After reading chapter 5, I think I can appreciate and understand the emotional development of many of our teenagers today. However, I have noticed that many of our adolescents today are angry. They do not know how to deal with their emotions and channel their emotions into a positive attitude. Many of our students are stressed about things in their lives that they should not have to worry about which may be taking care of their younger sibling because mom has to work and daddy is no where around. Many of them must get jobs to try and help make ends meet at home and cannot focus on school like they should. Many of them are raising themselves which I think gives them that attitude that they are "grown" when in fact they are still kids. They are growing up too fast and dealing with too many issues which I feel society plays such a huge role in their emotional development.
