I am twenty-six years old and in the young adult stage of life. I was faced with several big problems/decisions as a young person. A difficult decision I've had to make is learning to let go of people. The second difficult decision I had to make was to go back to school. I have made the difficult decision to let go of the people I care about for the safety of my family. My grandmother had recently discovered that she had cancer. My aunt had been giving us trouble for a while, but she was completely disrespectful to me, my mother, and my grandmother. We had our words. So I was left with the difficult decision of not associating with her or letting her hang around with my family. Over the summer my best friend had forced me to let her go. She was a sister to me but I couldn't deal with her anymore. She tried to get me to lie to her husband about her husband cheating in my house. Having been raised with good morals I couldn't do it. Now it's as if our relationship never existed. I let her and her family go because I didn't want my children to grow up with someone like that. Another difficult decision was to return to college to earn a degree. I've been dealing with this issue since I graduated high school. I wanted to go to college, but there were some things holding me back. I have bad anxiety when I'm around a lot of people. When I went to orientation at Western University, I was completely petrified and left. A couple of years later I applied to another college, but soon found out I was pregnant with my first child. So I didn't participate. I now have two young children but I had to make the decision to go back to school. It's difficult to raise children who have a dead-end job. I'm not saying it's easy to go tosc......middle of paper......favorite sport) since his grandfather's death. An important decision he made was to get his driving license. He loves to wander around the city, pick up girls and do his own thing. He even took over his grandfather's truck. He told me he likes to come and go as he pleases. He feels more adult now that he has gotten his driving license. As we age, we are forced to make big decisions and deal with difficult questions. Each generation's problems are similar because they all make big decisions and deal with difficult issues. They are different because each generation has more complex problems and how they are addressed. In adolescence we begin to face problems and decisions. In young adulthood, people begin to act based on morals and common sense. By middle adulthood, most people know what they want and begin to develop more health problems.
