Because of this she is slowly rotting away. The more she struggles by herself with the rape, the less she is able to speak. Melinda is no longer positive and fun girl. She has changed to a pessimistic, self-loathing girl. “My closet is a good thing, a quiet place that helps me hold these thoughts inside my head where no one can hear them” (51) Melinda’s is relying on her closet and is keeping everything in her head.
One might as why these teenage girls impersonate an entirely different person. Some may say that this is mainly due to being rebellious or bad. The sad but true reality is that most of these girls simply are in search for independence and a fulfillment of their fantasies. In the story titled “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” by Joyce Carol Oates Connie a young teenager who while away from home acts in such a mature way that sends out the wrong message. Connie fails to realize the great danger she takes on while over exaggerating her appearance and attitude.
With a rapidly changing body and brain, adolescents seek out the independence they crave, while still not having the capacity or capability to truly be on their own. This can cause a great deal of imbalance within the parent-child relationship (Steinburg, 2008, p. 43). For some parents, adolescence is the first time they have seen any indication that their child is no longer that perfect, sweet baby that they once held in their arms. This often causes confusion, and is concerning to them. It is usually at this time that I will get a phone call from a parent asking for my help in dealing with their “out of control” teenager, and Tracy Freeland is no different.
Her carer often comes round and is nasty to her, pushes her and calls her names. Mary hasn’t told anyone because she thinks it is her fault, she is being annoying and this is why her carer is horrible to her. Also people who are dependent on others for personal care. Sometimes people living alone and depending on a carer can make a person very isolated and they may find that their main contact with the outside world is through their carer. Their carer may be the person they see the most in the day.
As the story transpires, Jane's unknown figure becomes all that is known to her; however, because of what is expected of her as a woman it is difficult for her to acknowledge her own self as she is afraid of her own monstrosity. Her repression is what initiates her transgression of becoming this unknown figure, and through excessive behaviour and desire she is able to recognize her situation as everything she is initially told is meant to keep her in the dark. Living in the nineteenth century, Jane has an extensive amount of pressure to be the perfect housewife and comply to her domestic expectations. Women have little rights and respect, and they must pursue their roles as women and tend to their husband and children's needs without complaint. Jane is very aware of these pressures placed upon her, as she is constantly describing how she must make John happy, and get well for John and the baby.
After the incident of her mother taken away from her she drastically became a whole another person. At her new foster home Antonia wasn't as nice as she once was. Antonia was rather rude to her foster parents Tillie and Luis. She was open minded and caring before but once she was brought into the new foster family it was as if she had lost these character traits. She still showed love to her mother and brothers but she still boxed out the foster parents who have treating her as a princess.
Personality is characterized and shaped by the relationship that he or she had with their parents as a child and to present day. It is evident that Allison’s behavior is influenced by her relationship with her parents. Since she is ignored largely by her parents, Allison’s needs were not met by nurturing parents and this results in Allison experiencing extreme feelings of uselessness, self doubt, and hesitancy. Therefore, Allison suffers from basic anxiety, as she has feelings of helplessness and insecurity. As a child (and even now when Allison is a teenager,) Allison feels alone and isolated in a hostile environment because her parents and (and even her peers,) are not caring towards her, hence the reason why she is so reserved and sensitive.
Too many mothers fear their child may be taken away from them. A lot of us try to avoid any conversation about how we’re feeling, or deny that it can be happening to them. Several of them do not get the counseling that they need. Postpartum depression can make it hard to talk about feeling depressed after having a baby. Women tend to stay to themselves and handle the situation privately.
Things happen in your life for a reason, some good and some bad. Coming of Age Coming of Age can be tough especially entering the adult world! Sometimes growing up you don’t realize how easy you have it as a kid. As you grow up you go through obstacles that “mold” and “shape” you into the person you become.
