BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
by Bruce Lee
I don't think that teenage years are the best in our life. It is true that they are very important, because they direct your life to a way or to another different way. In these years you know new people, you discover your ambitions, they establish your personality, the way you are, and it is one of the inflection points in our life. In my opinion, the best years in our life, undoubtedly it's when you're a child, when you are three or four years old, in that age, people don't know the evil, although there are some boys more restless, others are very shy... In teenage years it's most important, in their point of view, generally, going to parties, drink, because they think that they are alive, and they are sure that they are adult, when really, they still being a teenage.
ResponderEliminarHello everybody (everybody probably just being Albert) to a new episode on ᴡʜʏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ᴡʀᴏɴɢ, ᴛʜᴇ ᴤᴀɢᴀ!!!. On our third topic of today we have: Adolescence! for some reason, and why it seems like there's people agreeing that it is the best time on our lives?, when if you ask a teenager at random, chances are the wish to go back to be a child or just completely skip this awkward phase and be adults.
ResponderEliminarTo make things plain and simple, i will say that yes, adolescence hits each person on a different way, some people become more mature and physically attractive and others... others decide to comment on their teacher's blog like they are presenting a late night show because they are bored as hell. So, having made this clear. since the topic of adolescence looks like it's never going to end, is full of confusing stuff that no one gets, and lots of information about it come from condescending adults (just like adolescence itself), lets just limit ourselves to the redaction Ms. Pöhnlein did completely out of her own will and not to scratch some extra points in English.
Addressing the points stated on the text by order in which they appear. Teenage life, as opposite, is not often as exciting or interesting as it may look from a different point in life, or at least it hasnt been for my generation, and specially not in Salobreña. Here, a common complain and discontent factor between the youth is that there's nothing interesting nor exciting to do in the entire town and its nearby area, unless, you consider two weekly hours of training on the local sports centre, which many dont at this point, or at least dont consider it enough. The amount of activities to do, places to go have fun and events to assist and enjoy shine in Salobreña for its absence, so it is no surprise that most end up doing the "big bottle" whenever the local police refuses to check because the alternative is either spending more money and time taking a bus to even Granada or stare at their screens for anything to distract them, the first one ends up becoming too expensive for a group of the population that each year has it harder to find a job that isnt being a waiter at a bar or hotel explicitly only in summers, and the second one ending up being "burning" someone into apathy and even potentially addiction.
And the second main point, and last that I will adress quickly, is the one occupying most of the second paragraph. And I must admit that is curious reading someone call "exciting" to "feel down like if(is) the worst thing", specially when studies show that recently on adolescence, diagnosed depression and bipolar disorder affect 14.3% of teenagers, 11.7% of the adolescents met criteria for major depressive disorder or dysthymia and There is a nearly two-fold increase in mood disorders from 13 to 18, from 8.4% to 15.4%. Just to start with.
Is it fair that i use this information on someone who probably just wanted to get a few extra points on her English class around 8 years ago?, quite possibly. Do I get a some kind of little sick enjoyment out of it?, maybe. Will I post this anyways to scratch a few extra points on my English class? The fact you are reading this right now talks by itself.
