The end has come....
The beginning of this project I was hesitant and unsure as I didn't realy know anything about tumblr and didn't really understand how it would assist in learning course material I suppose. However its actually been a good way to learn about the course material through interactive learning. There are many different parts of adolescence development and all of which are equally important to maintain a balance for positive development. Bronfenbrenner believes the environment, which includes the people in your life, is an important part of development and after this course I strongly believe this is true. I've learnt about the importance of developing your self i.e. identity and the factors that can affect this. Also important is that there are people around adolescents for them to communicate with as there is a lot to take on with puberty and the changes that occur during adolescence. People lile family and friends are key, however there are many other tyes of people that play a role and that can help during this period including teachers, coaches and self help organisations. Relationships are built and broken easily during adolescence and support can go a long way to encourage healthy development is all domains; cognitive, physical and socially. The other thing that can assist is knowledge. Educating teenagers about the transition between childhood and adulthood will help reduce many of rhe negative parts of adolescence such as risk taking, deaths and helping to manage mental illness can be increased through education. Thanks to everyone for the input through this interactive learning process, I think I can speak for everyone when I say its been an I interesting way to go about an assignment and a new skill many of us have found "different"
