5 0

Francine Prose thinks that American High Schools do not teach literary works the way they should. (1) She says that the choice of books is not related to the teen's world of today.  (2) She defends that teens can’t relate to the stories anymore because schools do not teach them the stories, instead, they focus on the author’s life or the background of the book. With that, (3) they leave amazing stories behind, stories which teens would love to hear and to learn about.

Why is a teenager being emotionally stable a good benefit when moving out on their own
viktelen [127]

Answer and Explanation:

When a teenager is emotionally stable, they will think clearly in what they think will do best for them as they move out on their own. If they were not emotionally stable, their actions will be driven by their emotions, usually being  sadness, anger, and fear, or be driven by what's causing their emotions, which can be depression, negative thoughts, and thinking what others would say would be negative. An emotionally stable teenager will be able to make stronger decisions and will have put thought into what they want to do and what needs to be done for them. Their life will go smoother and happier than those who are emotionally unstable, because an emotionally unstable person has the chance of committing sui.cide or do bad actions such as drugs or smoking.
