Are teenage yrs, the most "emotionally" yrs of life?

Question

is it?.......and at what yr does it ends?(approximatelly)

Answer 1

It was for me. I beleive it is because at this we are still shaping ourselves into who we want to be as adults. We are not yet adults ( we still haven't had enough experience in the world to understand how to deal with certain people and situations), yet at this age we are wanting nothing more than to grow up, so at this age we are kind of stuck in the middle between childhood and adulthood.We are learning to break free and become our own individual person, and we are experimenting with things like our personality, friends, the music we listen to, and relationships to try to form who we are going to be as an adult. And because we have not yet had the full experiences of adulthood yet, and are still experimenting with life, this makes teenagers very susceptible to all kinds of influences. And this is why I beleive teenage years ARE the hardest for alot of people. You are trying to figure out ultimately who you are. You are becoming the person you will be as an adult, and it's a hard transition. I beleive it stops when you finally realize who you truly are, and accept it, and are happy with who you have grown up to be. The emotional turmoil ends when you stop worrying about trying to fit in and stop letting outside influences shape you any longer. This is when you discover who you are as an adult and are then free to make choices based on who you are and what makes you happy. Of course the learning process NEVER ends, we are constantly learning new things about people and how to deal with situations on a never ending basis even as adults. We are constantly evolving, never devolving.But once you discover who you truly are and what makes you truly happy, I beleive is when you break free from teenage confusion into adulthood. Theres really no exact time when this happens, everybody is different. For me it happened when I was 21 and got married. I started to discover things about myself and things I enjoyed that I never knew existed. And now I'm truly comfortable with who I am. Of course I'm constantly changing as well.I just accept these changes as they come and deal with them as they come. Just let the natural processes of growing up take their course. Don't worry, that emotional torment DOES end. We've all been through it. Life is good, and always challenging, and I beleive this is what makes life so interesting.

Answer 2

Yes. Adolescence is the most emotional period of life.
The Upanishads speak of five components of mind:

(1)The Hindu texts say that soul is eternal and the
created body is subject to cycles of time. The very
word 'creation' implies the presence of its opposite
'annihilation'. Hence a body cannot live forever. The
Sanskrit word Kala means time, it also means the
universal force which causes death.

(2) The Hindu texts have described several periods of
life time. Baalyam means childhood period upto 10 years
of age. The period between 10 years and 25 years is
called Koumaaram which roughly corresponds with
adolescence. Within this period, Kurra means the age of
16. This is called the age of eternity. Russian
scientists have found that if the control systems in
the body are maintained at the same level of efficiency
as they are at the age of 16 years, using some
machinery or electronic control system, a person can
live for 10000 years. The Puranas say that people in
Krita Yuga (the golden age according to esoteric texts)
lived for 10000 years. However contrary it may be, this
very age of eternity is also the age of commencement of
the period of gradual death. Some Hindu texts say that
there is divinity in children. The possible
interpretation of this line could be that this process
of gradual death does not touch children until they
reach the age of 16 years. (Most children who die
before the age of 16 are due to external factors,
malnutrition etc). This is verified by the fact that
the percentage of persons who die at the age of 16 are
the lowest compared to any other age. This fact
observed by ancestors went into fairy tales which say
that a princess will die on her 16th birthday. Modern
medicine has found that 'brain sand' starts forming in
the pineal gland after the age of 16. The pineal gland
is the third eye, and it is the seat of Mukya Prana
(chief life) according to ancient Yoga and Tantra
texts. Modern madicine found that a person can lead an
almost normal life evern if 30 to 40 percent of brain
matter is removed. But no person survives if the pineal
gland is removed.

(3) The pulse rate in a new born baby is about 140
beats per minute. This pulse rate gradually reduces
during the Koumaaram period and settles down to it's
stable value of 76 beats per minute after the age of 24
years. Different sects in the world have different
criteria to daclare a person to become a youth. The
Indian tradition says that a person becomes a youth on
his 25th birth day, taking the stable heat beat value
into consideration.

"Our two minds .... One is an act of the emotional
mind, the other of the rational mind. In a very real
sense we have two minds, one that thinks and one that
feels" (Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence,
Bloomsbury Publishing, London, 1996, page 8).

The Upanishads call the emotional component of mind as
Chitta and the rational component of mind as Manas.
Until the age of 25, the Chitta (emotional) component of mind
will be working dominantly. Between the ages 25 to 40,
Manas (rational component) of mind will be working
dominantly.

In English, 'flourit' means the age of dawning of
wisdom; it also means the age of 40. (See a
multi-volume dictionary in a library). Generally,
Buddhi (intellect) starts funtcioning after the age of
40 years. You can not blame a teenager or a youth for
not having it. We rarely call youngsters as intellectuals.

Answer 3

Yes I believe that they are. I believe that this is because we are so dramatic during that time of our life and there is so much drama around us as teens. Life really does not change much as we get older; we just view things differently. With a little experience under our belts we are able to distinguish between the mountains and the mole-hills. around twenty years old or so those things we mulled over as teens won't even be remembered.

Answer 4

yeah dude, im still in them, im 17....still hasn't ended, it sucks. My gf broke up with me for no reason, Lots of backstabbing,etc. Im applying to University, to Ivy leagues, If I get in I know my life will be better, Becuase I'll get away from the people and things that hurt me. The thing is dude, You have to look at things from a diffrent perspective, you dont have to follow the expectations of todays teenage society. You don't have to impress anyone, only yourself. In the teenage years your judged on the less meaningful things in life, the clothes you wear, the people you surround yourself with, the car you drive, the girls you've F*cked, etc.


Apprecaite the simple things in life. I don't even go out anymore, I Just stay home and study, im straight A student. I have my goals and lots of my "friends" don't. Im going farther than them in life. At this age it dosen't matter what you are in life, it matters what direction you are headed. Stay focused, F*ck the social scence at this age and point of time, lots of time for socializing later on in life. -wallah

Answer 5

yes the most emotionally part of a persons life are the teenage years. Baceuse it is a time of puberty or adolesence it has a big change on their emotions and their physicahl aspects.

Answer 6

They are mainly the most stressful and confusing.

Gets better towards the end when you get to drive, drink in bars (but not drive afterwards, obviously) and spread your wings a bit.

Noticing woman as an area of interest is pretty good too.

Answer 7

it depends what actually happen in your life. In 3rd world countries, all of their lives are emotional so there isn't really any difference in teenage years.. But in more richer places in the world, they are the most 'emotional' years because your body is constantly changing; and your hormones go mad. e.g one minute you'll be happy, the next mad, the next hyper, then tearful. It ends for different people, there isn't any 'particular' age, it depends on the genes

Answer 8

I envy simple answers in this thread... :)

You can say Yes in most cases, although it doesn't always bring pain and disappointment, joy and happiness are emotions too, and lovely ones...

Emotionality may not pass with age, or only reduce at 70 or so :) The question is, what is 'emotional' in your case?

Answer 9

Yes, and it usually ends by the time a person reaches 18-19 years old.

Answer 10

yes. For a man its 40
