ADOLESCENCE

MUHAMMAD IFTAR MUBARAK BIN ABD SAMAT   PTM140716772

Many scholars have written expannsively pertaining adolescence, and while they have focused on the changes that occur or the problems that adolescents face, they o

ften forget to point out how to deal with the problems that come about during this vital stage in the development of the person. This topic will focus on some of the tribulations associated with adolescence and how to deal with them.

Rebelliousness towards authority figures

Many young people whilst undergoing the transition from chilhood to adulthood tend t be rebellious, perhaps because of the rapid biological changes occuring in their bodies, or according to Sigmund Freud, because of fixation at either stage in the development of personality, especially at the anal stage. When toilet training is initiated during the second year of life, the child has now been introduced to external regulations of instinctual impulses to postpone gratification. How this new development affects the child will depend on the method of toilet training the mother uses. If the mother is understanding and pleasant in her approach to the toilet training, the child is likely to develop into a healthy and productive individual. On the other hand, if the mother is excessively strict and repressive, the child may develop rebelliousness.

Drug abuse

When one takes drugs, either for medical purposes or recreation, there is a benefit or reward that one is trying to achieve. There are many factors that can cause drug addiction, and such as, they range from lineliness, family problems, anxiety stress, peer presure, curiosity, and sensation seeking and so on. Adolescence are most prone to drug abuse, especially through peer pressure and because of the desire to fit in. Such as, there ought to be effective ways of dealing with the manace of drug abuse, and as the abuse can be quite an uphill tasks, not to mention that the costs incurred in good rehabilitation centers are astronomical.

What ought to be done, therefore, is to engage  adolescents in activities that would ensure that they are not idle, productive and engaging activities like sports are highly recommended, and also productive hobbies.

Depression

Some people describe depression as "living in a black hole" or having a feeling of impending doom. However, some depressed people dont feel sad at all-they may fee lifeless, empty, and apathetic, or adolescents in particular may even feel angry, aggressive, and restless.

Whatever the symptoms, depression is different from normal sadnessin that it engulfs one's day-to-day hopelessness, and worthlessness are intense and unrelenting, with little, if any, relief.

Depression is a major risk factor for suicide. The deep despair and hopelessness that goes along with depression can make suicide feel like the only way to escape the pain. Thoughts of death or suicide are a serious symptom of depression; it is advisable that one takes any suicidal talk or behavior seriously. It's not just a warning sign that the person is thinking about suicide:it's a cry for help.

What parent ought to do curb depression among adolescents is to try to talk to them and create a relaxed atmosphere with their adolescent teens so that as they go through some of the changes that are accordingly. Lack of a figure to advise teenagers appropriately can cause them to engage in vices such as drug abuse or others and later regret, and the whole process can lead to depression.

I agree with this topic because depression like make a person become more worst at all.

Adolesence

Zharif Safiuddin Bin Abdul Halim (PTM140716755)
Section 08



Adolescence is in the period time between childhood and adulthood . It is in years between onset of puberty and assumption of adult responsibilities . Adolescence are happen in 13 until 18 years old . It may be can extended . There was three development tasks . One of the tasks is individuation . It develop personal identity . For example , we will be become own unique person that were not parents child . Seconds is  separation . We will learn to think by ourselves , without adult influence . Autonomy is one of three development tasks . It's right to self-govern . For example , the adolescence are the beginning to challenge parental values .  it now typically begins prior to the teenage years and there has been a normative shift of it occurring in preadolescences , particularly in females . Physical growth, as distinct from puberty  and cognitive development generally seen in adolescence, can also extend into the early twenties. Thus chronological age provides only a rough marker of adolescence, and scholars have found it difficult to agree upon a precise definition of adolescence.





A thorough understanding of adolescence in society depends on information from various perspectives, including physyology, biology,history, sociology, education, and anthropology. Within all of these perspectives, adolescence is viewed as a transitional period between childhood and adulthood, whose cultural purpose is the preparation of children for adult roles. It is a period of multiple transitions involving education , training, employment and unemployment, as well as transitions from one living circumstance to another.
The end of adolescence and the beginning of adulthood varies by country and by function, and furthermore even within a single nation state or culture there can be different ages at which an individual is considered mature enough for society to entrust them with certain privileges and responsibilities. Such milestones include driving a vehicle, having legal sexual relations, serving in the armed forces or on a jury, purchasing and drinking alcohol, voting, entering into contracts, finishing certain levels of education, and marriage. Adolescence is usually accompanied by an increased independence allowed by the parents or legal guardians and less supervision as compared to preadolescences.

ADOLESCENCE

MUHAMMAD IFTAR MUBARAK BIN ABD SAMAT  PTM140716772


Adolescence is a stage of life that will not last forever. Yes , i agree with this topic. When adolescence comes to mind many people think of rebellion, parties, drugs, sex, hanging out with friends, having "good times", and having fun. However when i think of adolescence i take it for whaqt it really is, simply a time where our bodies and mind mature. Most people have a view on adolescence including: i wish i could be ad adolescence forever, and i am glad this is just a phase and will not last forever. I particularly feel that only the second part of that statement applies to me at this point in time.

Many people wish that they could be an adolescence forever. Adolescence is a time where we go through puberty and evolve and mature mentally and physically. During this time we have physical development. Everyone has a little bit different maturation and i believe that because of this, this would be the reason why people would want to be a adolescent forever. For most adolescents and teenagers being an adolescents is a time to rebel and to have fun. The main reason for this would be that many adolescences have not reached their peak of maturity. Even though they yearn to be known as adults by adults and their parents, they actually fear the responsibilities of growing up such as working and supporting a spouse and kids. They feel that they want to be more independent but fear being totally independent, it's actually almost an oxymoron.

