Module 4

During the adolescence stage the brain releases hormones which help develop the body as well as the mind. Puberty is an extremely important stage which takes place during the adolescence stage. Puberty can be defined as "the period during which adolescents reach sexual maturity and become capable of reproduction". This emotional stage changes drastically, as new thoughts cycle through their minds. Having an “appearance” becomes a major thought of a teenagers head and brings along the thought of “is this going to make me popular or not”?  The allusion that can be taken statement that has to due with the instruction is that, guidance in some form should be offered to every adolescent.

While confrontation between peers has good ideas that could come from it. I feel as though it wouldn’t be effective that much. If adolescents have problems, whether it be from inside or outside, I don't believe he or she will be able to find an answer or solution from a peer who is most likely going through the exact same problem. But with that I strongly feel talking to a peer about a particular problem the child will be more likely to open up and discuss the situation without any holes in the story due to the comfortably the peer will bring. The same comfortably may not be present when talking to a parent or teacher


The most efficient form of instruction is student-to-teacher confrontation. Being an adult and having gone through the adolescent stage in their life, knows how to handle a variety of situations and circumstances knowing the most likely outcome. The finest knowledge can be passed from the teacher to the student so that the student can find the solution for the problem in the most effective way. Although the student might not feel the same comfort confronting a teacher rather than a peer, about his or her issue, the end product or solution will be beneficial and a much more reliable outcome.
