The teenage age is the period of life of children from 11-12 till 15 years. During this period of time the teenager passes the hugeway in the development: through the internal conflicts with itself(himself) and others, through external failures it can find feeling of the personality. One of the main problems of teenage age - a problem of communication with contemporaries. Relationship with companions is in the center of attention of the teenager, they in many respects define behavior, activity, and further influence development of personal qualities. Thanks to rapid growth and reorganization of an organism, at teenage age interest in the appearance sharply increases. The new image physical "I" is formed. The child sharply endures all defects of appearance valid and imaginary. The disproportion of parts of a body, awkwardness of movements, abnormality of features, skin losing children's purity, excessive weight or leanness — everything upsets, and sometimes leads to feeling of inferiority, isolation, even to neurosis. Shkokla and the doctrine figure prominently in life of teenagers, but not identical at different children, despite awareness by all of importance and need of the doctrine. For many the privlekatelknost of school increases because of possibility of broad communication with contemporaries, but the doctrine quite often suffers from it. For the teenager the lesson — is 45 minutes not only study, but also a situation of communication with schoolmates and the teacher, nasykshchenny a set of significant acts, estimates, experiences.

I enjoy all the seasons for the different things they bring. It' s hard to say that I hate winter. I prefer summer because I’m a summer person. /// Let's face it, in winter it' s getting dark earlier, and I feel sleepy. Of course, I hate cold mornings when trying to get dressed. My illness comes back with winter,I become heavier and I turn into a lazy person The sun gives me my daily charge of happiness, so I become so gloomy and negative during winter! I don't like the cold weather. I hate cold fingers, having a runny nose. On top of that, I hate to stand around waiting for a bus in a cold weather, and of course, the buses are late, because of snow that covered icy roads and poor visibility caused by horrible winter conditions and blizzards. Those are the worst to stand in minus 15-20 degrees waiting for a bus that feels like it will never show up. In winter basically everyone is in closed areas like restaurants, clubs and pubs. /// I listed why I hate winter but I want to mention that it has good points too. The holidays and the New Year arrive, the end of the first half of the school year approaches. It's one of the few times during the year with the exception of weekends that my family is together for an entire day doing something fun together. I like all winter activities. I love the snow falling outside my window and the feeling of sitting with the plaid with a good book. The snow is very beautiful until it starts to melt. The streets become grey , slushy , muddy , and wet. For me , winter is amazing for about two weeks, but after that, I'm done with it completely.
