Adolescence

The older days of adolescence and the new days of adolescence. The older days and newer days of adolescence are similar because we all had to go through he same thing. We all had to go through changes we are not used to. We have to adapt to the new things that are happening. The difference between them is that there was a lot going on back then. I mean a lot. There were wars and fights, and and new people coming into our lives. Even today there are wars and fights, and new people, but I think kids back then had to have a lot of responsibility. Like my grandpa, he had to do a lot of chores and do stuff for soldiers that were there in Greece then. Now, we can do what we want and get what we want.(Sometimes) We have people we can talk to about what we are going through. My grandpa didn't have anybody to talk to. He had to rough it out. I think it is easier now because we have learned about what is coming our way. In the older days kids could have been going through this stage without even knowing what was happening to them, so thats why i think it is easier now because we have more knowledge. The changes over the generations is that we have more technology and better medicine, the goverment has changed aswell. We have a lot more these days then what kids had back then.

  1. Meaghan, yes we do know what is coming our way, and lots of times kids today have more information about it than kids used to. It's more in the open now. We have more knowledge, or at least we have access to it. You did a great interview. Your grandfather is very interesting!
