“Their (Young adolescents) social and emotional actions can range from childlike behaviors to adult perceptions… Young adolescents are making transition from the dependence to the childhood to the dependence to the adulthood. They are moving from the safety and security of their families to the insecurity of finding a place in the adult world.” — Brown & Knowles (2007).

Response: Sometimes we adults may think adolescents are consistently changing, nothing could satisfy them. I think it may because they are going through the transition from the childhood to adulthood and trying hard to look for a place for themselves and fit in our world. School is a place to help them to successfully go though this transition. Our personal characteristics as a teacher and professional knowledge are important components to help adolescent learners to achieve success.
