Adolescence, teenagers

Adolescence 

Adolescence is considered a risk as to age, because then rapidly formed personality, they take an active socialization, the assumption of appropriate roles, etc.. It is very likely that this process can occur in different behavioral defects affecting deviantiškos of personality formation. Therefore worthwhile to discuss the specific laws that adolescents face in the development stage. 

Adolescence the most difficult age-and toughest of all ages. It is also called a transitional period, because at that time is a kind of transformation from childhood to adult life, from immaturity to maturity. This period is a comprehensive adolescent development, including the anatomical and physiological, intellectual development, the adolescent's approach to the various phenomena of the formation and others. 

Adolescence strongly changes the adolescent's life and activities of the concept of his social role. It must assume a new social status, position in the community, the adults begin to pose a greater and more serious conditions. 

Most important phenomenon, which is the adolescent's life during this transitional period, is the desire, the need to get to know ourselves. The answer to the question "Who am I?" Invention is the most important and urgent task. This path is often long, requiring a lot of internal effort, often painful, but at the same time and very helpful, because finding the answer to the question "Who am I?" Encourage an interest in man himself, he helps shape the views of certain events, things, have their own opinion, to their value system, under which young people evaluate, compare, and other actions, felt the responsibility for his deeds, words and so on. 

Minors sensitive to the social environment, they change and they often find it difficult to focus it, to make the right decisions, especially when atsiduriama ambiguous situation: for example, where the family requires to behave in one way, and informal group-otherwise. Such conflicts may lead to crime, drug abuse and alcohol, etc. .. 

Frequently in this age adolescents are confronted with many problems in communicating with adults, usually in various conflicts with their parents. They have a lot of problems, which promotes not only lend for tobacco, alcohol or drugs, but also ready suicide. And for me as a future social teachers teenage theme is very important and interesting, because the social worker is to be heard and to support, to help solve any problems as teenagers, and parents or guardians. 

Age of adolescence and its features 

It would be useful to remember some of the anatomical and physiological, psychological, cognitive phenomena occurring in the adolescent's body during this transitional period. Anatomical-physiological point of view of adolescent development, the exchange is uneven. Some body parts of the uneven development poses many concerns and adolescent anxiety. This causes and psychological consequences, such as.: Mood change. Sudden mood changes and lead to various hormonal changes taking place adolescent body. Often, teenagers worried about the increase of their body parts. Young people are becoming interested, or what happens to them is normal, or neatstums peers. As the C. Sutton (1999), various studies have shown that boys are glad when they mature early, and that increases their height and weight, slow due to the maturation of boys less confident, and it may take the age and older. Meanwhile, the girls contrary to early-ripening is bad, its more likely to worry about their weight and appearance. In terms of cognitive level, the adolescent becomes able to consider a range of abstract ideas, the rational consideration of the various concepts, critical evaluation of the outspoken thoughts. The latter ability is often linked with the identity search. Thus, adolescence is a self-study, self-discovery and its possible role in the life of the establishment year. Emotions in terms of adolescence may be a period of uncertainty, not only to excess dom?jimusi ourselves, but also concern for the future, or a young person will be able to meet the expectations of adults, to play their new roles, etc. this transition period often leads to various youth-specific trick, and sometimes even depression, apathy. 

Frequently in this age adolescents are confronted with many problems in communicating with adults, usually in various conflicts with their parents. They have a lot of problems, which promotes not only lend for tobacco, alcohol or drugs, but also ready suicide. And for me as a future social teachers teenage theme is very important and interesting, because the social worker is to be heard and to support, to help solve any problems as teenagers, and parents or guardians. 

Long time in adolescence age phase was identified by means of terms to define the term "development crisis", that is negative aspects of this century. Many things, permitted adult, children. Childhood, adolescent society bound by the rules and requirements. These standards and requirements of the child becoming adult, is changing. The adolescent's awareness of himself as a man, already peržengus? age limits, due to his switch from one to the norms and values of others. Adolescent to adult lygiavimasis the ambitions to be similar to the outside, to adapt to some of their life and activities, take adult characteristics, skills, rights, privileges, particularly those which describe the notable difference between the adult and the similarity, as compared with the children. 

