Reflection of LOI 2

 Hello. My name is Amogh Ajay and this is the reflection of the second LOI, 'Factors that contribute to well-being during adolescence', Unit - Adolescence, Key Concept - Causation. This LOI was very interesting as I was able to realise that the phase of adolescence is a turbulent one and that if care is not taken, things can go south very quickly. 

During this phase, a HUGE gulf can be formed between the parents and the child. The children who would first be assertive and wouldn't refuse would suddenly trigger and start talking back, be aggressive and will start to want more independence and freedom. This is confusing for both groups, the parents and the child, and there is also a chance that this drift can start brewing trouble between both the parents, and that trouble can spread through the whole family. 

A few steps are:

1. Do not let the negative emotions, like sadness and anger, flow easily in the mind. Allowing it to flow can greatly turn the phase of puberty to the bad route of anger and hate.

2. We should do our best in understanding what is happening to us and try to comprehend with it. Not going with it can cause phyiscal and mental ruckus and change your thinking in a bad way.  

3. Go to a counselor if you are not understanding what is happening to you. He/She can give you some advice which can help you to maintain emotional wellbeing during adolescence. 

4. If you feel like not going to a counselor, try your best in letting your parents know what emotions are clicking in you. They can be of great support to you as they have gone through this phase before.
