Discussion on adolescence

Discussion on adolescence

The transition from childhood to adulthood reflects adolescence (Tanner & Arnett, 2016). It is a time of physical, social, and emotional changes. Young people have a rather self-centered idealism. We say we are absolutely grown men, so they take no guidance from adults. Young people prefer to expect the best result in all circumstances. On the contrary, it is not always possible to obtain better outcomes.

Moreover, teenagers are really critical. You still want someone or someone to be criticized, but you don’t want to be criticized. They are often irritated and upset if criticism, particularly by adults, is addressed to them (Tanner, & Arnett, 2016).

Personal fables illustrate how young people feel that what happens to them is special, even though nobody else is in a position to experience the same (Tanner, & Arnett, 2016). This assumption explains why the acts of young people may have profound consequences for their lives.

Another teenage distortion is the imagination of the viewer. Teenagers prefer to assume that people concentrate and are in the process. This trend is an example of youthful ego-centeredness and the desire to be known (Tanner, & Arnett, 2016).

All the above adolescent illusions can have a major effect on the adult age. It can influence your actions and your troubleshooting skills. To me, maturity is never reached in its entirety because it remains immaturities to be inspired to improve and not to make the same mistake two times.
