To become mature, people must learn important lessons from experience.
Explanation:
This is a theme that all these memoirs share. In these texts, the authors relieve the experiences they had when young, and try to understand how these led them to become the adults that they are now. Therefore, these stories can be classified as describing rites of passage and the transition to adulthood. For example, in <em>I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings</em>, Maya Angelou describes the impact that moving around had for her. She tells us that she was sent to seven different homes between the ages of three and sixteen. This had a definite impact in her feelings of isolation as an adult. Another example is the memoir <em>No Gumption</em>, where the author tells us how his lack of "gumption" pushed him to become a writer and thus a full-fledged adult.
One thing that teen boys face is that they are held up to standards that they wont be able to reach quite yet. They may think that its wrong to do something that an average man does. Their held up to be strong, and emotionally strong as well.
Another thing is that they are pressured to be "men." when some aren't ready. Some aren't ready to face the real world yet, when others say that they should 'man up' and face it.
