What effects teenagers life?

Question

I need to know this for a piece of GCSE coursework

Answer 1

You could start off with life circumstances, being brought up in a nuclear family (Mum+Dad+Children) as opposed to an extended family (Step dad/mum/brothers/sisters or single parent family as primary education (Your upbringing) will affect you as a person and come teenage years will have an impact on your values and ideas.

You should mention the environment as well, from a quiet, happy, well ordered peaceful environment, to other environment such as council estates/high built flats etc. Those also have an impact!

Peer groups as well. OK your parents try to teach you right and wrong but you spend most of your time with your mates (As a teenager) So that you are influenced by their ideas as well and that can create conflicts. For instance what mum and dad tell you is right as opposite to wrong can well be the opposite according to your mates. So who do you believe? Your parents and may find your mates look down on you as not grown up enough to know for yourself or your mates in which case your parents can think you out of control!

Health is another important one! Someone born with a genetic condition or else will struggle more during his/her teenage years than others. it could be that said condition means they cannot particiapte with others at all levels, hence frustration and anger (Why can't i be like them)

Money is another important factor! Teenagers all love their designer gears, some cannot have them because their parents simply cannot afford them and this can lead to resentment, maybe also a feeling of inadequacy as what to wear/not wear seems to be so very important to teenagers.

Education (School is also important) because depending how enjoyable the experience is, some teenagers rebel against the system (If they don't feel happy at aschool) maybe because they don't think their teachers treat them very fairly, why it is the case or they only believe it to be!

Then religion/lack of plays a part as well! If parents are religious they will tend to want thir children to be the same, and sometimes teenagers will see a conflict between their parents ideas (According to their religion) as opposed to how they feel (Teenagers)

Then and naturally ... teenage years mean the body develops, reactions mean fluctuating mood as well as bodily changes and that too has an impact on them!

Good luck with your coursework!

Answer 2

A. Parental involvement. Number 1. If the parents are not connected to a teenager their lives can take a very wrong turn.

People can say drugs, and peer pressure and all this, but think about how important parental involvement is with teenagers. Parents need to close the gap between their teens lives and their own lives and become more involved. Then the other things that seem to be such an issue, become much LESS of an issue when the parents are involved in their lives.

Answer 3

The word "No" has an amazing effect on the behaviour of a typical teenager. A preteen when faced with "no" tends to modify their behaviour to conform to what is expected. A mature adult rarely encounters "no" as they have internalised behaviour patterns that avoid unnecessary conflict. A teenager who hears "NO" has a full blown brain fart that results in an explosion of emotion that can only be compared to the upwelling of a ryholitic magma at a subduction zone. (Volatile)

Answer 4

1) Emotional Instability
2) Still growing physically and mentally while in dire need for mature character for self-realization, self-confidence, and self-assertion along with high self-esteem that does not match with their immaturity.
3) Gap between theirs and their parents' / teachers' social standards and perception of life-styles.
4) Love & romance are overwhelmingly in control of their thoughts, behavior and dreams.
5) Appearance - dresses, hair styles, modes .. waste the valuable time they require at this stage for growing mentally and emotionally, in addition to building up their social and economical image.
6) Freedom is a must - they have to catch up with the rapid advancements of our life, especially in technology
7) Entertainment is a style of life for them
8) Peer ties are the strongest
9) Arrogance is soaring high - disobedience is a norm
10) Feeling of guilt is at its peak

The above are the most common and obvious factors. Hidden factors are diverse, irregular and short-lived, depending on the teenager's circumstances and inherent character.

Answer 6

Affects, not effects and you need an apostrophe after 'teenager' to make it possessive. Try to think about things that have made a major impact on your own life and write about them. It's usually best to write from experience, rather than from someone else's view point.
