ALCOHOLISM AND TEENAGE

Have you ever been offered an alcoholic beverage? Or someone saying “Just have a little sip?” The majority of people have their first drink by the age of 14, and that first sip can be a long term problem in many of teenagers’ lives. Teenagers should be taking better care of their bodies considering the fact that they are still young. Alcohol has many side effects, therefore it should be avoided. If you allow underage drinking it will cause different reactions to the human body.

            The brain possesses many different functions that are in control of the human body and our actions in general. Memory and coordination are one of them. For example, the brain continues to develop in a person’s early twenties and when the brain is exposed to alcohol consumption, it may alter brain growth, coordination, and memory length. Teenagers who abuse of alcohol at an early age are considered to have a high brain damage than those who are not exposed to alcohol. Under the use of alcohol, the coordination of the human body can react in different ways without making sense, alcohol clouds your brain and hinders the ability of making decisions such as remembering those around you or even the ability to walk correct. The balance and coordination of a person start losing control once you let the alcohol control you.

            Furthermore, a person’s speech is another effect of underage drinking that can be altered by the use of alcohol. For example, studies have shown that alcohol increases the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA in the brain which are nerves signaling chemicals that decrease regular activity in neurons. GABA causes the sluggish movements and slurred speech that often occur in alcoholics after a long period of drinking.

            Lastly, teenagers have the best vision considering that they are at a young age. For example, the use of alochol when they are still young can cause long term problems with one’s vision that might result in blindness after a long period of time without receiving any help when it could have been avoided.

            The effects of underage alcoholism in the human body are loss of memory and coordination, slurred speech and blurred vision which can cause other disorders concerning your health. It is not about “fitting in” or being cool, it’s about taking a good care of your human body while one is young and can. Take care of your body and it will take care of you later. If you experiment with alcohol, you can hurt someone you love including yourself, so why drink it?......

                                     Socialization in teens

Teenage is a state where independence is the key. That said, it's likely that your teen is interested in spending more of her time with her peers instead of her family. While she will still use you as her home base.

Cliches -
The days of a watchful adult telling a group of kids to "play nice" is long gone by teenage years. As friends become increasingly more important your child. It's likely that he will feel the need to fit into his middle or high school's social scene. Although you want your teen to have friends, But also on the Smarter side of things you don't want your teen to adopt unhealthy ways such as - Smoking, Drinking And crash diet etc. So talk to your teen about such cliches, and help him understand that his real friends won't ask him to do things that he thinks are wrong or ostracize him for acting as an individual.

Social media -
While you may have spent the majority of your own teen years chatting on the phone and passing notes in class. The contemporary child has a much more tech-savvy approach to socialization. Social media use is a popular way for teens to connect with their real life and online friends.

Pros-
According to a report it states that 29 percent of teens feel that social networking decreases shyness and 15% say it gives better self image.

Cons -
Posting pictures and personal information on a public site can leave your teen vulnerable
to adult predators who are online. Talk to your teen about social media safety before she posts anything

Being socialized has it pros and cons, So my advice to teenagers is that you should be more cautious about sharing yourself on a public scale. And remember this

"Being social doesn't come from how many circles are you in or how many friends you have rather than the way you carry yourself in the society and how successful you are actually defines your social significance as a person"......