Even though as earlier stated i don't want to be an adolescent forever now, i did at one point feel that way. When i was youger at about the age twelve years old, i was nearly done my physical and sexual development but i was far behind in my social development. I've always had a good strong relationship with my parents but i had never had a strong romantic relationship until the current one which started two years ago . I also as many still do i was still somewhat afraid of the idea of having to support myself working a job to make all the money to support even myself, although i now accept and look foward to the idea of being able to make enough money that i will never have to worrk about money problems for me or family.

With the wisdom and the knowledge that i had acquired in my times of being a child and an adolescence i look forward to the future of being an adult and being able to support my family. By now i am both physically and mentally mature, and i have also developed socially in these short years. I truly an glad that being an adolescence is just a phase and that i am reaching the very end of adolescence and the begining of the rest of my life.

SECTION 08


 Adolescence is a phase separate from both early childhood and adulthood. It is a transitional period that requires special attention and protection. Physically, children go through a number of transitions while they mature. We now know that the brain undergoes quite substantial developments in early adolescence, which affect emotional skills as well as physical and mental abilities. Adolescence is also when gender norms are either solidified, rejected or transformed.As adolescent girls and boys grow, they take on additional responsibilities, experiment with new ways of doing things and push for independence. It is a time in which values and skills are developed that have great impact on well-being.

adults.

During adolescence, preteens and teens going through puberty become increasingly conscious of their body image. They develop their sexual, gender, and ethnic identities. Peer relationships become increasingly important. School responsibilities increase and some teens get a job. Many teens experiment with drugs and alcohol. The teen years have unique stresses and pressures. Teens may not always let on but parents and other caring adults play a vital role in providing support and helping teens achieve their best on their way to adulthood.


BEHAVIOR

The sudden and rapid physical changes that adolescents go through make adolescents very self-conscious, sensitive, and worried about their own body changes. They may make painful comparisons about themselves with their peers.

Because physical changes may not occur in a smooth, regular schedule, adolescents may go through awkward stages, both about their appearance and physical coordination. Girls may be anxious if they are not ready for the beginning of their menstrual periods. Boys may worry if they do not know about nocturnal emissions.

During adolescence, it is normal for young people to begin to separate from their parents and establish their own identity. In some cases, this may occur without a problem from their parents and other family members. However, in some families, the adolescent's rebellion may lead to conflict as the parents try to keep control.

As adolescents pull away from their parents in a search for their own identity, their friends become more important.

Their peer group may become a safe haven, in which the adolescent can test new ideas.In early adolescence, the peer group usually consists of non-romantic friendships, often including "cliques," gangs, or clubs. Members of the peer group often try to act alike, dress alike, have secret codes or rituals, and participate in the same activities.As the youth moves into mid-adolescence (14 to 16 years) and beyond, the peer group expands to include romantic friendships.

In mid- to late adolescence, young people often feel the need to establish their sexual identity by becoming comfortable with their body and sexual feelings. Through romantic friendships, dating, and experimenting, adolescents learn to express and receive intimate or sexual advances. Young people who do not have the opportunity for such experiences may have more difficulty with intimate relationships when they are adults.

Adolescents usually have behaviors that are consistent with several of adolescence:

The first is that they are "on stage" and other people's attention is constantly centered on their appearance or actions. This normal self-centeredness may appear (especially to adults) to border on paranoia, self-love (narcissism), or even hysteria.Another myth of adolescence is the idea that "it will never happen to me, only the other person." "It" may represent becoming pregnant or catching a sexually-transmitted disease after having unprotected sex, causing a car crash while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or any of the many other negative effects of risk-taking behaviors.

Yes, i agree with this topic.

Rules and Discipline

Muhammad Iftar Mubarak Bin Abd Samat (PTM140716772)

There's value of discipline in all walks of life. Whether at college or at home, in the office or in the factory, in the playground or in the battlefield, discipline is a necessity. Without discipline, there will be complete chaos and disorder. There will be no peace and progress.

To be guided by rules, to pay due regard to elders and superior officers, to obey them and to behave in an orderly manner, all these come under the term discipline.

In college, if the boys are not disciplined, the boys themselves will learn nothing and the very purpose of education will be defeated.

Similarly, if the subordinates do not obey their senior officers in offices and factories, it will become difficult to carry on the work of production and administration.

The country will not succeed if its public servant are not disciplined. there will be no plan and no organization.

Similarly, if the army and the police refuse to carry out the orders of their generals and commanders, the enemy and the hooligans will have no difficulty in establishing their sway in the country.

Thus, an undisciplined nation cannot expect to remain independent even for a moment.

Even in minor spheres, such as the home and the playground, people cannot do without discipline. If there be not discipline in the family, all the members of the family will go their own way. Then, there will be no peace and order in the family.

Discipline is a good thing and there's no evil in it. It builds character, develops strength and unity and fosters co-operation. It is, therefore, necessary, that boys should be taught discipline from their very childhood. It should never be overlooked, as it is the secret of success in life.

Discipline is very important to students. When the disciples abide by school rules, this means that they have discipline. The school rules that must be followed is punctual, wear a badge, short hair and many others.
Disciplined pupils will create a more comfortable environment in the classroom. They will always keep the behavior from breaking school rules, such as make a noise, fighting, bullying and the like. This condition can also prevent them from getting into trouble as a fine teacher, is not trusted, behind in education and so on which can interfere with their studies .
