| "Ano nga ba?" |
Adolescence is the time when we first entered high school. This is the time when youngsters have almost every first of their lives—first romance, first kiss, first dance and etc. But did you know that this is also a time of struggle and hardships?
After
our elementary days, high school is the next interlude of our educational
progression. We usually see this as an exciting era for our self development.
Many teenagers take high school as a crash course because their minds are set
off to other annoying things. But this is the right place where we first
distinguish the difference of reality from fantasy, non-fiction from fiction.
In short, high school is the introduction of the real world around us.
This is the phase of our lives when we
first encountered ourselves being involved with something we shouldn’t be
involved. Being allies of certain fraternities and sororities is a very good
illustration of this. This is also the time of temptations; when someone is
engage of having a sexual affair or fling relationship towards a person of
opposite or of the same sex. Not only that, this also the time of many bullying
acts. Some students intimidate others just to seize their superiority. During
also this stage, we are easily inclined with different peer pressures—drinking alcoholic
beverages, smoking cigars, using illegal drugs and so on. This is also the time
when we struggle for our true identity. Unlike our elementary days, high school
is far more challenging and tricky.
High school is a time of uncertainty.
We are improbable for the things we usually see and observed. We typically keep
an eye for the unusual things. We perceive our track from innocence to
expertise.
