Dear Present Me,

study well and listen to my subject teachers. So, I motivated myself to be productive every
day. 
 DEVELOPMENT STAGES IN MIDDLE AND LATE
ADOLESCENCE
My learnings:
• Growing is never been easy, you need to be responsible on your own actions and
decisions in life.
• Adolescence is the period of puberty which a young person develops from a child into an
adult.
• Early adolescence is the age of 12-13 for me, at this age I'm already menstruate
• Middle adolescence is the age of 14-16. Now I'm 16 I need to take care of myself because
they said that the age of 16 is a dangerous age because some of us already in a
relationship so we need to be aware of ourself. 
My learnings:
• Late adolescence is the age of 17 above, at this age we already formed attitudes, learned
skills and established relations. Late adolescence should be planning or preparing for the
their futures.

 REALIZATION ABOUT  THE TOPIC

As a student you need to know your own duties and responsibilities in life,
learn how to interact with others especially when you have a problem.
Helping others or serving others also helping your community. Good deeds
should be done with intentions, not for attention.
