Question

Adolescence is described as a time of turmoil. Turmoil is by definition a state of great

disturbance, confusion, or uncertainty. Do you believe this is true? Explain in at least 10
sentences.

Answer 1

I believe that this can be any way you take it.Not all teens are the same we don’t all develop or grow mentally when we are teens. We can do great, but we can also do bad. Some teens make horrible decisions and when they reach an adult they start maturing and growing mentally I don’t think that teens are a state of great, because our minds aren’t fully developed. A lot of teens make very immature decisions and are the biggest reasons why the world faces so many problems. Teens go thru so much change and although they can help the world and they can be great or they are. I personally don’t think it is a state of great.

Answer 2

Answer: Yes, I believe this is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe this because it is a time in which the child is growing and developing mentally as well as physically. As a result of these rapid changes, the child is often influenced very quickly as their mind is not exactly settled down. That is why many adolescents make decisions that are either unhealthy or will prove dangerous later on. At this time they are developing which means their brains are prone to pick things up depending on the environment. In this day and age social media are a big thing and many things on social media are fake or unrealistic, due to adolescents' minds being easily influenced they often find themselves questioning their identity and self-worth. This leads to many problems such as self-image problems, depression, etc. This is why there is an increase seen in depression rates at this age. At this age, many adolescents look up to people who are greater in age, as it is viewed as "cool". For example in a high school setting, there are seniors and freshmen both. The freshmen usually look up to the seniors therefore, if the seniors are doing drugs it is considered "cool" and the freshmen are easily influenced into doing them as well. Therefore, the phrase "set an example for the younger ones" is said, in order for adolescents to grow up happy and with the right mindset.
