Problems in Adolescence

April 11th, 2012 | Posted by in education news - (Comments Off)

The developmental phase of adolescence is a very important individual. Harold Alberty (1957) suggests that adolescence is a period in the development of a person who lived a lie since the end of childhood to early adulthood. Conger argues that adolescence is a very critical period which may be erupakan the best of time and the worst of time.

We find different interpretations of the experts on adolescence:

Freud interprets adolescence as a time to find the sexual life forms that have interpreted the Buhler definitif.Charlotte adolescence as a time-mengisi.Spranger content needs to read an interpretation of adolescence as a period of growth with changes in the fundamental structure of the psyche.
Hofmann interprets adolescence as a period of formation of attitudes towards everything experienced by the individual.
G. Stanley Hall interprets adolescence as a period of storm and Drang (storm and hurricane).
Experts generally agree that the span of adolescence lasts from age 11-13 years to 18-20 years (Abin Shamsuddin, 2003). In the span of this period there are several indicators of significant differences, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Therefore, experts mengklasikasikan adolescence into two parts: (1) early adolescence (11-13 years till 14-15 years), and (2) late adolescence (14-16 yr sd18-20 th) .

Adolescence is characterized by a variety of changes, both physically and psychologically, who might pose a particular problem or problems for the teenager.pabila not accompanied by an effort of self-understanding and self-direction is right, it can even lead to a variety of juvenile delinquency and criminal acts. Problems that may arise in adolescence include:

Problems associated with physical and motor development.

In adolescence is characterized by rapid physical growth. Physical conditions in adolescence is seen as an important thing, but when the physical state does not correspond to expectations (the discrepancy between body image with self picture) can cause a sense of dissatisfaction and lack of confidence. Likewise, a disproportionate physical development. Reproductive maturity in adolescence requires effort gratification and if not guided by the norms of behavior can lead to sexual deviation.

Problems related to cognitive and language development.

In early adolescence is characterized by the rapid development of intellectual abilities. However, when the teenager does not get the opportunity to develop intellectual skills, particularly through education at school, it probably would not develop his intellectual potential optimal. Likewise adolescence, especially early adolescence is the best time to get to know and explore a foreign language.However, because of limited opportunities and facilities and pre facilities, causing difficulties for the young master a foreign language. Inevitably, in the era of globalization, mastery of foreign languages ​​is essential to support the success of one’s life and career. But with the obstacles in the development of incompetence in foreign languages ​​must be more or less affect the life and career success. Delays in cognitive and language development may also result in emotional aspects, social and behavioral aspects and other personalities.

Problems associated with the development of social behavior, morality and religion.

The teenage years are also referred to as the social hunger (thirst social), which is characterized by the desire to get along and be accepted in the peer group (peer group). Rejection of the peer group can lead to frustration and make him as isolated and feel inferior. But otherwise if the teen can be accepted by their peers and even become an idol of course he would feel proud and have the honor in itself. Social behavior problems in adolescents does not only happen with a group of peers, but also can occur with parents and other adults, including teachers at the school. This is due in adolescence, especially early adolescents be characterized by an ambivalent desire, on the one hand the desire to remove the dependency and can determine their own choice, but on the other hand he still needs a parent, especially economically. In line with the growth of reproductive organs, social relationships are developed in adolescence was marked also by the desire to establish a special relationship with other species and if not guided action can lead to distortion of social behavior and sexual behavior. In adolescence is also marked by a willingness to experiment and test the reliability of the existing norms, if not guided, it may be developed into a conflict of values ​​in themselves and their environment.

Problems associated with the development of personality, and emotional.

Adolescence is also called the time to discover the identity of themselves (self identity). Any identity quest, mostly done by trial and error behavior, the behavior of imitation or identification. When the teen fails to find his identity, he will experience an identity crisis or identity confusion, so it may be formed personality system that describes the state itself is not the truth. Reactions and emotional expressions are still unstable and not yet under control in adolescence may have an impact on personal and social life. He became often feel depressed and moping or he would be someone who behaves aggressively. Quarrels and fights are often the result of emotional instability.

Other than those described above, of course there are many other problems of adolescence. Incidence of adolescent problems are influenced by various factors, both internal and external. In order for teens to avoid the various difficulties and problems would need the wisdom of all parties.

This is the Characteristics of Human Freedom

April 4th, 2012 | Posted by in education news - (Comments Off)

On one occasion I found a blog walking papers in the form of e-paper, titled “Seven Characteristics People of Freedom”, written by a famous preacher Aa Gym.Quintessence of the seven traits are:

First, a free man through life will not be tortured by the amount of desire. Actually has a very human desire, even a man can thrive and excel because there is a desire.However, if the desire to live enslaved deprived of happiness, worship, time, thought, effort, cost and even just to serve our desires and wishes are clearly not bring benefits to the glory of the world and the hereafter, it means that we have been colonized by desire.

Second, free from the bondage of lust. Lust is part of God’s grace that completes our lives to be happy even noble. However, the desire itself should be under our control. We see people who are enslaved to lust, the days just thinking of disobedience to destroy the values ​​that exist in themselves and destroy others, solely because of lust enslaved. Similarly, people who enslaved passions of anger, his mind full of abominations, simmering resentment. Full of insolence he said, his actions become uncontrollable and contemptible, and he certainly would never liked by others, so that his days full of tension.

Third, the characteristics of people whose lives it is not easy to free enslaved by love. One of which beautify and adorn our life is love. But we see there are people who fall into the valley ignominious acts, despised precisely because of love, of course the question is who makes it blind love is blind to the truth.

Fourth, be honest. Every time a lie is a lie it would be a prison for us. We will always be anxious, afraid to lie (lie) we note that we do require follow-up lie. Therefore, it would not be independent of people who do not keep himself from the lies and dishonesty.

Fifth, tawadhu will never offend, but rather will raise the degree of a person. Dream if we want to be happy if we become proud and arrogant. Happiness and freedom are the property of the people tawadhu.

Sixth sincere. Sincerity is the key to the independence of the liver. Riya people who likes to show off, that his greedy for praise, will be a fashion victim and the victim of date. But those who are sincere will not bother with human judgment. What he thought was always thinking about the best and satisfied with the judgment of Allah SWT.

Seventh, more and more dependent on something then we will be afraid of losing something. As people will be afraid of leaning on the chair seat is taken. But depend on God, because that is what will satisfy God hold everything we need.
