Chapter 3: The Myth of Adolescence EXPOSING LOW EXPECTATIONS THAT ARE ROBBING OUR GENERATION

OMG this chapter really spoke to me, In this chapter the boys explain that society today expect teenagers to be lazy, sit around and act as teenage life as a cruise. When actually our teen years means a lot because it is a launch pad into our future and will determine what we will become, but more about that in chapter 4 and the next blog.

What this chapter is saying is that teens in this generation are low and aren't expected to do much, but they are suppose to do a lot. Teens are suppose to be influnces to younger people but not today, back about 100 years ago there was no such thing as a TEENAGER but as this generation came to be the world put the word ADOLESCENCE & TEENAGER into everyday life which now means the ages between 13 and 19. When a child is becoming an adult going through puberty and maturing.

People about 100 years ago at the age of 15 were adults and they were given big jobs that most 30 year olds can't even do these days. But why isn't it like this these days? It's because society these believes that children between ages 13 & 19 should have adventurous time during this stage. but it's not true. Teens should become more mature, wiser and respectful and see what they have install for their lives in the future determined by how they are living their teens lives at the moment and in the years to come. Now all about how we can put that into practise in chapter 4.
