Why are there always some teenagers in every class who are shy or prefer to keep to themselves? It's not bad not to talk every now and then. Everyone has those days when everything goes wrong. But there is a difference between staying silent for a day or two because the teenager was scolded by a teacher in front of the class versus staying silent because he or she is afraid to speak up. God or whoever created us, gave us a mouth and a voice box for a reason. It is to eat and use as a tool to help us express how we feel. Nowadays, teenagers use their mouths more for eating than as a tool to express their emotions, which can lead to unpleasant results. Therefore, the biggest challenge for a teenager is to speak up when it might otherwise seem impossible. Therefore, a teenager's fear is to speak out because he is afraid of judgment from his peers, the possibility of being bullied, and of being falsely misunderstood by his peers. First, when teenagers speak up, they will not be falsely misunderstood by their peers because they know the real ones. For example, in Penelope, a film about being falsely misunderstood by one's peers, shows the protagonist, who has an unattractive nose but is said to be a monstrous and evil person. She was afraid that the media and everyone would judge her for her face, so she couldn't speak up and tell everyone what she really was like. It was towards the end of the film, when she had enough of the rumors making false claims about her, that she finally decided to speak out. No one thought badly of her because she was sweet, funny and intelligent. Furthermore, she has made friends who now know her inside and out, and not just on the basis… of paper… people cover their faces because they feel guilty or hide the fact that they committed the crime. So, if teenagers speak up, they will not be held guilty because they are telling their peers what they know and are not doing anything suspicious. Twenty-first century adolescents fear speaking out because they fear being falsely misunderstood by their peers, the possibility of being bullied, and they fear judgment from their peers. So asking a teenager to speak when it might otherwise seem impossible can be the biggest challenge for him. But it is by speaking openly that the teenager takes a stand against bullying, gives a different vision of himself to his peers and is not unfairly accused of an act. Speaking up is a solid foundation that a teenager must master not only for himself but also for others around him. Try talking and see what happens!
