Current Problems Adolescents - The Teen Of Neverland

Adolescence and the problems inherent in it is a vast and complex. It is a life stage in which both parents and children have to deal with conflicts caused by emotional problems, family and child behavior. Many parents simply tick this stage as "difficult years" that are common in the lives of their children and take the attitude of the ostrich. Bury their heads in the sand until the storm has passed. But what really needs to be? How "normal" is that a young person who is awakening to adulthood experience many conflicts with himself and with their environment? While this article is not intended to provide a solution to the problems of adolescence, it offers an important perspective that will help parents understand their children better during the course of it. For that I want to invite a little trip through history. Adolescence, as we know it today, is a relatively recent concept. You will be surprised that once there was the term "adolescence." A little over two hundred years before the Industrial Revolution began, there were no teenagers, only knew the childhood stage then passed to the young adults.

Children and young people actively involved in a home economics and responsibilities had increased significantly with age.

A young adult or a young adult working shoulder to shoulder with his father or his mother in the family business own tasks, either on a farm, as artisans, bakers, blacksmiths, etc.. From an early age the young person is identified with an occupation of real life in which he worked with adults in their community. And, if they could access higher education, so were at a very early age. Be surprised to hear that Philip Melanchthon, the man who helped Martin Luther translated the Bible from Greek into German, was a mere teenager in today's terms. He went to college at age 12. And there was an exception among his contemporaries. Medical students entering their studies at the age of 14 to 16 years. The average age for entering college was 16 years. We can clearly see that a relatively young person was able to pursue important goals in life at a very early age. And personally I believe that tremendous potential has not been lost. Is there, in our children, but is dormant. Why does not manifest itself in a more visible?

We have drawn an imaginary line that marks the artificial passage from adolescence to adulthood, the mark of 18. It is only at that age when we expect that the overnight, become adults. Its potential to assume responsibility and act like adults before that date does not show, because we have plunged into artificial phase-out. Most young people of our times lack of identity, because they were not allowed to show what they can achieve. There are more challenges in their lives, outside studying a lot of stuff of which little is identified. Many are caught in the trap of indulgence. The fun, without taking responsibility for their lives is a lifestyle that gives them a passing pleasure it brings no satisfaction. Because they know deep inside him, and they can give more. They intuit that were created with talents and abilities that have not been able to develop much less manifest, because everyone treats them like big kids. A child is a product of the treatment they give their parents. If we do everything for them and treat them like children who do not have the capacity to take responsibility and contribute to the welfare of the family, going to play and seek pleasure instead of assuming their rightful role.

Instead, if we treat them with respect, recognizing that God put a person there, equipped with skills and talents and a great purpose for your life, they will flourish and will behave like mature, responsible and cooperative. In fact, we are very thankful, because you knew how to identify and recognize their potential and helping them to develop and give real meaning to their lives.
