In today’s modern and fast paced society, teenagers have had to rush through life and begin adulthood earlier than the generations before. Many teens have also been expected to make this step in life without the help of a parent or mature adult, because they are too busy with their own lives.

I agree with David Elkind that “teenagers have lost their privileged position” and that unlike generations of teenagers before, this generation

The way a child behaves is entirely due to hormones. Puberty is a time of great change.
Elibeth Torres Professor Gaydosh English 101 31 March 2012 The Impact of Vocational Education on Mike Rose The Vocational Education in high school can be quite helpful for some students, but for other students is just a waste of time and they can acquire a feeling of embarrassment. In the short Non-fiction story “I Just Wanna Be Average” by Mike Rose, he narrates how he was placed in the Vocational Education track by mistake, due to a confusion with another student last name.

These are known as transitions and can be as common as starting school to changes of the body, to transitions only some children and young people may experience, such as the seperation of parents to abuse.

On the other hand a teenager could cut all parental ties and become more dependent on their friends, as their friends could be going through similar experiences and their parents may describe their behaviour as “just going through a stage”(Offer et al 1981, in Gross).
