The Teen Age Experience By: Baruka Brooklyn Princess

So much happens in that stage of life that sort of takes off once you reach the teen age. You can notice that many adults who referr to events in their past experiences that happened while they were teen agers. Woman usually say for instance that they first had a child in their teen age, importantly enough as well they become able to concieve once mensus begins then or earlier as well.

Bringing it up I can say that we do often forget how important the nurturing of the teen ager among us is. I seen halls of teens who have been forgotten and It shows up just like a disease shows up as a flesh wound; but is set in the blood stream and organ tissue some where. Teens without educated advisers cause broken societies, leading them to distructive behaviors.

I have dedicated my life to understanding it so much so because the teen agers that I have known and had the privalege to have gotten to know, have left such an impression on my life, that I feel the calling too great to let the world know that it is an issue deserving of everyone joinin in to a preserve life commitment. I have known teens who were full of life one day and slain the next. How did this desease become a global problem? We have all expected for the teen to raise themselves and it shows when we pass the buck and expect someone else todo what needs to be done while we talk about it. It affects us all at some point.

I am however blessed with the gem of having my own teen ager, and making sure that I put the time and effort into him. I let him know just how important it is for him to be vigilant in learning about the pitfalls, hot spots, and take you downs. If they know that what is there has destroyed so many before them, and that even you wanna see their progress, once you see the growth from the teen ager to the young adult, able to make decisions that make life work - It is the greatest gift you can ever obtain. You increase the value of your social structure. Thereby Increasing YOU!
