Question

How is adolescence similar to riding a roller coaster? ((theres nothing i could find for emotions or my class i am in ))}

Answer 1

Answer:

Of all the challenges they face in raising tweens and teens, parents probably complain most about the rapid mood swings of adolescence. Kids can be devastated and dejected one day and on top of the world the next.

If it seems like it’s worse now than ever, you’re probably right. Today’s tweens and teens are faced with more pressure, higher expectations and demands on their time than previous generations, and it’s stressful. Stress leads to irritability, anxiety and even depression.

And then again, sometimes it’s just hormonal teens being teens. The trick to surviving this time of their life is to know the difference between normal moodiness and something more serious. A good start is to understand how their needs are changing.
