ADOLESCENCE: CHANGES IN ADOLESCENCE
Capacity: Recognizes and affirms her sex appeal with their peers and social adaptation and acceptance
One of the major changes that are experienced in adolescence has to do with acceptance and adaptation to new body , the body that is very different from what you had for the child. All physical changes, and the speed with which they live, generate feelings of worry and anxiety. Is it normal what is happening to me?, Why my body is so rare?, Why I move awkwardly now?, Would you pass the same to others? ...
This situation creates a kind insulation (an example of this is that it prefers to spend much time alone locked / a in the room) while a constant exploration of the body. Also arise feelings of shame and discomfort, especially the belief that other people are very aware of the changes experienced by our bodies. It also generates that he devotes much time and attention to physical appearance, trying new ways of dressing, grooming, talking, walking, with the intent to be more attractive and to be accepted.
The new look not only changes the relationship and the image we have of an / o it / o, but also produce changes in relations with las otras personas. Esto porque al dejar atrás el cuerpo de niño o niña, las personas adultas te perciben de manera diferente, y esperan que “si tu cuerpo es de adulto, actúes como adulto“, lo que puede causar problemas si se delegan responsabilidades para las que emocionalmente no estés preparado.
Otra situación que suele pasar es que se genere un distanciamiento físico entre el o la adolescente y sus padres o personas adultas cercanas, a diferencia de la época infantil en la que solían intercambiar besos, caricias y abrazos. Esta distancia física puede resultar muy dolorosa para ambas partes. Conforme va pasando el tiempo, y se logra conocer y explorar el cuerpo, las preocupaciones van disminuyendo and is experiencing a greater acceptance and bodily comfort.
In the last years of adolescence, usually experience feelings of reassurance regarding the body itself, which allows an integration of body image (ie, the inner image we have of our own body). It is certain that the way how to live and feel all these physical changes, as well as the reaction of the people around us to this new body will determine the self-esteem and self-concept we have of ourselves.
Another process characteristic of the adolescent stage is the acquisition of new thinking skills. What happens is that in childhood, there is a thought particular type, that is focused on one thing at a time and based on the here and now reality (what you see). In contrast, adolescence is a way of thinking takes formal or hypothetical-deductive, with which it can reason and go beyond the actual experience.
Thus, the adolescents are interested in problems that have nothing to do with his really close, develop their critical ability, believe in values \u200b\u200band long-term consequences, enjoy the ability to reflect and explore their feelings and thoughts , among other things. All this allows them to question their own positions and adults who occupy a place of authority, like parents, mothers or teachers. Influence
media
now live in a society bombarded by various media. In this television to radio, from print materials to the Internet, we have at our disposal a wealth of information and entertainment. Many advertising companies are specifically focused on adolescents. Although there are many other media outlets that reach our children, we consider two particularly important: THE TELEVISION
The typical American teenager is about three hours of television per day, which makes television one of its primary sources of news and information. In a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that:
ü More than half of teenagers think they have learned something important about sexual health on television.
ü During the season from 2001 to 2002, 83% of the most popular with teens had sexual content, whether in the form of programs that talk about sex or the sexual behavior is demonstrated.
ü The presence of sexual content on television makes a powerful force that has the potential to distort the true meaning of youth. If teenagers repeatedly watching a performance, they will eventually think that it is very important, although the values \u200b\u200bwithin their family or their own personal values \u200b\u200bcontradicted.
