ADOLESCENTES?
El ser humano es un ser social que tiene a relacionarse con otros individuos y
formar sociedades entre aquellos de su misma especie y de otras especies,
interactuando con todo lo que le rodea. Por lo tanto, no es de sorprenderse que el
entorno influya en su comportamiento, especialmente cuando éste, atraviesa por
una etapa de crecimiento y desarrollo físico y emocional, denominada
adolescencia.
¿Alguna vez te has sentido avergonzado porque no llevas puesta ropa cara y de
moda? ¿Te sientes avergonzado (a) si tu mamá te lleva hasta la puerta de la
escuela o intenta darte un beso en público? ¡Has hecho algo que no querías, pero
lo hiciste para encajar o quedar bien con tus nuevos amigos? ¿Te preocupa
demasiado lo que piensen de ti los demás y te sientes insatisfecho con tu
apariencia física? Si la respuesta es sí, es muy probable que estés atravesando
por la etapa mencionada anteriormente y tengas entre 12 y 18 años de edad; si
respondiste no, tal vez no seas un adolescente, sin embargo, éste artículo
también te ayudará a entender y descubrir qué es lo que ocasiona que los
adolescentes se comporten de la manera que lo hacen, y tal vez, si eres padre de
uno, hasta encuentres la manera de llevarte mejor con el o ella.
Empezaré por una anécdota personal. La primera vez que fui a una disco/antro,
fue cuando me gradué de la preparatoria, estaba por cumplir 18 años y me sentía
emocionada por asistir a dicha fiesta con mis amigos y mi hermana. No tenía ni
idea de cómo funcionaba todo en ése ambiente, pero me sentí frustrada cuando vi
que la gente empezó a bailar hasta las 11:00 pm y ¡mis papás me habían dado
permiso hasta las 12:00! Resumiré los siguientes hechos: eran las 12:20 pm
cuando mi hermana y yo nos dirigíamos a la puerta y ¡mi mamá estaba ahí, en
pijama y preguntándole a los meseros por mi hermana y por mí! ¡Trágame tierra!
fue lo que pensé. ¿Te imaginas por qué me sentí así? Si no es así, permíteme
explicarte:
Otros factor como la lucha por la independencia, el sentimiento que les urge de
probarse como autónomos, lo que les lleva a rechazar el consejo de sus padres y
desarrollar un fuerte lazo con su grupo de amigos, mismos, que pueden ser una
influencia positiva o negativa; ésta última constituye el principio de una serie de
comportamientos destructivos, como el consumo de drogas, fumar o beber
alcohol, actos de vandalismo, agresividad o bullying, los cuales, no siempre están
seguros de realizar, pero los hacen por encajar o sentirse parte de algo.
Por otra parte, interesa más a los adolescentes la calidad del tiempo dedicado que
la cantidad, así como también, actuar de acuerdo a lo que se predica, pues si hay
algo que lastima y molesta a los adolescentes, es la doble moral de los adultos,
cuando hacen lo contrario a lo que les enseñan o tratan de imponer.
Have you ever felt embarrassed because you are not wearing expensive and
fashionable clothes? Do you feel embarrassed if your mom takes you to the
school door or tries to kiss you in public? You've done something you did not
want, but did you do it to fit in or fit in with your new friends? Do you worry too
much what others think of you and feel dissatisfied with your physical
appearance? If the answer is yes, it is very likely that you are going through the
stage mentioned above and you are between 12 and 18 years of age; if you
answered no, maybe you are not a teenager, however, this article will also help
you understand and discover what it is that causes teenagers to behave the way
they do, and maybe, if you are a parent, until you find a way to get along better
with him or her.
I'll start with a personal anecdote. The first time I went to a disco / den, it was
when I graduated from high school, I was about to turn 18 and I felt excited to
attend that party with my friends and my sister. I had no idea how everything
worked in that environment, but I felt frustrated when I saw that people started
dancing until 11:00 pm and my parents had given me permission until 12:00! I
will summarize the following facts: it was 12:20 pm when my sister and I went to
the door and my mom was there, in her pajamas and asking the waiters for my
sister and me! Earth swallow me! It was what I thought. Can you imagine why I
felt that way? If not, let me explain:
The most important influences on psychosocial development include the
development of the individual's sexual, moral, ethical and spiritual identity and
the struggles for independence / dependence among their peers and the influence
of their parents. This means that adolescents are constantly searching for their
identity, which makes them prone to copy or adopt patterns of behavior of those
who consider their role models, usually celebrities.
The media plays an important role in the behavior of adolescents. The constant
bombardment of advertising that incites sex through music, being thin, with
perfect bodies to be happy and get a partner, and celebrities and models as
examples, cause concern in adolescents about their appearance, which leads
them to control the diet and develop eating disorders, such as anorexia and
bulimia, or undergo aesthetic surgeries such as bust or buttocks, requesting this
as a birthday gift.
Other factors such as the struggle for independence, the feeling that urges them
to prove themselves as autonomous, which leads them to reject the advice of their
parents and develop a strong bond with their group of friends, which can be a
positive influence or negative; the latter is the beginning of a series of destructive
behaviors, such as drug use, smoking or drinking alcohol, acts of vandalism,
aggression or bullying, which are not always safe to perform, but they do so by
fitting in or feeling part of something.
Adolescents do not love risk, they are immersed in it because the
neurophysiological mechanisms that allow us to discern what is convenient or
not, are not developed until 20-23 years of age, which explains many behaviors.
In addition to the factors already mentioned, family circumstances such as
divorce and new couples of their parents have a great influence on the behavior of
adolescents, as well as the little coexistence with them, which is replaced by the
use of new technologies, generating addiction to the internet and encouraging
leisure.
According to various studies, the family is the basic unit of health and education
that empowers individuals to live normally in society and in life, which is why it is
the responsibility of educating with love and humor, exercising an affective
authority, shared and responsible, not confusing authority with authoritarianism.
On the other hand, adolescents are more interested in the quality of time devoted
than quantity, as well as acting according to what is preached, because if there is
something that hurts and annoys adolescents, it is the double standards of
adults , when they do the opposite of what they are taught or try to impose.
