2 Insights into Adulthood: Perspectives from Middle Adults If you had a chance to talk to a teen, what would you recommend they do to establish and maintain their physical health? Do you follow these recommendations yourself? If I had a chance to talk to a teenager now, I would ask them what they do currently to maintain their physical health. When it comes to teenagers, they don’t always have their physical health first in mind they’re more worried about what’s going on social media or maybe they have too much homework to worry about that kind of stuff. But depending on their answer, I would give them recommendations on what they should do for the physical health based on their worry for their for school health when it comes to teenagers it is not as easy as just telling them what to do and what they need to do for their physical health right now, and their stage of life they are questioning authority having their own opinion so it’s not always going to be easy fix ( Feldman, 2021) . I would recommend that they do some type of physical exercise every other day or every 2 to 3 days whether it is walking in a park or playing basketball with their friends. I myself as a teenager did follow a purity, rigorous physical health routine I did sports for six out of seven days during the week all year round and I constantly eat food that was good for me and gave me energy. I would recommend they would try to fall asleep whenever they found themselves not doing anything as they need as much sleep as possible sometimes teenagers lack time management to add sleep into their schedule because they’re choosing to stay up all night to play video games or hang out with their friends or even doing homework. I would let the teenager now that their physical health is important, and it is going to affect them in the future if they don’t start taking care of their body now. Anything that I recommend to a teenager I would follow myself because I take pride in my physical health as I want to live a long, healty life
3 At what point was it absolutely clear that you had entered adulthood? When do people in your family recognize someone as an adult? This kind of question is purely situational as different cultures have different events that signify that a person has entered adulthood in America. It’s one we turn 18 in Mexico turning 16 is your first step into adulthood. I don’t necessarily believe that there is a specific event that signifies we enter adulthood other than our body physically maturing due to genetics. People in my family recognize individuals as adult at the age of 18 when they are on their way to college, and they have graduated high school, or they are pursuing a career. I come from a very Hispanic family, but we do have a lot of modern views on individuals as my family understands. The cognitive development does not fully form until an individual, 20s. Even though in my family, the age of 18 is your first step into adulthood it does not mean you are a full adult, as we are fully aware that we are still developing at this age. What defines a healthy relationship? What roles do culture and values play in healthy relationships? Personally, a healthy relationship is between two individuals. Actively communicate about the important things in life meaning, physical health, mental health, and emotional health. Yes, communicating about the daily tasks and keeping trust is important, but being able to collaborate and bring to different pointe of used together to work in a relatively healthy manner as well come to find a healthy relationship. Cultures do play a role as it is different in each place. I am from a Hispanic background that has toxic view towards relationships when looking at it from the outside prospective. On the inside, it is seen as a healthy relationship because it is normalized within the culture. Some individuals do not do well with the culture
