adolescence then and now

Adolescence wasn't really that as different back then as it is now. I learned that teens wet through all of the same conflicts and pressures that we are going through now. We may not see this though because we see adults as only adults. We never imagine them as teenagers or kids. However , back then, teens were probably given more freedom. Nowadays, the world is a dangerous place for adolescents. They could get kidnapped or get in a fight or worse. Despite this, adolescence is very similar to several decades ago.

FRIM response

Camping overnight with people you see in school daily can be a completely new experience. You will get closer to those people than you ever had before. You get to know how they behave and act while not in a school environment. This goes for students as well as teachers. 

This can be a fun experience, but also an uncomfortable one too. When camping with others, one might not what people seeing them while grooming or changing clothes. I'm fine with people seeing me change, but some people are so conscious of other people that they have to go inside of their tent to change clothes (unless they're girls, then they can't really change in public). You also get to see the true side of people while camping. In school, somebody might not really be that fun to be around, but while camping, they are very fun and social people. Some people might just act the same way that they always act in school or at home. Camping is a great way to get to know somebody outside of school or the workplace, and its also a fun experience.

Quote

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world"
-Mahatma Ghandi
This quote means that if you want change in the world, you have to make it. You can't jut sit back and let somebody else do all of the work.
I choose this quote because it inspires people not to let all of the politicians run their country. It also shows that anybody can change the world, no mater what age, race, occupation or social status.
