Many times, when we speak about adolescence, we call it "the dangerous age". But, in the same time it is referred to as "the golden age". These two syntagms are only apparently in contradiction with one another.
Is adolescence a period of crisis or is it only a more difficult stage of our lives, which can be passed trough very easily if we are well-prepared.
Among the "dangers" of this stage we can mention the difficulties connected not only to a physiological level, but also to a more delicate one, the feelings.
Is adolescence a biological, physiological or sociological fact? One thing is for sure: this "age" is a very complex phenomenon, which contains all these three aspects, which should be studied one by one.
Is there any "adolescence crisis" or not? If there is one, then it is very close connected to the social environment.
In this period there are many conflicts, either between generations (so-called "generation gap") or between the different age groups.
But is it true that these conflicts are more numerous and more powerful than in the other periods of our lives?
And if it is, are these conflicts necessary? Is adolescence always the same?
The answers are different because there are different points of view. But, irrespective of the answer, there is something that limbs all these points of view: the teenagers of our days greatly defer how teenagers of the last centuries.
Is there something characteristic to all the people passing through this stage, or does every person have their own personality?
There is no doubt that, up to a certain age, no one and nothing could replace the elementary rubs of education received from the parents, in early childhood. This is the period of time when our personality stands to be "built". The effects of this "process of building" can be seen in time and maybe adolescence is a more stable period when its results can be "measured".
Personality is unique, and it makes us different than the others and helps us pass the obstacles of our lives. Some youngsters think that the ones who have a great personality can more easily overcome the problems of adolescence.
A survey showed that 80% of the people that were interviewed agree that teenagers do have something in common but they also have characteristics that make each of them unique. All the teenagers of our days have quite the same problems and preoccupations, but they react differently. Some of them don't understand the changes from their life, they are afraid to talk about them and that's why this period is very difficult for them.
On the contrary, these are some who express their feelings, their problems, try to find out more about these things and so, this period has nothing special for them.
But this age can raise problems not only for children, but also for some parents. The point is that, with a little understanding, things go right.
Adolescence cannot be regarded as dough if you know how to overcome its obstacles.
This age represents the most beautiful years of our lives and it would be a pity not to live them properly because of some problems that the adults don't understand us.
Adolescence is nothing but a normal and beautiful stage of our live that we should not be afraid of.
With its ups and downs, is still "the golden age" that each of us would like to return.