Mental development age of adolescence is closely related to the character and activity changes. Serious and a broad range of activity, increased the curiosity of mind requires a higher and more organized mental activity. Adolescent is able to understand more complex concepts of objects and phenomena. Observations of a targeted and organized understanding of the world takes more and more local protin?je adolescent place. Subjects and content of logic, knowledge-based development method of forming the ability to self-reflect, compare, draw conclusions and generalizations. Improve the ability to abstract thinking. Adolescence is characterized by intensive development of logical memory, increasing the ability to logically process the information in memory. Focus on becoming more organized, are becoming increasingly premeditated deed. 

Adolescent is able to make informed decisions, to make rational and aware of their actions and personal and legal responsibility. Particularly worth highlighting that the teenager is a person who is legally able to answer for their deeds and their consequences. Although the law for minors (according to the juvenile development of social-psychological characteristics) provides only a partial legal responsibility, but should be distinguished v?lesniosios slots and early adolescence, as a variable in determining the minor's personal responsibility to the public for their deeds. 

Problems of adolescence 

Personality development process of adolescence complex and controversial. Boyish "moral code" is very distinctive and often contrary to the accepted norms and principles of society. It is important to know that adolescence is a temporary children's psychological distance from family and school, ie Adolescents are becoming less important. Meanwhile, the peer influence increases. The young man has to choose the formal and informal groups to which it belongs. The adolescent gives the group to which he feels is best, in which he is shown respect. Such a group could become the sports club, an art collective, but this group can also become a peer group and to choose the residential cellars, and linking them to the overall activity will be r?kimas, alcohol consumption, and possibly drugs. 

Frequently in this age adolescents are confronted with many problems in communicating with adults, most of the various conflicts with their parents. The latter in his spear still tend to view as a child, and he tries to escape from parental custody, seeking to become independent. Mainly for this reason, adolescent and adult relationship is konfliktiški. Adolescents tend to critically evaluate the adult's opinion, advice. Meanwhile, the opinion of peers is becoming cleaner, and more confidence. Changing nature of the relationship between a young man in adults: a teenager from the position of trying to switch over to the position of the equivalence. At the same time, a young man and the changing relationship between the nature of the peers: Adolescents need to communicate, in order to consolidate their newly perceived position, status, and in extreme circumstances may lead some adolescent behavioral anomalies, deviations, or even the various manifestations of anti-social behavior. 

Thus, it is possible to distinguish the characteristic period of adolescence: emotional immaturity, lack of developed the ability to control their actions, inability to adapt to the wishes of the opportunities to satisfy their needs increase, the desire to find its identity and become an adult. 

Crime as a teen delikventiško conduct occurring form 

Juvenile delinquency and youth around the world is one of the most urgent social problems. Teen crime-usually theft, robbery and rape, murder and the lesser-body injuries, the learning, working, living, leisure places, mostly warm season. Most crimes are planned, adolescents prepares them in advance, sometimes rely on technical measures. 

The main part consists of the juvenile boys. Many women sentenced to imprisonment, had venerin?mis, somatin?mis, mental illness, valkatavo, engaged in prostitution. For example, Russian scientists study the data, not only of law offenders girls to boys include criminal behavior, but also stimulates the young girls, and social action groups, and crime. 

The largest share of juvenile justice-offenders 16-17 years old adolescents, many of them before the age of criminal responsibility (14m.) have been committed violations of law. The actual number of teenage drug users in several times higher than official figures, published law enforcement and public health care institutions. 

In most cases, adolescents in the offense led the discordant family environment, where they lose their spiritual relationship with their parents, susvetim?ja. This results in the child's feeling of insecurity, constant anxiety, even fear of death. Offender can shape and fit the emotional relationship with their parents, demonstrating the behavior of their children netes?t? society. Such an approach, such a provision, the children tend to easily. 

Juvenile crime, promote the unfavorable social situation of the family, education and decline in the prestige of education and traditional value orientations change, juvenile unemployment, drinking, drug addiction, as well as adolescents, leisure unemployment.
