had met my stepfather before anyone had brought up the word "divorce". She had a child with this man while still being married to my father. I didn't find out who's child this was until months after he had been born. Who is going to break that news to a nine year old boy? From my experience, I believe I learned so many lessons on growing up. The lessons that have truly stuck with me though are independence, being less judgmental, and motivation.

People could think of me being more extroverted, like my brother when he went through Transition. He used to be a bit antisocial, and now he checks his messenger every 30 seconds. People would still think of me as being sarcastic, as I would still keep my sarcastic character for years to come (not sure whether 5 though). People could think of me being impulsive, even though if I develop that attribute, I would likely try to hide it. From trying to hide everything, I may look

The transition to adulthood always seemed to be some momentous or celebratory event; something which everyone should be able to look forward to. While that's what is brought to mind when the transition is brought up, that isn't always the reality. I became an adult more than ever as a 15-year-old in the second semester of my freshman year.

Becoming an adult for me has meant gaining a better understanding of who I am and what is important to me and discovering the type of person I would like to become. This process has allowed me to celebrate my strengths, accept my weaknesses, and commit myself to making a difference in the world. The challenges I have faced include overcoming my working memory issues and discovering what I am good at and what I most enjoy.

People mark the point of reaching adulthood in many different ways, such as the eighteenth birthday, puberty, or getting their drivers license. I consider the major transition point into adulthood as being when I got my first job. I was hired about a month after my sixteenth birthday. I had been applying for jobs so I would have something to do and a way of making money. I applied to numerous different places and many different kinds of places, including fast food restaurants and clothing stores. The day after I sent in all my applications, I got a call from Sonic Drive-In. I was so excited to have my first job. I have worked there for nearly six months and loved every minute of it.

We hesitated, honestly, realizing the shared feelings held made us different... Yet, we still jumped. Faye was different than others. She insisted on staying “icy”, with the world seen clearly and head spins exhilarating. It seemed like a switch in personalities through milliseconds making our photographic, flowerdness, and stormy lives more interesting than life should’ve ever been.

Adolescence is the transitional period in a persons life time that links childhood and adulthood. The factors that influence development during adolescence include genetic/biological and environmental/social. There are many developmental issues that take place during the transition from an adolescent to a young adult. The issues of emerging adulthood(18-25) are characterized by new experiences, experimentation, exploration as well as new developmental tasks.

Emotional Transitions to Adulthood During the early part of adulthood major emotional transition takes place. At the beginning of the adulthood lifestage you begin to seprate from your parents and family and no longer rely upon your peers to support you in a pratical way- such as doing your washing and also in a emotional way, you begin to find that your parents aren't such a big fixture in your life. During our early adulthood we spend alot of our time finding a partner and once we do we become emotionally attached and begin to rely upon our spouse for support as we once did our parents.
