Adolescence: Change Over Generations

Being an adolescent now and being an adolescent 1-3 generations ago is very different. Many parents and grandparents were interviewed and a lot of them said that the behavior of children has gotten worse over the years. This might have been cause by more people getting what they want so that they're more stubborn. People are more educated about adolescence today so that they understand more about themselves. A lot of the people interviewed said that they wish that they were more educated about their situation because they were sometimes depressed. There are very few similarities between adolescents today and a long time ago but one of them is friends. People always have friends and they are usually pretty similar over the years, there are good ones and bad ones. I think it is easier to be an adolescent today because we are more educated and we understand more about ourselves.

There are many things that I like about being in a big group and there are no things that I did not like about it. I enjoy being in a large group because you can do many different types of activities with each other. You can play soccer, cards, tag and just talk to each other. I am also outgoing so it is easy for me to talk to other people. I enjoyed doing group work because it is easier since you have many brains thinking at a time. Also you can get new ideas from other people so it benefited my learning as well. It did not matter that there wasn't a lot of privacy because I could stand not having any for a few days. I greatly enjoyed being in a large group because it was fun and benefited my learning.

Katie's mother and father are very different characters. Katie's mother is very shy and fragile while her father is strong and more outgoing. I think that Katie is closest to her father because her father does more things with her. Her mother is the one who makes many rules and she seems more solitary. Her dad plays with Katie and Lynn more than her mother. Katie also has fun with punching her father in the stomach while she cant do that to her mother.

My Quote Response

I think that the quote means that if you want to achieve anything, then you have to have goals. I like this quote because it shows how you need goals in life to achieve anything and it describes me because I have goals in life that help me achieve things.
