Adoloscence

The mood swings, the over-confidence, the 'I-am-always-right' attitude, the physical & mental changes. All of us are familiar with this part of our life. Adoloscence. A short, tumultous time of life during which we make some of the most imortant desicions and gain truck loads of knowledge through experience. During adoloscence, each child struggles to find his identity amidst the thousands he is surrounded by. Many pull through and are able to carve a niche fo themeselves, others find themselves as just another face in the crowd. We as adoloscents, or young adults, as our elders so fondly call us, face so many issues while making through this time. Many, if we choose it to be so, can teach us valuable lessons and take us to heights, or leave us scarred for life. Many adoloscents feel what they're going through - anger, resentment, angst - are beyond their control and give up. I say that we CAN channel our energy positively. Some of the greatest works of art, peices of literature, discoveries, inventions have been the result of anger well-channelled. I feel that adoloscence is just another roller coaster in the carnival of life. It has its ups & downs. We can either get off it exhilerated, no doubt, dizzy but braver than before; or end up shaky and puking in the corner.

Remember, Life is what you make it.
