Recommended: Effect Of Bad Parenting

For an English assignment I was asked by my teacher to indie about growing up and giving up the things you love doing. This essay is supposed to be conducive. By conducing this essay it shows growing up it isn't all it is cracked up to be. Just the thought of growing up made me turn ghostly pale. When I stare at adults I see how some of them are unhappy and not satisfied with their lives. I see how someone got hitched to the wrong companion. I've watched couples who have been married for years and years but do not seem pleased to be with each another. It seems everyone has a monogamy. Why is it that when an adult gets married someone loses their passion f towards each another? Is it a curse? I'm curious to know if it happens to everyone in this world. I have witnessed how children dislike their parents or parent. I watch as some parents or parent don't even pay attention to their own flesh and blood. How can a parent neglect their child? Your child is significant. Parents are wrongheaded. I look around this town and observe the adult life. I've noticed that when parents get divorced it tears up their family. Leaving their children or child to choose who to live with. Now that's Insane. Almost everybody makes a disaster of their life and are living in regret. Instead of trying to fix their lives everyone continue to live in calamity.I define adulthood as inscrutable. I also find adulthood insurmountable. Why is it that some adults are never happy with their life? You don't need anyone else's permission to be happy. Your life is magnificent not because someone says it is, but because you choose to see it as such! If certain adults dislike their life why not try to ameliorate the dilemma? How does an adult handle all the responsibili...

...cial knack I have. What if I can't get a job as a photographer because nobody likes my work or I'm not diligent enough? Thinking about my life freaks me out. I don't want to have a tedium life. I won't have a drab life. I want my life to be spontaneous and full of jovial. I want to try to have the best life I possibly can before I become deceased. I want to be remembered for my beautiful photographs. Even after posthumous I want my photographs to be seen by the public. That is why I want to leave my life's work of photographs behind for anyone to admire. In conclusion don't regret anything because at someone point you wanted it. Regardless of whether it was a bad experience or a good experience, everything happens for a reason. You are where you are today regardless of every decision you have ever made. My life as a teenager is soon coming to an end I must say adieu!

  • Emerging Adulthood: The Period Of Development

    1578 Words  | 4 Pages

    But is emerging adulthood a period that every young person experiences through their life, in every culture and exactly the same ages or are there any restrictions for young people to experience this emerging phase. Marriage was the significance that a person entered adulthood, it usually happened between the ages of 16-18 for females and 18-20 for males. This small window before marriage only allows for a period of adolescences but no emerging adulthood. So this means that emerging adulthood is not a universal phase but one that only is experienced by those people that delay taking any adult like responsibilities until past their teens. Because some countries are extremely industrialized the requirement of people to have a higher education is reinforced, many emerging adults remain in school until their early or mid twenties to obtain a gainful position. This allows them to explore relationships and different jobs before they consider taking on the responsibility to marry and procreate and support a child financially. Although marriage is mostly calculated by some, there are cultures such as the Mormon Church that have a short emerging period. Due to cultural beliefs, there is no premarital sex and usually aim to have large families, so the pressure is on the young people to wed early and procreate because this is what is expected of them from both their families; it’s the

  • Beliefs on Marriage and Divorce

    Marriage and divorce are culturally ruled, as I have noted from my interviews with friends and family of different cultures who have married, perhaps some have divorced, and with each experience in love they have culturally accepted values that pertain to their overall ideals and values on love, marriage, shared values, etc. The purpose of this paper is to establish a clear understanding of human nature as it relates to the portrait of adulthood and mate selection; institution of marriage, procreation, and even divorce as it relates to acceptance of failed expectations and moving on. I was not surprised to learn that the people I interviewed were traditional in their beliefs that marriage is a serious commitment that should be respected and approached for longevity.

  • Arnett's Theory Of Emerging Adulthood

    1071 Words  | 3 Pages

    J. J. Arnett argues his theory about a developmental stage individuals go through of 18-25 year olds as a new concept, (Arnett, 2000, pp. 469). He describes emerging adulthood as being a sustained period of time where this age group, as mentioned previously, explores their roles preceding being an adult. These movements can include events similarly by taking longer than previous years to get married and have children, moving back in with their parents at a point during this age span, exploring self-identities, not feeling like an adult and feelings of self-failure. James E. Cote, who is a previous colleague of Arnett argues the opposite about this concept being an unexperienced developmental stage Arnett calls, “Emerging Adulthood”. Cote states

As I've gotten older, however, I've realized the naivety of this misconception and I've seen the struggles of adulthood firsthand.Back then, I had no idea that my transition to adulthood would occur much sooner than expected and in a way that no one should have to endure. When I was sixteen years old, my transition to adulthood was marked by my unexpected responsibility as a caregiver for my ill mother.

  • Essay On Emerging Adulthood

    1181 Words  | 3 Pages

    Extensive demographic and cultural shifts have taken place over the past few decades that have made late adolescence and early twenties into a new transitional developmental period known as emerging adulthood for young individuals across industrialized societies. Arnett (2000) argues that emerging adulthood is a “distinct period of the life course” that is “characterized by change and exploration of possible life directions” (469). Additionally, a critical area of identity exploration during emerging adulthood is love and romantic relationships. Arnett contends that “demographic changes in the timing of marriage and parenthood in recent decades has led to prolonged periods of adolescence and delayed adulthood transitions” (470).

  • Separation John Updike Analysis

    969 Words  | 2 Pages

    John Updike’s separating, is a short story about a middle aged couple who are contemplating divorce, due to the husbands continuous affairs with another woman. After reading the short story, my observation is that the root cause for the dissolution of the Maple family is due to what we call a “mid-life crisis”, mostly from Richards’s dealings with his crisis in particular. This is the explained restlessness that most adults experience at one time or another, as they enter their middle age years. The cause of the “mid-life crisis” stems from the unsureness of the decisions that were made while in their 20’s and 30’s, and the realization that as they have aged, they may have encountered some physical limitations. Richard is feeling overwhelmed, and breaks free from his reality, that ultimately destroys his family and marriage in the process.

    In conclusion, the growing up or the two stages in life are governed totally by a series of situations, parenting, and events that affect the outcome of how the individuals will handle the changes in life. Using human intellect and determining aspects that are normal, life will be lived and a good balanced person in society will be achieved. Because every person is different and an individual, the outcome in everyone will be different.

Early adulthood, usually begins from late teens or early twenties and will last until the thirties (Santrock, 2013). Early adulthood revolves around changes and exploration while middle and late adulthood are more of stability. The transition from adolescence and adulthood differs among every individual. The onset of the transition is determined by many factors such as culture, family background, and the personality of the individual. Emerging adulthood (as cited in Santrock, 2014) is the term to describe the transition period from adolescence to adulthood.

Graduating high school, applying to college, buying your first car or first house all bring back adulthood recaps of your life, and while both of these are very major and unforgettable moments apart of our lives, I’m going to talk about how similar and different these times really are.
