True friends are like stars. You don’t have to always see them, but you know they’re always there” How’s my relationship with my peers? As an adolescent I craved to have my own peers wherein I can share my laughter’s, sorrows, problems, success and a lot of things that I can share of.

The article that when the relationships of young adolescents with members of their families get worse as the teenager progresses, the responsibility usually lies on both sides. Parents think of their adolescent sons and daughters much as they did when they were younger. Generation gap between teenager and their parents. This disparity is partly the result of radical changes in values and standards of behavior that normally occur in any rapidly changing culture, and partly the outcome of the fact that many young people now have better educational, social, and cultural opportunities than most of their parents had when they were teenagers.

Law of the Learners

Accountability, for me is a very big and scary word. The fact that you know that the other person’s fate also lies in your own decisions and actions gives chills down to my spine. The thin line between succeeding and failing depends solely on how you treasure situations.

Life is difficult, complex, thus, it is stressful

Stress is a universal human experience. It can be defined as a state that occurs when people are faced with demands from the environment that require them to change in some way. These environmental demands, whether pleasant or unpleasant require some kind of adjustment or adaptation. The environmental demand or stressor can be physical or psychological, intrinsic to a situation or attributed to it by the person involved, universal or unique to one person’s experience. Some specific stressors are physical in nature such as sleep deprivation, hunger, noise and pollution. Others are psychosocial such as traumatic events, life events, chronic difficulties, daily hassles and conflict. (Darley, J., Gluckserg, S., Kinchla, R. (1981))
Life on earth is very chaotic and perplexing. It is plagued by passion to possess. The pace of our modern world accentuates our sense of being fractured and fragmented. We feel hurried, strained and breathless. Its complexity tends to overwhelm us, thus, causing us stress. We cannot deny the fact that we human beings, more often than not are dictated by the world. Our circumstances control us and we accept this notion without a question. I personally would say that this is true. I can say this because I do experience it in my life despite of the fact that I am already a Christian. I then, conclude that this notion has no exemptions. All of us are prone to experience it.

 Before when I am not yet a devoted Christian, there are many worldly things impacted in me. Sometimes, I find it hard to understand myself, why am I reacting very defensive upon certain situations. As I look back on my life before, I’m the kind of person that loves lying and impersonating other people just to be accepted by my friends and I hate to be criticized by other people in the way I live my life. My friends use to tell me, what am I doing is not suitable to my personality and I just laugh at them and listen to what they say but after that throw it all away and come back again to my false attitudes, simply because I just don’t want anyone to correct what am I doing, because I always think that what am I doing is for my own good, to be accepted and not to be rejected by other people. This fear and insecurities of mine drives me to hide my true personality and always led me to the point of disappointment.

Motives
