ADOLESCENCE

ADOLESCENCE: the transitional period between puberty and adulthood in human development, extending mainly over the teen years and terminating legally when the age of majority is reached; youth; Our society and the rest of the world treats people this age is by giving the adolescence slowly more and more responsibility like allowing them to drive, vote, and be able to get arrested and tried like an adult. Because of this, teenagers are doubtful of what they are suppose to be responsible for and what they aren't supposed to be responsible for. Because things slowly get harder as they get older it is a slow and hard transition. Status power is what adolescence spend a lot of their time worrying about. They worry about fitting in and doing the "cool" and what everyone else is doing. Like today teens want to go out and buy the top notch brands and the most up to date items that the big named brands sell. Another thing people do is actions that they think come off as being "normal". People try to be like everyone around them and sometimes act like someone their not. The impact this has on development is that people will go through all their life trying to fit in. If people were to go through life just worrying about themselves and focus on whats important to them then life might be able to avoid extra stress and worries in our lives.
