What first comes to mind when someone mentions teens and how they behave? When I think of Teens, I think that teen behavior is getting out of control. We have teens out there who do thighs they aren’t supposed to do that will get them in big trouble. For reference, kids are vaping and smoking cigars at ages like 13+; there are even teens there getting drunk and doing legal activities. Teens have a different mind set; they would look at the worst in people or things and never see the good. Teens in middle school, especially high school, create drama which leads to them having arguments and fights.
During these times, teens don’t really think about what they want. They don’t seek help and suffer with things, which makes they do things like commit suicide and hurt themselves in lots of ways. Teens have reasons for their actions; for example, they could be going through something like a family member dying, getting abused, or having family problems that affect their learning environment. These problems affect teens in many different ways mentally and physically it can affect their mental health.
Nowadays, teens cuss, do illegal things, don’t pay attention in school, follow their friends’ bad decisions, and even disrespect their mothers/or fathers, and they don’t appreciate anything they receive. Teens spend more time with friends and less time with their family, and when they do get the chance to be with their family, they go on their cellular devices, not giving their family their full attention. Teens spend too much time alone in their room on their phones not experiencing nature outside around them.
Good teen behavior – There are many teens out there that do what a typical teenager should do like pay attention in school and to respect others like teachers, family, and friends even classmates because to get respect from others you have to be respectful. Another thing good teens do is spend lots of time with their family and find some time for their friends because you should spend all the time you have with them cause one day you won’t be able to do this anymore. The most important thing is to pay attention in school and spend less time on your phone because school is going to get you somewhere well phones won’t.
