Adolescence

Adolescence are the teenagers in our society who cannot be considered adults yet, but are also to old to be considered kids. There is no real name, place or rules for these teenagers, which is why we refer to them as adolescence. Status power consumes the lives of these adolescence all the time because they are always worried about what others are going to think of them and what they can do to be cooler. Whether it is being pressured to drink on the weekends or not hang out with mom, status power always makes these teenagers do things they dont want to do. Its not uncool not to drink or to hang out with your mom for a change, just some teenagers dont understand that and let their unconscious mind take over. This is a huge problem in our society because teenager care way to much about the way that they look and act that their obsessive behavior might carry over when they become adults. Who knows, maybe this stage of adolescence is not only during their teen years. If their crazy about status and power then this behavior is not going to change when they become adults.
Status power is confusing when it comes to deciding whether or not these kids are old enough for some behaviors. I think that since parents have a lot more control over these teens, they tend to break the rules more because they think they they are more mature then what their parents think. A good example is staying out past curfew. I know that I can stay out later then some of my friends because my mom trusts me, but some of my friends break the rules so that they dont miss out on anything. Feeling like and adult, but not getting treated like an adult is a very confusing factor in an adolescent mind. Adolescents have a very confusing and sometimes challenging life style. They need to be trusted, but they are still teenagers, so their has to be a line, but drawing that line can sometimes be difficult.
