Why teens are so hard to get and raise

adolescence.
    The social construction of Adolescence has attracted attention from a variety of observers staring with Greek philosophers .For instance, in the Fourth century B.CE Aristotle called teenagers” passionate, irascible, and apt to be carried away by their impulses .Several centuries later a Philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau called Adolescence a period of “tumultuous change“so much that it represented a reenactment of the earlier stages of life. Stanley Hall said that Adolescence was a time of Stormy Upheaval unlike any other developmental period. He also believed that Adolescence was a period that recapitulated the evolutionary development of the human Species. As such he saw Adolescence as a time of biologically determined storm and stress. In other words, Stanley Hall used the Term storm and stress to describe adolescence because He also believed that storm and stress was biologically determined by hormones. Hormones are the cause storm and stress of Adolescence He also believed that it was society’s job control the Raging Hormones that would unfailingly produce problems if left unlocked. For example if a teenage boy is experiencing serve mood swings, Bad behavior“(storm and stress) because of hormones and he does not have a good support system from his family parents, friends, he will make bad decisions which may lead to drugs or alcohol.
What is a personal fable and what role do personal fable play in Risk taking 
The "personal fable" is a common teen and older teen belief that arises from adolescent egocentrism. The personal fable is the adolescent's belief that he or she is highly special and unlike anyone else who has ever walked the earth. In other words, the adolescent thinks that since others are so obviously fascinated by him (adolescent egocentrism), he must be a very unique individual (the personal fable).
Belief in the personal fable is a developmentally normal cognitive limitation. Unfortunately, though, the belief can have serious consequences. In particular, the personal fable can cause a teen to believe that nothing bad could possibly happen to someone as exceptional as herself. In other words, since she's so special, she must be invulnerable. Some research has shown that belief in the personal fable and one's invulnerability is directly connected to risk-taking behaviors such as unprotected sex, use of alcohol and/or drugs, and physically dangerous acts, like driving without a license.
           Belief in the personal fable should not be confused with having high self-esteem.  teens with low self-esteem usually still hold a version of the personal fable. In fact, they may even perceive their critical self-judgments as "evidence" of their particular uniqueness - i.e., no one thinks quite as critically as they do. In other words, adolescents typically all believe they are special, even if they don't necessarily think of themselves as "good" special.
Psychologist David Elkind was the first to describe the personal fable and adolescent egocentrism.

  Islamophobia Adds to he Syrian Refugee Crisis  Racism has been reflected in discriminatory laws, practices, and actions (including violence) against racial or ethnic groups throughout the history of the United States. Since the early colonial era, White Americans have generally enjoyed legally or socially-sanctioned privileges and rights that have been denied to members of various ethnic or minority groups. European Americans have enjoyed advantages in matters of citizenship, criminal procedure, education, immigration, land acquisition, and voting rights. Before 1865, most African Americans were enslaved; since the abolition of slavery, they have faced severe restrictions on their political, social, and economic freedoms. Native Americans have suffered genocide, forced removals, and massacres, and they continue to face discrimination. European Americans, Hispanics, Middle Eastern, and Asian Americans, along with Pacific Islanders, have also been the victims of discrimination...

 your passion intact while improving clarity, structure, and impact: --- # **Stop the Genocide in Palestine** The world must wake up to the genocide happening in Palestine. Israel is not the victim in this conflict—the Palestinian people are suffering daily under occupation, oppression, and relentless attacks. Yet, the media distorts the truth, painting Palestinians as terrorists while portraying Israel as the oppressed. This pattern reflects a larger issue: the media's reluctance to show the suffering of non-white populations and its role in reinforcing racist stereotypes. The media rarely gives full coverage to the struggles of marginalized communities—whether Native Americans, Chinese, Italian immigrants, African Americans, people with disabilities, or women, especially Muslim women. Stories of oppression and resistance from these groups are often ignored, manipulated, or framed in ways that dehumanize them. This systemic bias allows injustices, like the current massacre in Pale...

 Educational Inequality for Refugees and Orphans in Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and Sudan: A Sociological Imagination Perspective  Introduction Education is a fundamental human right and a cornerstone of any developed society. Yet, for millions of displaced children around the world—especially refugees and orphans in Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and Sudan—this right is consistently denied. These children face complex, intersecting barriers that prevent them from accessing quality education. Sociologist C. Wright Mills’ concept of the sociological imagination provides a critical framework for understanding how personal hardships—such as a child not attending school—are deeply connected to larger social forces like war, poverty, systemic racism, and political neglect. Thesis: Through the lens of the sociological imagination, we can better understand the educational inequalities faced by refugees and orphans in the Middle East and North Africa by examining how structural factors suc...
