While I was listening to other people’s interviews I realized that there are a lot of differences and similarities between adolescence now and adolescence then.
When my dad was a kid he spent a lot more time outside. Kids back then were a lot more active. Technology has advanced and kids spend a lot more time on computers or watching TV. Today kids spend more time indoors. Also is seems like they had a lot more freedom when they were younger. Parents were stricter but the kids had more freedom. Today parents are less strict and the kids have less freedom. There are also similarities. When the parents or grandparent’s were are age they felt the same way during adolescence. Adolescence is a stressful time.

  1. Kayla, do you feel that you have less freedom? Do you feel that your parents are stricter? As I said in class, and seemed evident in the interviews is that there seem to be a lot of contradictions! I would agree that no matter what era, teenagers have many of the same feelings!
