Showing titles in Teenagers

In today's über popular social media age, it's socially accepted to gauge self-esteem by a follower count and how many likes one has.

The world has entered an era of the most profound and challenging change in human history. Most of our children are not prepared, and we know it.Parents around the world see the change and know that the traditional three R's - reading, writing, and arithmetic - are necessary, but not enough. Their children need to become far more responsible, creative, and tolerant of differences. They need to increase their ability to think for themselves, take initiative, get along with others, and solve problems.

Die einst so geliebten, gemeinsamen Familienaktivitäten sind nun öde und spießig.

So kommen Familien gut durch die Pubertät - Wenn Kinder in die Pubertät kommen und sich immer deutlicher abgrenzen, gibt es in Familien oft Diskussionen, Rückzug, Wut und Streit.

Experts and the general public are convinced that young people today are trapped in an extended adolescence - coddled, unaccountable, and more reluctant to take on adult responsibilities than previous generations. Nancy Hill and Alexis Redding argue that what is perceived as stalled development is in fact typical.

Your personal identity describes who you are, who you aspire to be, or who people perceive you to be. The majority of us have been told in our lives at one time or another that we can be whoever or whatever we want to be, but what happens when someone else makes that decision for you without your honest consent?
