Who is a teenager? We define

In modern Russian language from year to year there are more and more words of foreign origin. And in this, perhaps, there is nothing surprising: the world is constantly changing, accordingly, new concepts and terms arise. Some of them we actively use, even without much thought about the meaning. For example, do you know who a teenager is? Where did this word actually come from? What are its roots? And are there equivalents in our native language?

Let's try to figure it out together.

Who is a teenager? We give a general definition of the concept

Translated from English, this word means nothing more than a teenager who is in transition. This is approximately 13 to 19 years, depending on the country in which the young person lives, and its cultural and national characteristics.

In general, those who speak a foreign language at the proper level will notice that the word "teenager" has at once two roots "teen" and "ager". The first can be translated as "teenager", and the second - as "a person who is at a certain age." So it turns out that a teenager is a person of adolescence.

Physiological characteristics of young people

Many are interested in who a teenager is from the point of view of the purely physiological characteristics of a given age. Let's try to give a detailed description.

This period is usually called the transition age. This is the time of puberty, when young people manifest secondary physiological signs. For example, in boys the growth of hair on the body (in the armpits, as well as in the groin area) and the face, there are nightly pollutions (but not all).

Girls form a figure and menstruation begins.

Psychological changes in behavior

At 13-17 years, young people often have some disagreements with their parents, there is an increased interest in the opposite sex and even the first love. Russian teenagers are no exception: they, as a rule, are looking for themselves. Many try the first cigarette, drugs, alcohol, actively participate in fights. Sexual relationships become the norm.

Young people want to like the opposite sex. They are interested in novelties of fashion, they are looking for their own style in clothes and manner of behavior. Teenage girls start using cosmetics.

Friends are priorities. They can forget about the promise that they gave to their parents, or simply not hear them, but the friends will come to the rescue at any second.

What is the life of modern youth?

The main features of this age are various kinds of hobbies. For example, music, sports, needlework, computer games, etc.

Now you can often hear that young people often spend their free time in nightclubs, in cigarette smoke and with a lot of alcohol. It's a delusion. Yes, there are such, but they are by no means the majority.

For example, among youngsters, yard gymnastic simulators (bars and a horizontal bar) and joint court games with a ball, which allow young people to strengthen their health and communicate with their peers, as well as with younger or older children, are gaining increasing popularity. Agree, this can not but rejoice.

Also of great interest are the so-called purely urban sports, among which the most popular are bicycles, skateboard, pacifier (small balls for group games and performing various trick elements) and rollers.

No less confession is enjoyed by reading, which under modern conditions of life has changed, moving from pages of books to monitors for computers, tablets and e-books.

Among those who are still in school, computer games were distributed. Here this really trouble. The Internet has densely entered our life, and every year draws more and more teenagers into its networks. Here with adults you can not disagree: gadgets kill free time. But at the same time, a computer with Internet access allows you to find and study useful information, various master classes on needlework and the creation of various costumes, so even on the World Wide Web you can spend time with benefit.

So, who is a teenager? This is a young man aged 13 to 19 years, who is visibly growing up physiologically and psychologically, has a lot of hobbies and is actively looking for himself.
