even from his birth to his growth. It is undeniable
that you may feel the changes within you or,

constant thing that will always happen to us. That

8. 1. Improving Access to Places and Programs
To Be Physically Active
 Implement 'Complete Streets' policies
(Complete Streets is a transportation policy
that makes streets safe, convenient and
comfortable for users of all ages and abilities)
Identify safe routes for walking and cycling.
Build new places for physical activity or turn
an abandoned or vacant parking lot into a
park, multipurpose court, or playground.

fields, and playgrounds when school is not in
session.

9. 2. Conduct Community-Wide Campaigns
 Promote physical activity messages to
teens and their families through
television, radio, newspapers, movie
theaters and billboards. Local media could
feature stories about young people who
have made physical activity a priority
 Include physical activity messages with
activities that would engage teenagers,
such as health fairs and walking/running
events (eg. walk-a-thons)

10. 3. Work with Schools to Increase Teenage Physical Activity
 Colleges, universities, hospitals, health departments,
businesses and community groups can work with schools
to support physical activity programs. Such support
can include donating equipment or money or
encouraging staff to volunteer time to lead physical
activity programs outside of school hours
 Support 'Safe Routes to School' programs by finding
and promoting safe ways to walk and bike to school
 Encourage community organisations to offer after-
school physical activity programs for teenagers in
school halls/gymnasiums, playing fields, and playgrounds 10

14. Angst
A child who has
fear of life and the
world. He hates
going to school, is
afraid of social
events, or angry
about the state of
the world.
Most of the teenagers attitude
are:
Anger
For a teenager, rage can
be processed in a variety
of ways. I’ve seen irate
kids punch holes in the
drywall or bang their
heads onto the floor in
fury. There are teens
turn that anger inward,
and become depressed,
isolated and lonely.

15. Anxiety
Our society is silently
producing more and more
young people who are
stressed, stretched, and
strained. They feel the
concerns and pressures of
parents, peers, or
culture (and maybe a
mixture of all three) and
gain an attitude of self-
doubt and apprehension.
Arrogance
This attitude is the one
that can really get under
your skin. You see this
attitude when kids
say, Mom, you’re
dumb. Or, Dad, you can’t
understand. This could
turn someone mad! But
this cocky attitude is a
sign of insecurity, a sense
that a teen is not
measuring up so they have
to put on a false bravado
to mask it.

16. How does
teens
make
Decision?
16

17. Many parents do not understand why their
teenagers occasionally behave in an impulsive,
irrational, or dangerous way. At times, it seems
like teens don't think things through or fully
consider the consequences of their actions.
Adolescents differ from adults in the way they
behave, solve problems, and make decisions. There
is a biological explanation for this difference.
Studies have shown that brains continue to
mature and develop throughout childhood and
adolescence and well into early adulthood.

18. 18
Based on the stage of their brain
development, adolescents are more likely to:
•act on impulse
•misread or misinterpret social cues and
emotions
•get into accidents of all kinds
•get involved in fights
•engage in dangerous or risky behavior
Adolescents are less likely to:
•think before they act
•pause to consider the consequences of their
actions
•change their dangerous or inappropriate
behaviors

19. 19
These brain differences don't mean that
young people can't make good decisions or
tell the difference between right and
wrong. It also doesn't mean that they
shouldn't be held responsible for their
actions. However, an awareness of these
differences can help parents, teachers,
advocates, and policy makers understand,
anticipate, and manage the behavior of
adolescents.
