Adolescence Now vs Then

During our Parent Grandparent Interview we learned a lot about the times of adolescence then. The adolescence then and now have changed dramatically. Many shocking events has changed the minds of parents to having curfews and not letting children and teens out. Safety changes the lives of many people.

Back then there were wars but depending on which area you live it can affect your whole entire life. Some people were isolated from any major events it won't affect you. Back then parents were strict but do to the area that is safe children can go back home at any time. If the area was unsafe there surely would be curfews. These days parents are really caring but the world is really unsafe so there is nothing that anyone can do so we have curfews.

Adolescence Then had opportunities to socialize with friends and hang out and they took advantage of that and they didn't stay at home but went out to be more active. Teenagers these days all stay at home inactive and socialize through phones and some are just anti-social and plays games all day long.

Safety is a number one priority and this is what changed the adolescence then and the adolescence now. The world changes in many ways and this is one way of how it changes.

Socializing at FRIM

Socializing at FRIM is like being in Malaysia Week. In Malaysia Week we will be sleeping with other people which makes it a great opportunity to learn more about that person when you and the person are not busy. At FRIM you learn about a persons weakness and strengths. This is a key point because when you learn their weaknesses you will be able to fight them. If you learn their strengths then you know who is better than you at what and you can partner up with someone that is really good to work with.

At FRIM I wasn't uncomfortable with people. I liked that I got to know people more better like about their strengths and weaknesses and their dreams. I didn't really hate anything socially and physically. FRIM is a very good place to be to build character and teamwork and friendship. There many people learned a lot about each other even the guys learned about the girls and the girls learned about the guys.
