Should Teenagers be Treated as Adults? — A Sociological Perspective
<p>An adult’s relationship with a teenager is an extremely complicated dynamic, especially when they are a young achiever. The term young achiever is a way of highlighting children who accomplish great feats and successes, at a young age. Should adults treat teenagers as equals — concerning their successes as well as the effects it has on their mental health? Throughout history, it is evident that adults treat high performing kids with less respect or praise than they would if they were an adult; however, this raises the question that should they then be treated as adults and equals? And why is it that successful children are treated differently to successful adults? This decision comes with many considerations and can influence the sociology of both the child and the adult in the relationship. In this article, I will be attempting to answer this complex question of whether teenagers should be treated as adults, and will discuss the results of doing so or not doing so while relating it with mental health and young success.</p>
