Adolescence (lat adolescere, (to) grow) is a transitional stage of physical and mental human development that occurs between childhood and adulthood. This transition involves biological (i.e. pubertal), social, and psychological changes, though the biological or physiological ones are the easiest to measure objectively. Historically, puberty has been heavily associated with teenagers and the onset of adolescent development. In recent years, however, the start of puberty has seen an increase in preadolescence (particularly females) and extension beyond the teenage years (typically males), making adolescence less simple to discern.
The end of adolescence and the beginning of adulthood varies by country
as well as by function, as even within a single country there will be
different ages at which an individual is considered mature enough to be
entrusted with particular tasks, such as driving a vehicle, having
sexual relations, serving in the armed forces, voting, or marrying.
Also, adolescence is usually accompanied by an increased independence
allowed by the parents or legal guardians and less supervision,
contrary to the preadolescence stage.

A loving family is the foundation for raising a child into a whole man, or whole woman. Our families, though torn and tattered, are still as important today as they were with our ancestors. Let us rebuild the family ties between generations. The well-being of an enlightened society can then follow our lead. Teach always a compassionate morality in the family, and an enlightened justice will begin to thrive. Thus our entire society prospers.
As Gibran wrote so eloquently, children are our arrows to the future, our promises and prayers for a better world. Teach your children well. All children are born with innate sovereignty and born free. They have their own hearts, minds and souls, and will demand internal authority over their lives. Our precious and beloved children deserve our love, honor and kindness as they will one day take us to unknown worlds, places their parents can never go.
"The life of children, as much as that of intemperate men, is wholly governed by their desires." – Artistotle
Elders and those of wisdom must serve, love and protect all the youth of each generation, or humanity is truly lost. Our efforts today will multiply a thousand-fold in a better world soon to be.
"Let us put our minds together and see what kind of life we can build for our children" - Sitting Bull
