I believe growing up in this day and age is more difficult than growing up in the 1980's and 1990's. Kids now have to deal with many normal aspects of growing up, and they have to deal with the techonologies that make it even more difficult. Every adult has been through the adolescent growing stages. This includes dealing with growth spurts, voice changes, skin issues, and the normal hormonal changes. How they learn to deal with these changes or in some cases NOT deal with them, will and can ultimately shape the adult they become.
