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.

I agree that being a adolescent now is different from then. I also believe kids are more stubborn today
ReplyDeleteI also agree that adolescence is quite different from back then because we have more technology and education. Good Job.
ReplyDeleteJussi, remember that knowledge is power...maybe you adolescents jsut know too much now! Your mom had an upbringing light years different than yours. It was interesting to see the contrasts. Were you surprised at some of the information you found? Good interview and thoughtful post.
