Adolescence is a
stage that marks the transition between childhood and adulthood it means that adolescents
have many important developmental tasks to achieve because they are in the
process of forming their own identity; consequently sometimes it's hard for us
to work with them because of their changing personalities and the many
different process that they face. Even though these changes and all what it
implies working with teenagers, it is an amazing job and it has become one of
the most wonderful experiences that I have had. Even if sometimes working with
teens gets hard for me because I tend to behave like a teenager, but I know I
have to behave like a grown up and I do my best to do it.
What I like
about working with teenagers:
1. Their energy.
They are so energetic and they always want to participate and do the classroom
activities that I assign.
2. I feel
identified with them. I share some ideas, thoughts and behavior traits with
them that make me feel comfortable and good teaching them.
3. They make me
smile. They are so ingenious and they always say jokes or things that make me
laugh.
4. They are curious. They
are always asking questions and wanting to know more; they love to explore and
try new things.
5. They are
unique. Each of them is different and unique in a kind, so I have the amazing
opportunity of discovering the personality of each teen.
6. They are self-conscious.
They know what they are and what they want.
7. They are very
creative. They always have plans and ideas that we can apply in the classroom.
What I don't
like about working with teenagers:
1. Some of my
students talk a lot during the class and I have to be asking them to be quiet
and to pay attention.
2. Some of them
are insecure. They doubt too much about their strengths and their potential.
3. Some students
are irresponsible. They don't take learning seriously.
4. Bad judgment.
Some of them don't know how to differentiate what is good or bad for them.
5. They prefer
to do things on they own. Sometimes they don't like to do team work and they
prefer to work alone.
