Being A Teenager Essay

Being a teenager takes the correlation of physical, emotional, and mental strength all to persevere and breakthrough and make it as a teenager. All the pressure from your parents, all the judgement and criticism and being in the shadow of an older sibling or an older family member. It 's the worst feeling ever teachers and professors are looking down upon you because you 're not having the same success as your sibling or family member had when they taught them, same goes for parents. However, parents they drive you to the edge of the world they expect you to surpass and exceed whatever an older sibling would do for instance, my sister Sana. On top of that, you 're just a 13 year old youngster who is still just getting the hang of it, and…

Being a teenager is much more difficult than most think. I always wanted to have fun and do what everyone else was doing. Being raised by strict parents did not really let me hang out with my friends and have fun as much as I wanted. I did not always get to do what everyone else did. Eventually when I got to high school, all of my friends were going out to party at an older boy’s house. Knowing my parents would say no, I lied about where I was going. I told them I was going to stay at my…

Welcome back to part three of this instalment about my experience with being bullied as a teenager and how it carved a pathway to empowerment. It is an early Friday morning and I am boiling some water so I can prep myself to sip on Lemon and Garlic tea as we begin this blog post. In the last two posts I wrote about what it felt like to feel hopeless and then delved into the process of how I discovered critical lessons that helped shape my destiny. In this written piece I would like to invite you…

Nearly 20 percent of all international immigrants reside in the United Sate today. People can see how religious and cultural differences divide each individual in a multicultural society like America. America is a cultural melting pot that exposes a person to many cultures other than their own that they would not otherwise. Knowledge alone is not enough to shape our multicultural society like America. Therefore, I believe that learning about other cultures and religious are the best way to…

When I was younger, people always told me everything would change in high school. I was told that people would come and go and that I would eventually find out who my true friends are. They would say, “The fake ones will leave when situations get tough.” As a child, I was oblivious to the things were telling me. I was convinced that my life would always be just as painless as it was at the time and I would finish high school before I moved again. “Just wait and you’ll see,” they cautioned, “You…

1 The words ontology and epistemology seem like confusing and broad terms, however, an individual makes ontological assumptions and takes epistemological stances throughout their entire life, usually without realizing such. Ontology is "the study of being. It is concerned with 'what is ', with the nature of existence, with the structure of reality as such" (Crotty 1998). Our assumptions about the nature of being, create our epistemology which is defined as "the theory of knowledge embedded in…

monistic view of ethics, talking about God and Nature. His main argument is that a personified infinite being is not the transcendent creator of the universe, but it is Nature that determines and governs the system of our existence, hence, nature necessarily means God.

Hence, everything else that exists…

Defining the Being that does the defining, the awareness that is aware, the formless thing that gives form, seems to be an almost impossible task to do through language. Some philosophers arduously endeavor to explain these concepts in convoluted and seemingly clever ways. Making up new names for old terms in an effort to build a new foundation through which the ineffable could be understood. The essay ‘What Heidegger Means by Being-in-the-World’ by Roy Hornsby is a good example of this arduous…

‘The Cather in the Rye’ which was written in a post-World War I time and it is still relevant today. Teenagers today still face the same problems Holden faced in the 1950’s. In a time when he was expelled from school, abused substances, delved into promiscuity, questioned religion, dealt with loss and pondered about people from his past and present life, Holden would be able to time travel to the 21st century and still feel at home, as these are issues most teenagers today still struggle with.…
