Reproductive and Adolescent Issues.

The adolescent gets into different types of relationships and it’s the most vulnerable period in a young person’s life.

In general, what holds for adult relationship is in large part true for the young person except that they, teens, are easily led and easily misled by the cunning ones of their age group as well as adults.  For sake of definition, a teen or adolescent is someone who is under 18 years of age.

Broadly, the types of relationships that the teens get into can be divided into two: non-intimate, non-sexual and intimate/sexual relationships. As I explained in other parts of this book, the first type is called platonic relationship.

 

Whatever the type of relationship, the main issue with teen relationship is that it is based on trust. Teen can also express very strong trust and dependency in a relationship so much that if the relationship fails, it may hurt them very badly. Failure or hurt in a relationship of either type may leave a permanent impression on the teen and may therefore affect how he or she relates in future. Adolescent mind is unstable despite the strong emotion that follows their relationship: they can also change with relative ease as the case study below will show. Similarly, there are only two health related issues to be apprehensive about in the teenagers: Sexual matters and drugs. If one can  overcome this, the matter of discipline and hard work or productivity can be solved with some encouragement.

 

Non-intimate relationship is one consisting of ordinary friendship. It may be school mates of either gender or it may be casual friend with the neighbour who lives next door.

It may be safe though not sexual. It may not be safe in other security areas for example; unsupervised relationship may be exploited such as use in forced labour. The teen may also receive bad advice and so may be misled etc.

A typical young person who is just emerging from the cover and protection of his or her parents may not be aware of the dangers that lay in waiting outside. I will use this opportunity to advise the young ones and to advise the parents that there are dangers out there and caution is advised on who you choose as friends.

 

 

The adolescent years usually marked a turning point in a person’s life. If anything will go wrong in the person, it will go wrong now. If things will go right, the foundation will be laid now. 

A child who is emerging into young adult has received some basic training (good or/and bad) from the parents and guardian whilst at home. He or she, who is now gradually leaving the home must in the past, had some childhood friends which may continue through adolescence into adulthood. Such relationship may continue to influence each other for the rest of their lives.

 

It may also be friends that were made in school. Such friends may continue for good or for bad, for a short while or for the rest of your lives.

 

However in majority of cases and almost in everyone, you will meet new ones on the street, in new school, internet and many in new environments. They will influence you and either converts you into their own world or you convert them into your own world. There is no neutral point.

 

You can not have a friend or relationship without some influence.

 

Some will call the previous trainings or upbringing which you may have received in childhood as rubbish and that you should abandon them and to embrace theirs. They will attempt to teach you new ways—their ways which may not be the way you know or the way that is right for you. 

 

That is where you must exercise caution Sit back and consider your friends, very carefully. Since, you the young person, is going as a “green” person into the world there will be strange things and challenges ahead.

 

Because adolescent are also not yet fully in grasp with reality, they tend to be confused and not really happy with what is going on around them. This is why they may become rebellious to the rules at home and in public for they want to change things in their own image.  Also, they think they are above the law (false perception as they are no longer children.  Note that the age of criminal responsibility for children in the UK for example, is from over 10 yeas of age) In so doing they may get into trouble with the law.

 

The golden rule is that adolescent or teens should be wary of what will cause harm to their mental and physical health.

 

An associate or person in relationship is likely to introduce something to you to make you “feel good”. Anything that will make you feel good or give you “happiness” or be described as a “happy pill” is a dangerous thing and should be resisted.

 

Another issue is that a lot of adolescent are shy at the start of their young life. This is a problem in boys who may want to approach girls for the first time. Shyness and the right words to use ...Continue Here
