The drama of who loves who and the long nights staying up dreaming about what you would say to your crush if you ever had the opportunity.

Love means something different to everyone, and somehow it seems that everybody has a preconceived notion that teenagers cannot and do not want to

However, being mature isn’t really about being a particular age, but rather going through experiences and learning from them. For instance, in the book “The Glass Castle”, the author Jeannette Walls was forced to take cake of her brother and sister’s because of her unstable mother and father. Weeks passed before her siblings had food, water, or even a home.…

    One of the most prevalent desires in a person's life is to find what he or she is meant to fulfill in his or her lifetime. Especially for adolescents, finding where one stands in a world full of chaos is a daunting struggle and a strenuous journey. In The Cather in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger, Holden is a troubled boy who is struggling to find himself and his place in the world. His journey to achieving this goal makes The Cather in the Rye an overall optimistic book because teenagers can relate to Holden's perplexed psychological state of being stuck in a place between childhood and adulthood, it inspires the reader to strive for more in his or her lifetime, and it ends on a happy note. When surrounded by an environment that is constantly changing and growing for better or for worse, it isn't difficult for adolescents to get lost and caught up in the confusing transition between the two worlds of adulthood and childhood.…

    Teenagers wait for the special day of transitioning over that imaginary age line that provides them with special, new privileges of becoming a young adult. Along with those special privileges comes great responsibilities as well as painstaking requirements. In America, eighteen-year-olds are capable of voting, pay taxes, operate a motorized vehicle, become a legal guardian, marry, fight and die for a country, own a gun, and even become governor of Rhode Island. What is it that a teenager always wants to do seems to be one of the most widely known answers in the U.S. People under the age of twenty-one are constantly told every day that they are not allowed to drink until it is legal. Well that obviously never seemed to stop any of us, hence…

Many people believe that teenager’s brain only grow bigger in this period, however, the teenager’s brain is neither an “older” little kid’s brain, nor a half mature adult brain (Giedd, 2008).

When people talk about teenagers, they always connect them with words like adventure, trouble-maker, aggressiveness, self-centeredness, or radicalness, etc.…

    In Romeo and Juliet, we see two ill-fated lovers from two feuding families fall in love for one another but soon die in the end as a consequence of their love. Teen crushes have a major impact during adolescence, as when Shakespeare explains the story. The lovers’ parents didn’t take the relationship seriously, thinking that it was just a phase, unaware that they were very much in love. Parents shouldn’t laugh off their children’s crushes, because teens can end up harming themselves and/or others around them. Romantic crushes deal with a person feeling a strong attraction towards another person, whom they love to hang around, and enjoy spending time with.…

    The minimum driving age should not be raised from 16 to 18. In my opinion, teens already have a problem getting where they need to go considering their transportation is usually their parents. By the time they come home from work they are too exhausted to drive anywhere else.

Just because teens are prone to do reckless, irresponsible things does not necessarily mean they will get into accidents because they are younger.…
